I'm sure that there will be aftermarket SS emblems to replace the bowtie in the grille and on the tail. It's would be a great heritage cue having the SS in the grille, but since this is kind of a halo car for Chevy I think they want people to identify with it as a Chevrolet first and foremost, so they're sticking with the signature gold bowtie as the primary emblem with SS being smaller.

i agree. the brand is kinda in the dumpster, it needs a pick me up to get people to see value in it again.

I'm trying hard to like the SS nose but I still like the V6 nose better. It just flows more and stays true to the concept. If the mailslot was functional then it would be important but since it isn't I could live without it. I'm hoping that GM accessories will have some grille options like say the horizontal ones we saw on many of the test cars.

Say, the Camaro is smaller than a Corvette!

eh, at this point, the size thing kind of lost its lustre. the whole point of it (from my take of it atleast) was that it was hoped to be small, meaning it would be lighter.

I feel the same way. I was just looking at the thread regarding the C&D article and the V6's frt fascia looks better. Also, I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but the fogs on the SS are farther apart, seems it's because they needed the lower grille to be taller and wider either for cooling or for differentiation.
The upper grille would not look as bad if the parking lamps weren't there. It just doesn't seem right being the size and position they are at. Maybe if they put that 3 row grille on the prototype as an option and change the parking lamp to be in the 2nd row only on, it might look a lot better. Or if anything maybe take off the top parking light on the current grille.

Love the pictures. Thanks to all of you who made them possible to be released. I can see the differences in the front fascia between the LT and SS but I have to say I am fine with both. Personally I look at the car as a whole knowing that there are small details that I may not love but overall I love this car and cannot wait to have one in my hands. I don't compare the car to the concept because this is a production car so it has to hold up to far more requirements to survive the elements and be safe. Can't wait to see the SS in Red and one in Imperial Blue so I can make my color decision.

yeah it should..I think that the current placement is too dodge-esque.

The new Camaro looks stunning as usual. But, I'm a little surprised that the SS isn't dressed up in "RS" uniform for it's first dance on the internet. And very surprised that it chose to wear silver.

The base SS is making my right foot twitch, but honestly, the RS/LT cars have more visual pop wearing their HID's, red badging, and "young" colors. Where's the RS/SS?

Seems to me that this SS is probably the same one used on the TV Show My Own Worst Enemy and seen in the ad with Fergie. So that means to me that this silver SS is a IVER car pre-built for show purposes only and that they probably don't have any finished SS/RS models available to show just yet.

I agree why not make the first SS impression be of the RS variety showing all the details and options but maybe GM has a reason for this.

That looks very, very nice. I'm still undecided b/w the silver and yellow but traditionally, I have bought silver cars.

I'm most impressed!
