I dont know about you guys, but these cars are getting a little expensive, still worth the money, but $50k CDN (without taxes) is what I would be considering to spend, either dodge, ford or gm.

Straight from Yahoo's page:

Slated to bow in the first quarter of 2009 as an early 2010 model, it's expected that the Camaro will be offered in three trim levels — LS, LT and SS. The base LS may be powered by Chevy's 3.5-liter pushrod V-6 making about 220 bhp. The LT models would use the overhead-cam direct-injected 3.6-liter V-6 developing upward of 300 bhp, while the SS will be powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 V-8 (similar to that found in the Corvette) tuned to produce around 400–405 bhp. A year after launch, Chevy will introduce a convertible version and after that a high-performance Z28 model with a super-charged 6.2-liter sibling to the Corvette ZR1's LS9 motor known as the LSA. That engine would make somewhere in the neighborhood of 480–500 bhp and is similar to the engine used in the upcoming Cadillac CTS-V.

In light of increasing gas prices, a crash program has been initiated to study the feasibility of offering the 260-bhp turbocharged 2.0-liter four (used in the HHR SS and Cobalt SS) as a possible base engine to replace the 3.5-liter V-6. However, that engine may not be offered until the 2011–2012 model year.

The Camaro will offer a choice of 6-speed automatic or manual transmissions. While both have beefy gearchange levers with baseball-size shift knobs, in the automatic-equipped car we didn't see any provision for a sequential-shift mode on either the shift gate or on the steering wheel or column.

Slated to go up against the Dodge Challenger and Ford Mustang, the Camaro offers a fully independent suspension (like the Dodge) compared with the Ford's live rear axle. Despite the added cost of the independent rear, Chevy is looking to keep base prices in the $20,000–$30,000 bracket, while the SS model could be in the mid- to upper- $30,000 range.

I highlighted a couple of key words.

I was at our local dodge dealer dropping off a Gov. truck recently and I asked the sales manager and he said that they were going to be starting at 45k for the SRT-8 version, that's w/ the mark up of couse. Still, fuk that noise.....you could a new C6 vette for that much or even less here by me.

[05BLKSTANG]

As I was reading on this thread I also picked up the "coulds, expected, maybes" that 97talon bolded.
I can't see the Camaro V8 being much cheaper than the Challenger. Both cars are being reserected, (ok using existing platforms) will come with the same hardware, wheel size, trans, indep rear axle ect...
This over MSRP sh"t pisses me off, but things should calm down in 2010, when everyones represented and their products have been out for over a year.
