If You Put This Out At Say 24,000-25,000 You Would'nt Be Able To Build Them Fast Enough For The Demand, But Hey Then You Could Pay Us Back For The Bail Out. What An Idea!

I agree- it is much more attractive than the coupe. Granted, there is probably zero trunk space, maybe they got smart and opted to make the rear seats foldable for a flat storage space. Pretty much any drop top that isnt a retractable is gonna have lousy visibility. Although 30k is quite a jump from the coupe, your only other options for a convertible under 35k that I can think of are the Mustang, Mini, Mx5 (Miata) a Sebring and a Jeep Wrangler. Which would you rather drive?

The view out of the hardtop is pretty bad as it is (gun slit window). With the top up, this will probably be like driving with horse blinders on. The only time that isn't a problem is when you are going faster than everybody else.

It's a 300 HP convertable for only 30K, which compared to anything else on the market, besides the Mustang of course, is a pretty good deal. I do agree that it looks like they forgot to incorporate the XM/Siri antenna in the guild and slapped it anywher expecting no one to notice.
I'm not a convertable fan, but this is pretty nice. If you want to stay in the 25K range , then get the base hard top.

It seems rather simple to make a car look good as a convertible, with the top down. The hard part is making it look good with the top up as well. I want to see how they managed in that department! I agree that $30k is pretty steep...the Mustang may get extra sales when cross-shopping the two.

$30,000 for a V6 Camaro?! So it would be logical to assume that the V8 convertible must start at around $40,000? Maybe I'm getting old or something, but these prices are blowing my mind. I've always thought of the Camaro as the inexpensive fun car for the blue collar working guy, but the price of all these muscle cars are beginning to put them out of reach of your average Joe.
The covertable does look good though. I would like to see some other angles of the car.

Is that the XM antenna on the trunklid? OMG, can't they come up with a better spot to put it? I hope it's an option.
