I saw a preproduction 2010 base Camaro at the Detroit airport on Monday. It was on display in the GM store. It was very plain with no stripes or anything. It had silver paint and a two tone gray interior. What struck me about it is that it looked terrific. It had the 300 hp V6 and a 6 speed manual. The body lines were a little busier than the original, but pleasing anyway. It was trimmed out well with chrome and black accents and nice touches in all the right places. The hood looks like a cheesy aftermarket cowl induction hood, which was a little surprising on a base car. I think they did just as good of a styling job as Ford did with the current Mustang, and as Chrysler did with the Challenger. It's a great time to buy a pony car.

By the way. I got a letter from Saturn last week. They claim that they will be spun off from GM and will market other manufacturers cars under the Saturn Brand. My wife drives an Outlook so we're on their mailing list.
