Sure, it's just one designer's idea of how a Camaro (http://www.autoblog.com/2006/04/28/new-chevy-camaro-concept-pics-released-by-gm-all-high-rez/) SS might look in 2008 or beyond, but Lutz and Co. should take note of some of the design elements in this rendering by Atomicshark (http://www.atomicshark.com/). The deep-set headlights with bumper-mounted foglights surrounded by the white SS stripe bring back memories of the Camaro's past, but the swoopy rear fenders seem to miss the mark a bit. We also think the four round taillights are way too close to recent Impalas, but it's always nice to dream about what might be someday.

One more rendering after the jump.

That pic is very old........ I dont understand why this was posted?

Can you read?

It was posted by an automated news bot that isn't perfect. What's so hard to understand?

That pic is very old........ I dont understand why this was posted?

The hard part to understand is why this article ended up in the bot in the first place. Who's writing an article on a 2+ yr old concept drawing despite the fact the legitimate concept is already out?

It's all right there. :confused:

Odds are no one bothered to read it when they saw the pic was several years old.

Pretty simple...look at the date of the article. It was posted on AutoBlog TODAY, regardless of how old the PICTURE was. The article was harvested by our RSS feed bot because of that.

Thankfully it didn't turn out that 'smooth'.

I much prefer the sharp creases and angles.

The 'smooth' 4th Gens looked great, but this shape looks much better in an angular form.

This was submitted by Atomicshark in the GMinsidenews Camaro contest before the concept was released. The fronts not bad.

Call me crazy, but I like the rear.

Here's the article in it's entirety.

Sure, it's just one designer's idea of how a Camaro SS might look in 2008 or beyond, but Lutz and Co. should take note of some of the design elements in this rendering by Atomicshark. The deep-set headlights with bumper-mounted foglights surrounded by the white SS stripe bring back memories of the Camaro's past, but the swoopy rear fenders seem to miss the mark a bit.

that's so wierd.. why would autoblog post about some guys years old dream of what the car could look like, when we already know what the car will look like

someone typed that article years ago, but it just made it to the internet....damn 56k :lol:
