Re: Sits alittle high. Waddya think?
Not that much of a huge problem for me. The critics said that 4th gens sat too low and was too hard to see over the hood, this appears to fix that. Although it would be cool to see a lowered, more swept 4th gen stance on this car.

More speedbump/driveway 'friendly'.
and i know the 4th gen is closer...but it kinda makes the concept look small.
Also, aside from the LS1 headlights, which i've never really liked..the 4th's styling isn't as trumped by the concept as i thought it would be.

Re: Sits alittle high. Waddya think?
I think the 4th Gen sat way too low, however its all in those Rims. I noticed it in the videos. those 21 and 22 I think cause it to sit so high. You see it in the old muscle cars when they put the dubs on them. Think 17's to 18's would look good? Maybe 19? thats a lot of bling

Re: Sits alittle high. Waddya think?
I think it wouldnt look so high without those huge 21/22" wheels . the car looks sweet sitting with other Camaro's , now that all the Power Tour pics are starting to come out .

Re: Sits alittle high. Waddya think?

My wife liked the way it sit and that she could see the hood and see out good. Thats one thing she hated about our 4th gens.

Re: Sits alittle high. Waddya think?
It's just those big goofy wheels, they don't even look like they belong on there.
Sometimes bigger isn't better.

There not that big when compared to the car though.
Although, i think either 18/19 or 19's allthe way around would look much cleaner than the 21/22 combo that is on it now.

Re: Sits alittle high. Waddya think?
For just a "concept" car, GM sure is getting alot of mileage out of thing!
I agree with everyone else, the wheels look a little 'overkill' in this picture, and the 4th gen sits unusually low to begin with.

Re: Sits alittle high. Waddya think?
I think maybe its just that 4th gen has been lowered. Makes the concept look like a 4x4.

Re: Sits alittle high. Waddya think?
Which is one reason why 22s are too big for a production car.
The new Escalade has 22s, and they look big on that truck.
I think 18-19 is a good size, certainly no bigger than 20" wheels.

Re: Sits alittle high. Waddya think?
The angle of that picture doesnt help AT ALL. It skews everything, making the 4th gen look bigger and lower, and the 5th gen look smaller and higher.

Re: Sits alittle high. Waddya think?
Those wheels are WAY too big and contribute to the high ride height. I'm hoping that they are like most concept wheels and are two sizes larger than production. It reminds me of the ghetto hoopty 80's Monte Carlos I see around town with 22's or larger that make the car look like a damn 4x4.
I agree with the post above, the 4th gen more than holds it own looks wise with the 5th gen. There is more overall Camaro heritage in the 4th gen than the 5th.

WOW! Just wow. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that one just blows me away.
