Most of us here probably already knew that. But thanks for the post anyway.
The top on that Solstice (Jazz) looks horrible imo. The front of the roofline should not be lower than the rear. The back is too thick and the window opening is too small.
I've sat in a Solstice and can garauntee I wouldn't even be able to see out of that thing.

I used to own a solstice (one of the first 1000). I really wasn't all that happy with it. It handled great but aside from that it wasn't worth keeping. No power in the NA version. Top was kind of cheesy, leather seats were nice with nice stitching but the rest of the interior materials sucked. Hopefully Camaro doesn't take such drastic cost saving measures.

Where the heck are the calipers on those brakes?

I believe the 'brakes' are actually part of the hubcap. I forget exactly what is part of the hubcap.

The spoiler on the Solstice looks really bad.

I actually like the spoiler. I just can't stand the top.

That hardtop looks no different than the way the softtop connects to the car. What's not to like? :no:

And why are the rear discs that much bigger than the front?

I guess I just never saw that many pics of the softtop with the top up. But you're right. The softtop up is just as ugly.
Just reaffirms why I hate convertibles.

I think it looks alright, but all the same, I'm sure we can both agree that the Solstice just isn't ultimately beautiful. It looks different in person, but in pictures it looks weird. The coupe concept was a little sleeker, but all the same... a little funny looking.

To me, the sides look about 5 feet tall and the windows and mirrors look grotesquely small. But we're getting a little off topic now...:o

yeah those wheels look a bit funky not having calipers on those fake rotors... which are obviously part of some kind of wheel cover...
i hope they fix that for the movie, or at least not make it obvious
besides that.. that is a really cool picture of the camaro... new desktop background ;)

To be honest, I doubt the average moviegoer will even pay attention. I don't.
