Camaro Fever

GM�s hot new concept car.

extended warranties GM has had its share of bad luck recently. So I guess the company is glad to have some good news, even if it comes in the form of a minor controversy.

In January the auto maker unveiled its new Camaro concept car. The buzz about it has been growing since then. It’s grown so much that people are willing to put down cash deposits on the car. Keep in mind, that it is still a concept car, and GM has not confirmed that it will produce the car.

There has been unsolicited deposits offered, but the controversy surrounds a dealership in Dearborn Michigan which has advertised the coming of the new Camaro and offered to take deposits.

Les Stanford Chevrolet in Dearborn has solicited deposits from enthusiasts who want to order the Camaro. In the May edition of the national car-enthusiast magazine duPont Registry, Stanford published an ad that says “the new Camaro is coming,” advising readers to “reserve yours today.”


The dealership took five deposits of about $1,000 each after placing the ad, owner Paul Stanford said.

However, there seems to be no real intent to scam anyone here. It’s just a case of people getting excited over the car. The Dearborn ads will be modified and any mention of the Camaro will be removed.

There has been similar excitement about concept cars in the past as well. In 1989, Chrysler received unsolicited deposits for the Dodge Viper.
