Someone who has seen it says...

This was posted earlier today on Allpar by "mphmag" (click to see the thread, which is mostly about the new Wrangler):

the Camaro does share some of the traits of the leaked image Automobile ran on it's cover. but it is much more finished obviously, beefier and a lot more mass appealing than the Challenger (IMO) The Challenger is gonna have fans don't get me wrong, but the Camaro could have the same mass appeal as it did before when it competed with the Mustang. It will be the Star of NAIAS unless something I haven't seen comes out. If only they had black concept cars....the concept is the first GM I have ever considered buying (because I don't have money for a Z06).

Hope it's a success with the press and general public. I believe whether it gets the go ahead or not will have alot to do with the reaction it gets.

Re: Someone who has seen it says...

From the same allpar thread, when asked about why the Mustang will have more appeal....

It's more a gut feeling because it is taking cues from the late 60 Camaros like the Mustang did.
Got retro? At least if this guy is correct.

Re: Someone who has seen it says...

I'm sure he is. Autoweek (who surely have had embargoed pix for awhile now) has been describing it as "retro", too. And of course we all saw the stolen pix...

And here's his one post:

1st Gen V8 needed for magazine shoot

Hi everyone!

We're looking for someone in the Detroit area with a first-generation Camaro to help us out with the Rearview section of mph Magazine.

What we need is a first-generation car with a V8....
Oh and don't tell Charlie it's beefier or he'll start another Camaro weight thread! LOL!!!

Don't worry, it's crossed my mind. But by beefier, I think he means more muscular. I'll hold off.
