Quick Spin: 2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible
« Reply #60 on: October 22, 2014, 01:33:05 am »

This year is a lame duck model with the new one out next year.

If its the concept that Bumblebee is based on in the TF4 then its horrible. The concept and the movie. If they based the next gen Camaro off of the black retro Camaro in the movie, now we're talking. If you haven't seen the movie and don't know what I'm talking about just google it. Don't see the movie. It's so painful.

And while I'm on a rant Bumblebee should never have been a Camaro. If GM wanted it as the hero car then fine, another character would've been the better choice.

And what's with Drift being a Veryon? They mold him as a samurai, fine. But he's he only autobot in the stinking series that's not a GM and do they choose a proper Japanese car for him, like a GT-R or even a lowly 370Z? - no they choose an exotic German car. In blue. What?  >:(

Correction: Bugatti is French, mom ami.

In Tim Cain's defence, he does a massive service to those of us interested in sales numbers. Instead of being like many other services out there providing a central place for sales analysis, Tim provides it for free on GCBC. Also, like many others have said, he slices the pie many different ways based on feedback from readers.

I think that's pretty rad.

Save your breath. The usual suspects here always know better than anyone else.
Since October 2015 the Junior PM has been in office.  Record mega-Billion deficits as he p*sses away our future.  An economy gutted. Stinky POTHEADS rejoice. We are going down the drain.

Bien Sur! Mais c'est vraiment aussi:

"In 1998, Volkswagen AG decided to revive the legendary Bugatti automobile brand, purchasing all trademark rights, and the next year Bugatti Automobile S.A.S. was founded in Molsheim, Alsace, as a Volkswagen France subsidiary.

"In 2001, Volkswagen decided to start serial production of the super-sportscar Veyron, whose official name was “Veyron 16.4”.

Regardless - a samurai character whose alter form is a euro car... :'(

That's like having Megatron transform in to a pen or a flower! I've lost everyone here haven't I...?

i'm with you still!


and i even agree! gt-r would have been the right car for a modern interpretation i say... but understandable that they didn't do that.

those movies are all explosion porn anyway... i've stopped trying to look at plot or characters... BOOM, BAM, cleavage, SMASH!
i used to be addicted to soap, but i'm clean now
