A least something is selling for GM --Ed.
"Excitement" is not a word people have associated with General Motors cars in recent years. But the company now has a new model that's actually generating some buzz — the redesigned Camaro.
The sleek, two-door coupe looks like a cross between a '60s muscle car and a spaceship. And even in a terrible economy, dealers have sold more than 15,000 in its first several months on the market.
Living Out Childhood Dreams
Some of Greg Smith's fondest memories were in a Camaro. He recalls being 13 years old, with his friend's older brother at the wheel, barreling across the desert outside Tucson at 100 miles per hour.
"There was nothing like leaving your seat when you go over a little rise. Even though you have your seat belt on, you still get a little air," Smith says. "You kind of feel like you're in another world."
Buying a Camaro was never practical, but Smith, who is now 53 and designs commercial signs for a living, couldn't resist; he ordered a Camaro in February and picked it up last week in Maryland.
