Well, rumor has it that they're thinking about a base 4-banger, and
you're
right, they've prety juch gotta bring out the Z28, but the SS, RS and
SS/RS
are up in the air, as is the Berlinetta.
Of course, when you consider that the 4-banger they're talking about
puts
out roughly the same amount of power as a mid-eighties 305, that's not too
terribly bad for both power AND fuel economy. Personally, I'm still quite
happy with my lil' ol' '85 305's power output...although an '09 ZR1
"RatMotor" in a new Camaro would be pretty sweet too! d;o)
As far as models go, I agree that there needs to be more than a single
model and more than a single price point in order for the Camaro to make
up
lost ground, AND even more im****tantly, to fill the market where it is
needed. Each individual model should also be available in Coupe or
Convertible, as well.
My personal choice for new release models would be, as noted, a Base
model, the Z28, and the Berlinetta, with the SS, RS and SS/RS models to
follow based on sales figures (a la cor****ate methodologies, donchaknow.)
With only those three models available at the outset, it'd be a pretty
wide
lineup to start with, really, with 6 different body/engine package
combinations to choose from.
You know, of course, that no matter which model you pick up, SOMEONE is
going to do the radaical customization thing with it...
One other thing that I'd like to see is that all models have the option
of
cloth or leather. Personally, I don't much care for leather, so I'd
always
get cloth, but other people don't drive in both hot and cold weather, so
they might prefer leather...people should have this option regardless of
model selection...after all, that's why they call it "an option" right?
