Wouldn't it have been smart to do a short run of 2009 MY vehicles--this would make them more exclusive and highly desirable--and then shift over to 2010?
If I've read correctly, that's what the new New Chrysler is doing with the Challenger.
Once again, it seems like GM shoots itself in the foot. Just when it seems like they've got their sh*t together, they do something really dumb.

I agree. It seems unlikely that they will be able to hold up the hype they've built up for this car much longer. I mean it seems to me that initially, a lot of people were pretty psyched about the new Camaro, but postponing it until 2010? Seems like a bad move to me.

If GM knew what was really good for them, they would pull a surprise release way ahead of our expectations. Im still thinking they just might pull a fast one on us.

Actually, it is very expensive from a Marketing perspective to generate consumer-focused print media (which already experiences a limited lifespan) for something that is generally considered a huge launch (Camaro), to turn around and have to update that print media for the following model year in just a few months. Same with service manual information, et al.
I would rather see GM do their cost-cutting in ways that do not impact the product or consumer. If they can save a few bucks in marketing by offering a 2010 model for 1.5 yrs, I'm all for it.
