We had a 6 speed in 93 among other advancements and have improved progressively since the fourth gen came out. Even without an fbody platform GM was still progressing to what we will have in March.

The Ford guys have no real progression except a flash in the pan with a slightly altered bodyline. The same sheep are going to buy this car when their lease or jollies run out on their current pony. Take the horsy off the grill and give it some regular looking wheels and it can be passed off as an econo-cruiser easily.

The camaro and firebird even in their most basic form have looked unique going down the road. Thats what ultimately did them in in 2002. It drifted too far away that only enthusiasts had one not the sheep. The 4th gen was good for us and bad for their marketshare. Now their changing the mentality by giving us a great car for the money to appeal to everyone-but its a little late.
Things will be interesting over the next few years relating to these two cars.
