Camaro has a history for being a muscle car. Lots of power yet durable and fun to drive. Back in the day the muscle cars had a rep for having poor handling but with modern technology Chevy has taken car of that issue. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |

Always bought and owned GM vehicles. Have been dis-satisfied with other makes in the past. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |

The car and the company have come a long way, and the people that build it also take pride in what they are building. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |

There it is...the "Camaro Image." Years of Z-28's and IROC's have completely set the expectation (and not totally inaccurately, either) that Camaro's are driven by mullet-sporting, trucker-hat wearing, Lynyrd Skynyrd-rocking rednecks. Doesn't matter that Chevy now offers a machine that can out-corner a Ferrari 458 and out-lap...well, pretty much anything. It's still a redneck racecar. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |

It is July 2013 and I bought my car last month. It is the first Ford I have owned since 1982, when I traded in a '69 Galaxy for a '79 Horizon. Wish I still had the Galaxy! I grew up in a Ford family, had my diver's license since 1974 and driven a bunch of different cars but had primarily been a GM for the last 20 years. They're still doing nice stuff and I've driven some of it but this Ford stole my heart and I'm glad to be back in the fold. Both Ford and GM have had their political and social miscues the last few years but I think Ford's product speaks for itself and I'm glad I own one. see full Ford Taurus review |

I get it. This is an "old people's car" in the common mindset. see full Ford Taurus review |
