I'm trying to give Chevy the benefit of the doubt on this one despite whatever shortcomings the previous generations might have offered.

This will be an entirely different car, sharing only the name (and engine, I'm assuming)... so I doubt you'll have much to worry about. The LS engine is nearly bulletproof and GM's RWD trannies are generally pretty robust as well. Build quality, cheap materials and dated design/technology were the Fbody's biggest faults. Looks like they've corrected all of that in the new Camaro. Of course, as was said before... GM is all bark and no bite. I'll hold final judgement until I see the production version in a couple of years.
