    I need one to park next to my Camery.

    Somewhat--

    Then again, my hair is a less-faux hawky version of this and I'm neither a soccer fan nor a Camaro fan.

    Lost in translation... 2 countries separated by a common language ? Jay-Zeus you bunch of wankers ! It's a Chevrolet Camaro (bunch of inbred, tea sipping, crumpet eating, poster children for poor oral hygiene)

    someone should correct them on the part about him liking cars that are "made in the USA".. his "Camero" was built in Canada on a chassis designed in Australia..

    and who wants to bet that the flat black paint is just a vinyl wrap?

    Craigslist much? Half the advertisers there call them Cameros when they own an actual example that they see every day!

    Yeah--I'll never understand the "Camero" thing. I guess it's like hwo "bumper" is spelled "bumber" all over the web.

    You'd think the most popular musclecar on the planet would rarely get its name missspelled.

    if you want to find a good deal on a Camaro, just use "Camero" as your search word on ebay or Craigslist. the people that misspell it aren't generally the smartest people, and it won't pop up in a search with "Camaro" spelled properly.

    It's really hard to misspell Mustang.

    All I know is that thing looks sweet in matte with black wheels.

    I was so disappointed when I finally got to drive one. They are a sexy, sexy, bloated pig of a car with arrow slits for windows. I bet a Laguna Seca 302 Boss would look pretty berkeleying sexy in matte too... ... ...

    Personally. I would prefer a Mustang.

    is this the wrong time to point out that neither the Camaro or the Mustang fits the proper definition of a "muscle car"? they are pony cars..

    Yeah, but holy E36 M3, what kind of a pony is the new Camaro? It's huge, more like a full-size horse. I drove the SS, liked it other than the abysmal visibility.

    It's a Clydesdale.

    There was an ad for a 2010 Camero from one of the bigger used car dealerships in the paper today. I asked my wife how she'd spell Camaro and she spelled out c-a-m-e-r-o. This is a girl who had one parked in her driveway for a year before it got taken apart for the MG project. Really, that's how it's pronounced when you think about it.

    it's not pronounced with an "e" sound unless you talk with a funny accent. ca-meh-ro ca-mar-o

    and they really aren't all that big- i parked my 97 Cavalier next to one at a dealership and other than the hoodline being kind of tall, it wasn't much bigger. the new mustangs look just as porky and the windows are actually just about as short and useless, but the Camaro has a longer window opening so it has a more "chopped" look to it.

    Well, everyone in Ontario and Colorado talks with a funny accent then Ca-me-ro it is.
