You can find plenty of info on the Camaro, in the Off Brand News, Concepts & Rumors forum here at DF...

I know I'm planning on being debt free when these become available. 18 months is perfect! And I've already told the dealer I'm first in line!
If they come out just like the concept there will be bidding wars over them and the ones willing to pay the most over the sticker price will be first to get them. It will more than likely be a couple years before you'll be able to even get close to one for anywhere near sticker price.

I don't think you're correct on this one. Not all the dealers are looking to f#*k over a customer even on new models. The local Dodge dealer here was selling Magnums and Chargers at sticker even when they first hit the lots. Right now he's got new Daytona Ram 4X4's at $24,990! I've bought 2 new vehicles from him in the last 3 years. Do you think he'll risk future business with me for a one time f#*k over!

In reply to Deranged's post he is correct. We at my dealership have never charged over sticker and never will. That is defeating the purpose. Granted you probably will pay close to sticker on the hottest ones but not over. At least here where I sell cars.

I know that it happens around here and the more in demand and more limited the supply, the higher the prices climb. It has happened with Viper and every new version of it as well as the SRT-10 Ram. Even though the Challenger would be a far more normal production model, or so they say, and as if it isn't already more than apparent that the demand is quite high, I see more price hiking or favoritism to those willing to pay extra. This would of course only last so long, probably just the first six months or so, but I see it happening only if it comes out just like the concept. The Magnum and Charger aren't even close to the Challengers demand, but the '99 Charger R/T concept was and they completely destroyed it which is what I'm hoping doesn't happen to the Challenger.

Im happy to hear that your getting good deals. Buying a new car is sooooo hit and miss. We need to have a list on this forum by state of dealers that members got great deals from. Im here to tell you some dealers will be tacking on huge prices on this car. I myself will wait till the 2nd year of production and let them get any bugs out. Plus Id want to see the rag top. Dodge will have a heavy profit line the year this car goes up for sale. I often wondered why they didnt do things like this before. Alot of people who had one when they were younger will be lining up. How sweet would it be if you bought one as a kid and kept it. Then going out and buying the new one and putting them both in your garage. Man I'd love that.
