2007 NAIAS Detroit - MEGAMIX - Press Preview - Camaro & More

This is exclusive PRESS PREVIEW video footage of the 2007 NAIAS in Detroit, Michigan. Shot on January 9, 2007 during the press preview day, viewers will get a broad overview of the displays, and some stunning looks at what's in store for drivers in North America. Check out Chevy's new CAMARO, the new SmartCar, and the ultra-sleek new Mercedes... In addition, several views of concept cars from Ford, Honda, Chrysler, Chevy and Kia. Unfortunately, Pontiac's display wasn't ready for the press show, and due to it being under construction, the Saturn display was blocked off...otherwise we would have extensively covered their new offerings.

Globally famous chanteuse, Claudette LuBerge, brings the footage together with her frantic dancing. The music track is Chic's "Jack Le Freak". Video footage and stills taken by Ron Flaviano. It was evident that the American auto manufacturers are trying to reinvent themselves. Is it possible? That's a definite...

Watch for exclusive interviews with several of the concept cars designers with Mark Peyko of the Metro Monthly.

Le freak, c'est chic...

Hey can you double check the name of this track...I'm about 99.9% sure whats playing is not Chic - Jack le Freak. I like this song though, just trying to figure out what it is.

Lithium is the next target on GM's EV assassination list.

You're right! The Mustang was a revolutionary world design. A small family car that was fun to drive. Modest power, good economy, comfortable for a young family, fantastic idea. Maybe GM does sit back and watch for a successful market entry. The Jap cars did it with minivans. Still, GM made the Vette before the T-bird, no? Like you, I like 'em all. Love the Ford suspensions, solid bodies; GM's tend to have feistier engines for a given mileage, and nicer curves to my eye. It's all good.

And if the moon were made of cheese, we could all have pizza! C'mon kids, quit trying to run the scapegoat car company, and start your own.

Actually I do have great respect for most cars from the Muscle Car era. It's just Camaro owners have such a high and mighty attitude about their cars not realizing that if the Mustang wasn't created, we'd probably never have a Camaro, or any other 'pony' cars. Ford created a market that ALLOWED cars like the Camaro to thrive.

Wow, you really think I don't know the answer to your little question. The first Mustang was released to the public, major production, in 1964. Though it was about halfway through the year so it is considered 1964 1/2. The Camaro was released until 1966 and has been stated by GM that it was in response to the MUSTANG. Funny how they follow Ford AGAIN 40 years later!

If GM's only source of income were from electric hybrids like the Chevy Volt, they'd be making millions of them. "Stop buying or leasing NEW gasoline powered cars". See my vids.

Nice to see the video. Wish some of the people looking at it had finished high school. Respect the Mustang. Respect the Camaro. Both great cars. I'm an old guy driving a fantastically engineered Buick Riviera. So, GM can also make great cars. Let's buy the GM and Ford out of both of these "fun cars"! They're way less spendy than my other little car, the ruby red C5.

Chevrolet is the last quality company in America and the Camaro a REAL car. Ford Sucks.

yo if u no so much bout the mustang tell me the first year the mustang came out. Because everyone knows the Camaro can out run a mustang anyday. Dont even fight it because you know its true. However, I do agree that the new camaro is alot like or a copie of the newer models of the Ford mustang
