I kind of like to see the door handles to go, dont get me wrong i think they look good and good for areodynamics. The reason i dont like them is because if it snows or freezing rain imagine how hard it would to be to open and you have to open with two hands.

 

Sorry folks Bob Lutz implies that the door handles are different on the production car.

See post 14

 

Darn, so interesting too. I just hope the ones they replaced 'em with blend into the door really well.

 

I don't know if the past can be a prediction for the future of what the Camaro's door handles will be, but...

..let's assume we're not going to get a square key and a round key upon delivery of our 2009 Camaros. At least that will mean we won't be getting GM's venerable door handle with the lock cylinder placed next to it like every other Camaro made, and there will likely be no butterfly ignition column with a flasher that pulls awkwardly out from the side.

 

Was gonna say, there's a vid about it here...

That'll prolly be changed once it hits production. They seem problematic, possibly brittle to the pissed off driver... Road rage anyone?

 

those door handles are not practical for production imo. I would feel like I was going to break it off and it reminds me too much of a little miata door handle...

 

I'd like to see the early 90's Lumina/Beretta style handles myself. I always like how they appreard integrated into the side rather than a seperate piece.




(Lumina Z34, still one of the best looking vehicles from the early 90's IMO.)

Just put it at the rear of the door since there'll be no B-Pillar like they had. Would still look more smooth than a typical handle.

 

Which is why I don't think they will make production.

I have always liked that style. It felt more natural to use.

I think something more like a C6 door handle would be awesome and even better. I can only hope for that one.

 

I would love for something like that to happen. wonder if something like that was brought up at the summit

 

I was just about to make a thread about this today.

I have a black Camaro and the door handles wobble. SO when you open the door it scrapes the paint off the handles. Looks like ***.

 

I thought I was the only one who liked those...

 

I cant see that handle lasting very long, doesnt look very strong, looks like just one hard pull and it will bend or break off inside or something. IDK mabe its just me.

 

I'm really hoping there is no B pillar....The production Challenger apparently has them now.

 

I don't think you have to worry about it making production.

I have been thinking about this. It seems that due to crash standards, it might be an impossibility to avoid them. I am preparing myself to accept this fact.
