The black SS is nice, but the silver one with the mesh grille is ugly. Mesh grilles are just WAY too 'busy' to me.

I've said it before, I'll say it again... TTops looks just fine on the 5th Gen imo.

the concept camaro looks better than i have imagined with t-tops(i still think a single targa top would look the best, bc it could be body colored or smoked) but i would have to see a pic with t-tops on the car to get the full effect.

Dont like the look of those T-tops. Targa would be better.

Im in love with the black one although Im confused as to why the exhaust tips are in the front like that.

wow, the t-tops look better than I had expected. I'd want to see them extend further forward than shown in the picture though.

I won't buy the Camaro unless it has T-Tops. My dad and I both have them on our 02s and I will never buy a car without them again. I love being able to see the sky above me. Oh, and I refuse to buy a Camaro with a moon roof even more so.

I agree! I Plan on buying the 09, but only if T-Tops are available. I dont think a camaro is a camaro without the t-top option.

I highly doubt that we will a T-top option on the Camaro again. It would compete with the convertable. I think that Ford has set the pace in that respect and GM is following suite.

Some of the insiders may want to chime in here....

PS. I LOVED my T-tops too, and I had 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gen cars wif' em!

I thought I had read somewhere that Ford was considering TTops in the Mustang in the near future?

I don't see TTops as competition for convertibles. Most that want a convertible would not settle for TTops. And those that don't particularly care for the look of a convertible (myself included) would opt for TTops.

A hardtop convertible (WITH a sunroof) is the ideal, but not likely to ever happen. Let alone at a price most of us that want TTops (generally a $1000 option) would want to pay.

It's simple. GM should offer TTops as an OPTION. Those that want it can take it, those that hate it don't have to have it.

There was talk of Ttops on Mustang early on but I never heard much about it. Maybe after the refresh but its not like they're pressed to move models.

If anyone has forgotten its not simply a matter of to include or not to include, modern crash standards, and by modern I mean 2009 and not 2002, and not 1969, don't really allow for a car without a B pillar, like the 5th gen concept, to have Ttops.

The crux of the issue is to include them they would have to make some serious design changes for an option they're not crazy about.
