as far as the release date, it was my understanding that they would have been able to celebrate, through marketing, of course, the fact that it was the 40th anniversary of the first gen. if they wait until 2010, then it's 40 years after the '70 1/2 model, which pretty much took a dump when first introduced. i'd rather not see that happen to the new camaro.

the tie-ins to the first gen are obvious. for them to wait one more year just to get the workers more comfortable with their environment, i say get them started NOW. i just can't see them releasing it in 2010 and missing the opportunity for a 40th anniversary of the first gen, since the car has the obvious styling cues of the first gen. they could even have a special vehicle for celebratory purposes - not unlike the 30th anniversary car.

dunno, i guess it's just me. yes, i want the car. yes, i want it yesterday. but my patience level has nothing to do with the potential marketing opportunities.

production starts in 355 days
