Meeh. It is completely computer dependent, and programed by the clowns at Government Motors. I'd take one if they were free, I could probably find a person that would trade it for their 70 series government model 1911. . . . . Maybe.
The new Camaro is okay, in itself. I do wish they'd have taken the example of Ford and Dodge and done a repop of the old classic. Just another pretty car.......
Ford is the only one who stood on their own. Edit: I've owned GM or Dodge for years so that was painful.
