Everything about favorite cars

Think your morning rush-hour commute sucks? Consider the New York Times' description of someone learning to drive in New Delhi:
Amid a cacophony of horns, a blood-red sport utility vehicle weaved between cars, passing Mr. Sharma within a razor's edge on the right. A school bus snuggled close up on his left. No one seemed to care about traffic lanes. Cars bounced in and out of crater-size potholes… Sharing the road with him were a bicyclist with three cooking-gas cylinders strapped to the back of his bike, a pushcart vendor plying guavas, a cycle rickshaw loaded with a photocopy machine (rickshaws often being the preferred mode of delivery for modern appliances)… At one point, a car careered down the wrong side of the road… At least this morning there was no elephant chewing bamboo in the fast lane, as there sometimes is.
As ultra-cheap vehicles allow more and more Indians– many of whom have never driven a car– to take to the road, traffic experts expect the situation to get much worse. And with a driving test that consists of turning on the ignition and driving in a wide circle, you gotta believe they're right.

Chevrolet has tempted enthusiasts with yet another image of the undisguised pre-production 2009 Camaro Coupe, more than likely captured testing right here in Australia.
In one sense, these images serve only to build hype for the Camaro prior to its release later this year. However accompanying this latest release are GM’s doubts surrounding various design features such as the headlamps, indicating they may be more interested in consumer feedback to ensure the Camaro is the best it can be.
“The new Camaro is quickly evolving into final form, but some of the details you see here (such as the headlamp design) may change before production begins this year.” Alicia Dorset, GM FastLane blog editor.
What are your current thoughts on how the current rendition of the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe is progressing?
