> The grill has to go, it should be flat black like the 69s. You need to decide if the car is pointy like the 2nd and 4th gens or boxy like the 1st and 3rd, I’m conflicted on it being both, but its growin on me. It seems a bit too boxy and big, but its actually 9 inches shorter with 8 inches more wheelbase. Not to mention that it may look smaller when you see it in relation to other people/cars. The ingress of the rear seats should improve wit those new dimensions, and the side windows will make the rear seats seem less like a dungeon. The hood is awesome, the greenhouse and rear fenders are tits, and the rear, leaves room for a redesign in a year :gtfo: . The interior, should never ever be made ever. Looks like Ill get shafted on getting ttops yet again. There needs to be a 1LE option, lots of HP, a T56, some blue paint, an oldschool grill, and I’ll need to see it in person.

The pics don’t do much for me. Maybe it will look better in the real world. If they put the right motor in it (LS7 option) then the looks will be fine!

The new LSx architecture is the way to go. That car, with the 427ci LS7, if it sold for under $40K would be dynamite! But GM traditionally doesn’t put the best motor in the Camaro - they always keep it one step behind the 'vette. This kind of corporate holding back and timidity is emblematic of what’s wrong with GM. As far as perfomance cars go, GM was at it’s best in the 60’s when they fought the horsepower wars internally as well as externally. But even that wasn’t easy. As I understand the story, John DeLorean had to pull some pretty slick moves to bring the GTO to market. The first year, it was actually just an option package for the Tempest, not a separate model line. They were worried about publicitiy and that it might be faster than the Corvette for less $$$.

An LS7 Camaro would steal a lot more sales from other companies than it would from Corvette.

Ford did it first

Going back to its muscle car roots for the design

Now GM and Chrysler are on the bandwagon

I have to say though I like all the new designs, because most new cars all look the same.

I would take the new challenger design over this camaro or the new stang

have they not added that video yet? all I get is the 1/6/06 one, with leno and sales numbers.

and I love all three concepts, honestly. once again the pony cars lead the way for good looking, affordable domestic fun.

I still love the new mustang, and the fact that it’s causing GM and chrysler to scramble for an answer.

again 😉

awesome :tup: I really like it…

I’d change a few things… but then again, most of what I’d change will probably get weeded out for the final production design anyway

it’ll be nice to see the cambird back :tup:

This pic is the first good one ive seen with someone standing next to it. That helps show that its alot smaller than the initial pics made it seem. I like the sort of chopped roof look too.

During the unveiling, Bob Lutz stepped out of the driver seat with no problem. If a guy in his 60s/70s can get out of a coupe that easy, then the ergonomics are dead on.
