All of these posts about the ZR1, new Camaro, and new Challenger have got me thinking. I am guessing I'm in the minority here. Even though I like all of the new models I just don't see them as something really unique or special. I don't really see myself as running out to buy one.

I guess the thing is that I know that they aren't really "exclusive" in that anybody with a good credit rating can go out and buy one. Same thing with some of the Italian and German cars. They don't really strike me as special because you don't need to do anything out of the ordinary to have one other than write a check. Usually I pass right by any of the new, relatively stock cars at a car show due to lack of interest.

Does anybody else feel like this?
kind of. i feel like the styling of those cars are right now. other cars are more timeless. it has me curious as to whether GM will be able to sell the camaros that are at the end of their model run; same for the challenger. the vette maybe not so much, but i feel like the maro and challenger, while great cars, are all hype. what happens when the hype dies?

on the other hand, i can barely distinguish the old g35 from the new one and they have no problem selling old ones or new ones. MB had a 6 month wait on the CLK the year they were planned for redesign.
