A car that big and still the back seats appear worthless - the driver was no taller than I and the seat was all the way back to the back seat. I don't think I could squeeze my kids (5&8) back there in a pinch. Now I know why the 20s & 21s don't look out of proportion like they do (IMO) on older cars. The car is bigger. Challenger bigger.

I like the car, but it's not what I'd call a Camaro. They should have called it Chevelle. I don't think I can buy one now. I may change my mind, but that is what I think right now. I hope they save the G8 as a Chevy or Buick.

I really wanted to love this car. I really wanted it to be a home run. I've been excited to see one in person in the real world, not all by itself with no cars around it. A bit of a let down.

I can't wait to part one out.
I hope they drop the Chevelle name on the G8 and keep selling it. I'm going to need a new ride in a few short years.
