The brand new 2009 Chevy Camaro from General Motors (it's the car to the left in the above photo). But a Tom Hilland of Denver doesn't have a lot of love for old GM as reflected in this interesting letter published in the January 2009 issue of Motor Trend:
With rare exceptions, European and Japanese cars-vehicles are just better put together and offer a much better driving experience. The Big Three have insulted potential buyers for so many years their customer base has evaporated. While GM was still offering its obsolete four-speed auto and thrashy V-6s, its competitors did the opposite with refined five and six-speed transmissions and smooth, well-presented engines with truly luxurious interiors. While the domestics played with their trucks and the imports obliterated them from the market, the choices became obvious as to which was the better buy. Motown Myopia? Musclecars are so 1950s in the 21st century. We don't need them, no matter the form, in 2009 or the future.
(I wonder how Mr. Hilland really feels? Hey, if Rick Wagoner's driving one, I want one!)
