Comprehensive History of Camaro Concept
I sure hope this isn't a re-post... but I found this pretty cool web page via Google Images...

It's fascinating to read, and to see the images. I learned some of the inspirations of the designers, and how the concept came about. I also concluded that WOW... the concept could have ended up a LOT worse!
While all the renderings in there are interesting... some just don't look right IMHO. It's really pretty profound, how well it all turned out! Enjoy

Maybe so! That is one of the alternatives I was referring to when I said "oh - could be SO much worse!"

I thought it was interesting to see, the interior design crew had Diesel watches in mind as design cues. I can see that now, after looking at a few watches on www.diesel.com ...

Thanks! It's good to know.
I posted this thread because I think as time goes on, Camaro owners are going to want to have an archive of the new car's history - which is pretty profound when you think about it.
I think it would be cool too, if it were possible to go on a plant trip to Oshawa and SEE them being buit
Does anyone know if this has been possible in the past? I know some plants here in Metro Detroit do this. You can go on a plant tour of Ford River Rouge where they build Mustangs, and they used to have tours of the Pontiac Assembly plant in Pontiac, where they built Silverados....

I know it would be impossible, but I would love to place my order, drive up to Oshawa, and watch my Camaro being built - the only car I know that you can do that with is the Corvette. But, hey GM, Camaro is just as precious of a nameplate. Sure it's half the price, but just as revered. Don't you think it would be something for us to be able to watch our Camaros go from empty sub assemblies and bare steel structures to full fledged, full color Camaros?

They're spending a lot of money, keeping us working, we don't mind shaking their hands, even taking pictures with them.
It's good PR...
I'd love to be able to do this if or when I order my "friend"...guess now you'd a PassPort tho..
I like the seats in this one and the 5 point belts, it'd be a great option.
