I am terrified that it's going to change too much. The concept is chiseled, and I'd scared it might get softened up for production. We saw a little of this with the new Mustang. I just love the exterior look of the concept. I know the interior is going to change a bit, I think it's for the best. But please, don't take any of the character away from that exterior. No watered down Camaro!

 

It will change some, but will remain true to the concept. The Solstice made it thru practically untouched.

 

I don't know about the Solstice being untouched. I think it's proportions were SUBSTANTIALLY altered on the production car. It really disappointed me when I saw the production version for the first time.

 

I saw a black one at Fry's the other day. I can't say I remember the differences from the one I saw at the autoshow back in the day, but it is still an awesome little car.

 

It was? I saw both the Concept and the Production version. Look very similiar to me. Am I missing something here?

 

My biggest fear is that GM will use cheap materials in the interior again. It would be a crime if a Civic interior's materials, design and construction blow away that Camaro again.

 

I think the only way to lose the design battle to the new Civic is to actually TRY to goof it up....

 

I wouldn't know what a Civic's interior looked like if it bit me in the a**. Wouldn't get caught dead in one.

 

You may question the styling of the interior, but the design, or more properly the engineering, is far beyond what is evident in the average GM car.

I sat in my friend's Infiniti G35 coupe some time back and was amazed at the interior. I then read in a magazine that the car would be getting an upgraded interior the following year that did not look as cheap. I've spent so much time in my Camaros that I've become used to the mediocrity. Seeing what the rest of the world offers was a real eye opener.

 

You nailed my big concern about Camaro.

The Mustang's interior is terribly cheap as far as materials go. It's lessened by the fact Mustang's interior's overstyled and is put together pretty tightly. The Camaro concept has a very very simple interior that amplified the quality of materials inside the car, and details such as the orange stitching on the seats and instrament panel.

If GM did what Ford did with interior materials, it's not going to come off well and is going to be a disaster.

Camaro is going to be the Car that's going to turn around the public's perception of GM, or Camaro's going to be the car that permanently fixes GM as a company that makes substandard cars.

GM has the public and press' 100% attention. Take too long bringing the car out, or destroy the car's interior and that's it.... game over.

 

You nailed it again Guy, I couldent agree more

 

Easy there....I'm on the same page as you..... Everyone knows GM only engineers the interiors on Fridays. After happy hour. Just ask PacerX.

Buuuuuuuut, inside the new Civic would make Marvin the Martian dizzy...... I don't care how well it's slapped together.

 

... and I'll add my vote to put these comments up here front and center again. This is it, guys! My guess is as well that at this stage of the game, another chance will not be forthcoming if this car gets messed up!
This car is a home run! Just don't forget to touch all the bases on your round trip!

Best regardSS,

Elie

 

how do you know that the production version will be close to the concept?
look at what happened to the gto!
