Post Camaro's demise on Aaron Brown/CNN

There is quite a large segment on CNN's Aaron Brown show. Actually Cooper Anderson is filling in tonight and it's now. Quite a nice piece, although Camaro Mom is getting on my nerves. LOL

Anyway, if you missed, they usually show a rerun of the show later on. About 1:00 or 2:00 AM in the morning, check local listings at tvguide.com.

I wish they would've mentioned whether or not they heard it was comming back, but they didn't say a thing. Probably wishful thinking on my part hoping I'd hear something. Oh well. Just thought I'd let everyone know. C-ya!

Are you serious!? the Camaro Mom was the only person in that segment SERIOUS about the Camaro's death. Anderson Cooper really showed his car ignorance, and tried to fill in the gaps by being his usual, ignorant, smart-*** self. And the fat black guy, he was just out for a joyride, although he did pay respect to the '69. But seriously, the mom was an excellent female advocate for the Camaro and she really was sad about the death. She even tried to rally consumers and GM for a possible comeback, while Anderson was being a snide jackass which is all he knows how to do.

Seriously, I don't expect much from CNN when it comes to F-Body but this was a total disaster of a segment, except for the mom.. she was the redeeming factor.

I only saw the end of the piece but Cooper seemed arrogant and condescending, exhuding all the classic stereotypes of F-body owners.

He even said something about "guys named vinnie" drive them. He had this condescending attitude toward his apparently british born, car niave mother who chose a Camaro in '79 over a BMW.

I think he was just a young elitist and was embarrased his mother didn't get a status car like all of her friends had.

I don't expect much from CNN period. Just a bunch of liberal biased "I got into journalism to save the planet" types rather than hard nosed news professionals.
