There really needs to be another way to make a car such as this available to purchase.

As a dealer who paid money to get at least one unit for the first two years, only to find out.....

Is this your guess? Or do you have a source?

I thought the Nav was part of the tech package and not stand alone.

I don't really see what the big deal is. Most people weren't even expecting a 15 model and were looking toward a '16 anyways. I don't think the '16 production timeline will change too drastically with the introduction of the '15 models.

Well if that dealer is right then...
With a base of $53k (estimated) and $8000 for tech plus nav; I'm looking at a $60k car.

On the other hand...

The 2016 Camaro with 435-450 hp, magride suspension, dual tone exhaust, weight around or below the GT and the price between $35 -$45k depending on options. I just may start looking at Chevy.

Well for dealers if they get a 2015 does that mean they used up one of their 2 years buying into the program?

For buyers, it means more shanagans from dealers who happen to get one of these cars.

1) Can't imagine the base will be that high considering the option pricing.
2) Good luck on the "base" camaro coming in at GT weight.

Ford v Chevy, just get me the most car for the money

But it's already been announced that the next Camaro will loose 200 lbs. due to heavy use of Aluminium. That puts it on par weight wise with the mustang lineup.

Things can change and I'd like to see an actual production car with real numbers, but I am still waiting on final numbers for the GT350 too.

 

[ON D BIT]

I thought the ss was 3850 lbs which is 150lbs more than the mustang gt. plus you can't see out of the gm plus it's gm. I don't see how you can compare the two. We still have not seen any performance numbers.

7500 for and it does not include nav?

 

[csc427]

Not sure that those two particular cars would be cross-shopped. I can't imagine the performance level would be anywhere close to each other. The camaro at that price point would compete with a gt mustang, not a top tier gt350. We've already seen what camaro's top tier car costs, and it's not close to 45k. It's not definite that the next camaro will be a better bargain than the gt mustang, let alone the gt350.

The next one is a redesign on a new platform and is said to loose 200 lbs. across all trims. That puts the SS around the same weight as the mustang GT.

GM addresses it's biggest problem, weight. I would hope GM addresses it's second biggest problem of visibility. Won't known until it available to drive.

You would be surprised what people cross shop.

I have a personal limit of around $55k on my next car. The Gt350 may just have blown that. Can I afford $60k sure, but I'm not going to send it on one car.

So what else is out there under $55k?
corvette too much and only 2 seats
Z only 2 seats (had one loved it)
M4 too much
4 series very pricey compared to the pony cars
Challenger too heavy
Camaro wait until 2016 model


So, because of the lack of compatible cars in this range (without going used). I would compare a GT350 to the upcoming 2016 camaro for a car in my driveway. (Not on the track; Im pretty sure the GT350 wins that comparo)

Who would buy a Camaro with loose and heavy chunks of aluminum or trim floating about. If that happened to me I would lose it!

So you think the aluminum is a bad idea?
