Camaro info?

I was reading the paper on friday and saw an article on the new Camaro coming out. I dunno wether to believe this or not, or if anyone already knew this, but I thought Id share anyway.

GM reportedly plans to offer a price leader Camaro with V-6 and perhaps a mid-level V-8 version as well as a high-performance Z-28 model that packs 500 horsepower
And I found this funny..

GM sources said there are no immediate plans for a return of Camaro's sister car, the Pontiac Firebird

Wouldnt you say brother? I wouldnt consider the firebird a chick car, but thats just me. I thought it was interesting word choice for a muscle car.

boats are cars are usually refered to as females. Also, they use the term for cities like La Crosses sister city is somewhere in germany or something.

Guys mostly refer to their cars as girls. Doesn't really matter what type of car. It's one of those "guy things" I guess.

The "sister" thing is just generally how all those things are referred to, like Adric said. And that line is the reason all the new talk just doesn't interest me that much.

well i used to call my cars girls...like my red one was carmen. but when i got my v8 my girl asked me what she was named...i said, its got too much muscle to be a she.

and about bringing back the firebird...since theyre cancelling the GTO i believe they'll bring the bird back in its place.

yea planes, boats, cars and pretty much any machine that people get attatched to have almost always been referred to as female, but i hope they bring the bird back just cause it would be a waste just to let it die out after all these years even though the GTO kinda did crapy when they brought it out i think a trans am or firebird would do much better
