I had a Vietnam veteran pull up to me the other day on the road in his bike asking me why I bought a Japanese vehicle and then scolded me for not supporting America. I rolled up my window while laughing and turned a different direction. I'm sure that leather vest he was wearing was made in America... or that television he has in his home.

You have to understand, when it comes to the current world auto industry, the "buy American" argument only makes sense to those who can't understand the reality of the industry today or those who refuse to understand it.

Trying to engage in any sort of logical/factual argument with those of that mindset is a waste of time because their position is not based on logic or facts; it's based on emotion and a world-view of the domestic automotive industry that may have been accurate in the 1960's but hasn't been accurate for a three or four decades.

Did Nissan get a federal bailout and is it in danger of bankruptcy? I like the Camaro but right now GM just doesn't instill me with a feeling of consumer confidence.

.....whistles innocently
I'm surprised no one has posted up the new predicted NISMO numbers (0-60 4.5) and $37K guestimate price over there yet.

Very inmature bunch for the most part over there with a couple of morons who obviously don't know what they're talking about as they keep ragging about the 350Z like that's what the new Camaro is being compared to. Don't have a clue that the 370 is a different car.
Why should anybody care what somebody else likes or doesn't anyway? One of the ways that you can tell that you've grown up is... you recognise that debating with idiots is a waste of time.
I hope the new Camaro is a quality car. I'm a fan of the American hotrod and I like the nastalgia thing. As long as GM respects the American auto buyer by delivering a quality product, I'll be rooting for their success.

I hope the Camaro lives up to everyones expectation that buys one. I know my Z will live up to mine. In the end, thats all that matters.

At one point and time I felt the same way....camaro this, mustang that. Then I drove a 840 hp car manufactured in Japan............hah hah that was it. But, in the end, its what makes the buyer happy. I think I recall having the " OH yeah, well, my dads got a ..........." arguement when I was around 7 years old. Good thing Ive grown up now.

Not a government bailout, but they were in danger of bankruptcy and had to be bailed out by a Renault deal.

What I don't understand about these futile magazine racing comparisons is, why are they comparing a top end Camaro to an low end 370Z? Shouldn't they compare the Camaro SS to the Nismo Z??

Magazines compare cars to sell magazines; not necessarily because the vehicles compared make any real sense to anyone in the real world.
