So how do you know the dash rattles if the car is not even on the market yet? have you ride on the car before you make your ignorant conclusions?. Plastic interiors? do you recall how is the Evo interior is?
Two valve technology is OK, as long as the valves are big they do the job of 4 small ones or 5 small ones. My LS7 engine pulls in 6th gear at 650rpm without issues. Look at the fastest production car with the fastest Nurburgring times, are the two valve pushrods? YES, ZR1 and Viper ACR. Where are the Ferraris with 5 valve per cylinder and all that BS? Exactly!
Do you recall that comparo with the Porsche Turbo, the GTR, the Z06 and the Viper? Guess who won by far? it had a two valve pushrod engine buddy!
I like to read some of the replies, it truly shows the level of knowledge many people are willing to display, they hate the car before they even had a chance to sit, touch, feel the materials first hand. When is this crap going to stop?, when are the people goping to actually use the brain to make a decently intelligent comments? As fars as I know I could sit here and always say that Mitsubishi built POS cars and that the interiors are crap and all that but in reality I couldn't just do that without doing some real assement(reading reports, driving the car, watching videos, going to see the cars at the dealers and seen it first hand).
It seems like it doesn't matter if the car is sucessful or not, just because you are willing to say that GM makes crap cars that is all you care about. Look, for a long time we all know americans cars were built cheap but there are exceptions, some cars are actually very well built like the new Cadillacs, you just can't turn your head to it. Be more flexible, take a saturday morning and go and actually visit dealers like I do, I sit on cars, snap pictures and once in a while I test drive cars.

What a bunch of junk.... Seriously.
I hope you like it though and torque is cool, I mean every garbage truck on the road has a sweet detroit v-8 in it
Enjoy the camaro it comes with a digital 8 track player which all retro sackriders should not be with out.

That does not mean I like what they make.It is still an ugly car that has sucked since 1967 or whenever they were released
Now the vette on the otherhand is a nicer car by FAR and although it is not 30k it shows that they don't have to make crap all the time.
The c6 corvette and the new gto were the 2 most well put togther cars in quite some time.

I was actually watching some videos on Youtube of the SRT-8 challenger that ran a mediocre 13.8@103 and 0-60 in 5.5 sec. That is not fast in my book, this car had the 6.1l Hemi and rear limited slip and while it weights almost two tons(a little bit more than the Camaro) the Camarao instead blow its doors.
I think the Dodge Challenger SRT-8 looks nicer than the Camaro but then it cost much more also and is not as quick. Apparently they might even bring a SRT-10 motor to it.

Yes it is, very good.
Some of these comments remind me of the responses I got on the Subaru forums when I announced my intention to buy an Evo VIII a few years ago. "it's a mitsu", "you may not have a warranty in the near future"(right after mitsu's bailout), other miscellaneous comments regarding a shoddy history of build quality and how I should expect to spend a significant amount of time working on my own car, and other blah blah, my car is the betterest car evar comments.
Surprisingly, it was a pretty good car that was fun to drive and I'm certainly glad I didn't listen to experts of the internets and skip it solely because it was a Mitsubishi. . I'd have missed out on a great car.
