One thing I miss that is not on the new Camaro or any production cars (now days), is the hidden gas door behind a swivel licence plate. I used to love that on old cars, bc it enables the body of the car to show off its lines without a placement of a gas door.

Your thoughts?

 

I thought auto makers didn't care to put the gas intake there because of rear end collisions.

 

I think the gas door on the 5th gen looks pretty good. It doesn't ruin the lines on this particular car.

 

I am sure the safety ****'s had something to do with it.

 

My Grand National has the gas filler cap behind the license plate. Man, is that ever a pain in the ***!

 

That was always one of my favorite things on the old school cars for some reason. But yeah, I'm sure the increasingly stringent safety regulations put a stop to that one.

 

I miss the t-tops.

 

my 96 imp has the gas behind the rear plate as well. I like the hidden part about it and the fact that I can pull up to a pump from either side. I have installed a part from White painted Caprices that is basically a cheap rubber flap that goes in between the plate and the braket that keeps fuel from getting on the bumper.

 

i'll miss the hatch.

 

cant wait for a real trunk...water gets in the vanes on either side and back of hatch when i wash it

 

I'd much rather have a hatchstyle trunk also. Why CAN'T the 5th Gen be a hatch and still keep the appearance of a normal trunk? Isn't the Scion tC a hatch? It certainly doesn't look like one. Why can't they do something similar with the Camaro?

But I agree the 4th Gen's hatch wasn't very well thought out where water runoff was concerned.

But if that's the biggest complaint, that's pretty minor imo.

 

Me too....

 

Ok, ok, I'll admit it. Only 2 things I'll 'miss' in the new Camaro.

TTops and Hatch Trunk. (I can't ever settle on just one thing in my life. Gotta have options.)

 

Yup

 

Agreed.
