New Camaro coming in early 2009, Wagoner says

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. -- General Motors will put the Chevrolet Camaro sports
car into production in late 2008, and put it on sale in early 2009, CEO Rick
Wagoner said today.

The Camaro will closely resemble the concept car unveiled in January at the
Detroit auto show, Wagoner said at the Management Briefing Seminars here.

The new Camaro will be a rear-wheel-drive car with independent rear
suspension. The car's styling work is being done in the United States, while
the rear-drive platform is being engineered in Australia, Wagoner said.
Buyers will have a choice of V-6 and V-8 engines, and manual and automatic
transmissions.

GM will announce the car's production site later, Wagoner said. He made no
comment on the potential for a Pontiac Firebird version of the car.

I sure hope the nose gets a major re-design before production. that front
end looked
like the old 1970's toyota celica, remember that one, a copy of the ford
mustang in profile and from the rear.

The tail end of the Camero concept was nothing to rave about ether.
