Even the dealer's a complete idiot.

Hover over the "Sports Cars" menu and you'll see why.

Re: Even the dealer's a complete idiot.

Good grief.

Makes me want to punt small animals or children every time I see it spelled that way. I can't believe that made it onto the site.

Re: Even the dealer's a complete idiot.

Embarrassing... especially when I work at a GM Dealership.

I can see it happening on craigslist (I admit I search for Camero, just as much as Camaro). But to see this on a dealer site... just... wow.

Re: Even the dealer's a complete idiot.

I say lets all write a letter or email and let them know. I don't have a clue who is the advertiser and web site programmer. I bet Chevy does not even know. If we all email them and let them know how bad it looks to see that on their website. I bet someone will get fired!!! lol

Re: Even the dealer's a complete idiot.

Not 20 minutes after posting in this thread, I received a text from a friend that asked if he could come by and look at my "Camero's".

Re: Even the dealer's a complete idiot.

You can usually find cheap ones on Craigslist under "Camero", they sit for sale for weeks wondering why nobody has come and looked at them, because 90% of people looking for one know how it's spelled. They drop the price thinking they were too high. Haha

Re: Even the dealer's a complete idiot.

My fiance says he should get some custom badges done that say "Camero" and put them on Ebay; market them as rare "special edition" badges. Lol!

He just about died when I showed him that dealership's website. Whenever we look for Camaros on Craigslist, we always check both the correct and incorrect spellings. Neither of us understands how you can't spell the name of your car when all you have to do is look at it....

Lol, yes I think so too. I wonder how much to charge for a set? We can even do "special custom" colors to match your body color: red, black, white, blue, yellow, silver. Heck, we could even give the badges racing stripes running through the center! It would make your car go super fast! Lol, and people would probably buy them too. Oooh, and a super ultra rare Camero badge: the IROC-ZZZ! Originally came off a super rare 1 of 4 ever made Camero IROC-Z that was made waaaayyy faster than the rest of the factory IROC's. The IROC-ZZZ badge goes with the "Camero" badge with the racing stripes on it. Lol.

Oh god, I could take this hilarious concept and run for miles with it..... haha.

Re: Even the dealer's a complete idiot.

Good old Suburban Chevrolet. They are a bunch of idiots over there. I have tried dealing with them twice and both times I was overly disappointed. The sad thing is they missed out on sales. I was ready to buy with cash in hand. Oh well, plenty of other places in Minneapolis.

Re: Even the dealer's a complete idiot.

i found i really nice black iroc on my local classifid ads called bisman.com,it was spelled camero and the price was 2000 it was on there over two months, so i emailed they guy and told him how to spell it than he sent me a 100 dollar bill and sold it for 3500. if only the guy that bought had seen the original ad he could have saved 1500,although it was worth every penny. kinda off topic but i had to say it.
