I'll reserve judgement until after more is revealed, but that looks to be taller, chunkier, and less aggressively sculpted than the concept, which ain't necessarily a good thing. Not unexpected, but so far disappointing. We'll see what it looks like in a better color/with a better lens/in person.

I wonder how porky it will be.

The concept was TOO chopped looking.

Even this white car could stand to have a slightly taller greenhouse, or at least a better ratio of greenhouse/glass to door sheetmetal.

OH, I almost forgot...



That looks MUCH better than the heavily camo'd pics that showed up the other day (on jalopnik, maybe?) from Australia. The narrower tires in those pics made me think the car must have been a V6 car. This car looks to be much better proportioned. Some of that could have been a visual effect of the camo, of course. [Centric, I'm sure the pure white paint is obscuring a lot of the detail. When I move my head in relation to the screen I can see things popping out in more detail (like the front wheel well flare).]

This car looks sweet.

EDIT:

It's too tall and looks like a porker. Reminds me of a charger.

How do you figure its too tall? The new Camaro looks to be a tad shorter than a convertible Mustang:

I think people should stop chewing their nails. A production-intent copy will appear soon enough... that's the time to start really looking at the new Camaro. It's interesting to see these half-pix... but just about impossible to make any accurate conclusions about the production car.

Believe it or not, I totally see the "Charger coupe" comparisons.



It was actually the very first thing that popped into my head. But as I said in the same thread over on the 5th Gen General Discussion board, I am hoping the relative "blandness" of this shot compared to the concept is due to the vanilla color, the front and rear cammo and the crappy cell phone quality.

The concept had the same kick up at the rear 1/4 panel. The Charger's is more abrupt. I think the slightly elevated and forward angle in the original picture in this thread is changing the way the upkick looks.



The production Camaro will look a lot like the concept in this area, I'm quite sure. I don't see much Charger when I look at the concept.

Need to see the car without the camo, in a better color and/or in appropriate lighting (to show the details).

But yeah, all cars these days have the squashed greenhouse vs. body proportions, for which we can all thank the damn Chrysler LX cars...
