Re: Bad news (rumors) for the Camaro

I think this is good. It actually makes sense to keep the Camaro with the Corvette being mid-engine.
I agree 60K is great for a supercar, but that doesn't matter a whole lot if you can't afford 60K. I do think a lot of sports car buyers would be alienated if Chevy's entry level sports car started at 60K.
I also agree that being different drive layouts will lower the chances of cannibalization, and should keep some performance differences. A Camaro can be 25 to 65K and a Corvette can be 60K to 150K.
Plus, I am glad there isn't an option for Camaro golf bags that take up the whole trunk... But don't worry, if you don't eat much you can put your lunch box under the hood. This talk and healthy competition should continue to make both cars get even better.
