    Mark Your Calendars: Sixth-Generation Camaro to Debut on May 16th

      There's a party happening for the Sixth-Generation Camaro

    Chevrolet is planning something big for the debut of the sixth-generation Camaro. The brand announced this morning what can be described as a jamboree or a big party. They are inviting 1,000 Camaro owners to a day-long celebration on Belle Isle Park in Detroit on May 16th where the brand will show off the new Camaro. But that isn't all Chevrolet has planned for the day.

    • A “Camaro Museum” display of the most significant vehicles from the brand’s history
    • Hot-lap rides in the 2015 Camaro Z/28 around the Belle Isle Grand Prix course
    • Meet-and-greet opportunities with Camaro designers and engineers.
    • Camaro-only parking for owners

    “This will be an event Camaro fans will not want to miss. This is only the sixth time we have introduced an all-new Camaro. We wanted to share the moment with the customers and fans who have helped make Camaro both America’s favorite performance car for the past five years, and a cultural icon since 1967,” said Todd Christensen, Camaro marketing manager.

    Now if you own a Camaro and want a chance to be at the unveiling, you can register at thecamarosix.com.

    I am going to make a bold prediction.  The L83 EcoTec3 5.3 L V8 will be used in some fashion with 400+ horsepower as the engine for the SS model.  That would leave the LT1/LT4 available for limited edition ZL1/Z28 models and the 5.3L will keep the power and mileage up for everyone else.  Also, since this will be built on the same platform as the ATS, there needs to be some different "flavor" for the Camaro for people to taste.  Otherwise, the Caddy and the Camaro are indistinguishable for consumers.

    Yes and no.

     

    Cadillac is making every effort to distinguish itself from the rest of GM.  New headquarters, new marketing, new racing, etc.  But it is still part of GM production whether they like it or not.  If there is too much similarity with options and drivetrain among the cars, then there will be an identity crisis.  I am sure that there are plenty of nay-saying critics that are ready to dust-off the 30+ year old retort about the Cimarron and the Cavalier being the same car.  I am tired of people cashing in on that chip for the sake thereof.

     

    The ATS coupe needs to be just better than the Camaro.  The ATS-V with the Turbo v6 at 450 hp will have to be more than your garden variety Camaro V8 model.  A 5.3L v8 with 410-420 hp will do just fine for performance with a lighter platform and better fuel economy.  The Camaro will only borrow Corvette engines for the limited edition Camaro models so as not to cannibalize Corvette sales.

     

    The ATS and Camaro will both have 4 cylinder engines because that is the way of government fuel economy standards.

     

    In many ways, the 5.3L V8 is the 21st century version of the classic 327 V8 in displacement and performance.  Putting it in a production car as opposed to a heavy full-size pick-up will make this thing the best bang for one's buck.

     

    That will keep the Camaro in line with the "old school" buyer for the muscle car while the tarted-up Turbo V6 will cater to the upscale crowd that Cadillac wants.

    Even if the Camaro and the Caddy are the same cur underneath, Buyers will be taken to the Camaro for its heritage and muscle car looks while the Cadillac will reel people in with its faux-aurora of luxury and comfort. Either way, I think that the new Camaro will be a sick car and hopefully lives up to its hype.

      Argh.  This is a question I almost want to avoid. The A380 is incredible.  Yes, I had a roundtrip through AA on British.  They have a small economy section at the back, upstairs.  Then I flew a one way from Italy to New York-JFK on an Emirates "fifth freedom" flight segment.  They have economy taking the entire main level, with none upstairs. Economy seats are a little wider on the A380 ... definitely on Emirates, at least.  It was an outstanding flight because of that.  On British, I paid for an economy seat upstairs and the curvature of the exterior translates into windows that are too sloped and with an odd and bigger void in between the cabin and the exterior.  I will be sitting downstairs if there is a future flight on one. The 747-8 isn't as comfortable in economy because the seats are traditional economy width.  I feel more comfortable in one because I know it.  It's also much more photogenic all the way around.  You feel good when it pulls up to the gate and you see that beautiful and proportioned machine through the big glass windows. The humidification is good on both planes. It's really sad that no more passenger quadjets are being produced.  It's easier to get onto an A380 if Europe bound (British, Lufthansa, Emirates, and others via connections, with Air France holding back).  For a 747-8, Lufthansa is the only choice and I am grateful to them for that.

      My car has a supposed 525 mile highway crusing range on a full tank (19.5 gallons).   I haven't fully tested that since I tend to fill up at 1/2 tank when on road trips..but I have recorded averages of 29.5 and 30 mpg on road trips, which is pretty good for a comfortable 4200lb AWD sedan..

      @trinacriabob in your flying in recent years, have you had a trip on an A380?    If so, how does it compare to the larger Boeings?

      Right.  It's not the aircraft themselves, but the haste and sloppiness.  ("Haste makes waste.")  This 777 X is ambitious and the folding wingtips are novel.  They will be very late with delivering this plane.  I now like some Boeing and some Airbus.  It's a mix.  In the recent past, I took a ride on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner and I definitely like it more than the Airbus 350 (even though the Airbus 350 has that photogenic curved winglets).  The cabin fatigue from flying is much reduced on the Dreamliner. Yesterday, I was on two domestic Boeing 737 Max 8 segments back to back on Southwest.  I like its newer features - ambient lighting, larger bins, a little quieter.  So, if it's working, it's a very nice rendition of the 737.  It's too bad that their newest version of this storied workhorse had to be tainted.  I get on and sigh.  If it keeps a clean track record going forward, people may be less weirded out as the statistics may become better. It is.  However, I'm not a fan of the leg design, which is also now popular on sofas.  The biggest turnoff for me in sofas - when I bought a sleeper for another room with the last stimulus money - was the amount of product that had nailheads all over the place.
