Camaro Concept Blog

Everybody's got a blog.

Bob Lutz, GM Vice Chairman, had this to say about the new Chevrolet Camaro Concept car on the Fastlane GM blog:
If I had a dime for every time I've read the word "Camaro" in your comments on this blog in the past year, I could have financed the concept car out of my own pocket! And I would have... I like it that much.

If anything, it proves that we've been listening... to the rear-drive faithful... to the Camaro fanatics... and to those who say GM can't do anything exciting. I think our design staff did a great job on the concept, which really demonstrates the renewed focus on design throughout GM.

It recaptures the spirit of the first generation Camaro, one of the most popular sport coupes ever, and redefines it for new generations. But, and this is a big but, it's not just a retro car, it's a great design in and of itself. It truly demonstrates passion and performance, inside and out... in everything from the deeply-dished aluminum gaugelinks faces and the three-spoke steering wheel to the 400-horsepower aluminum V8 engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. The chassis is also state of the art, with four-wheel independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. And don't forget the big tires, 21 inches up front and 22 inches at the rear.
I can just picture Lutz hunched over his keyboard at 2:00 am punching out this pithy entry, can't you? Oh, you don't believe that GM's Vice Chairman writes his own copy? Cynic.
