Good starting point. Back is nice, still thinking about it. Front is nice also.Maybe to pointy. ill have to see it in person. sides are o.k.. Wheels are perfect. Ineterior has got to look excotic. not cheap futuristic cheap plastic.

Re: I think I've discovered one of the things that is bugging me about the Concept....

This is for everyone to keep in mind- Until you see it in person- you just dont really know!!

I did not have great love for the 4th gen the first time I saw it in a tv ad. But, it grew on me and I came to love it and own one.

For the most part, I like the concept but I expect some changes before production. Mostly though, until I can lay butt flesh to a production car- I wont really know.

As for the concept- those tail lights arent doing it for me!! But who knows, maybe they are only really meant to be seen by Mustang drivers from two or three car lenghts back!!

Re: I think I've discovered one of the things that is bugging me about the Concept....

I am very happy that GM has the ***** to go forward and make this car; but for some reason I can't get myself to like it when I see it...for some reason it just doesn't say "Camaro' to me.

I like the rear, except the tail lights - maybe 1 piece like someone has said. The wheels need to be smaller....and the front end isn't too bad; just maybe a little "fatter" if you know what I mean.

The interior looks even more weird. The 3-spoke wheel is cool, but the center is too far dented in for me...I kinda like those guages, though most people seem like they don't. I'm also not too sure about having all that wood on the inside; seems so "luxury."

Then again, as it has been said, can't judge for sure until I have seen it in person.

I love the rear. I think I'd like it even more if the tail lights were circular like corvettes' or 70's camaros'

Re: I think I've discovered one of the things that is bugging me about the Concept....

The only thing I don't like about the concept is the interior's instrumentation and dash console. I don't like the divider between the dials in the instrumentation cluster. Irrespective of its links to the past, to me it appears to be an ergonomic flaw. That's what dials are for... to separate each instrument guage. The dash console just lacks imagination.

Maybe my expectations are aligned somewhat to the G35 as far as the interior design is concerned, but somehow I was expecting something more appealing.

I think the rear looks fantastic. Almost a little corvette-ish! Woo-hoo! If the stainless steel grille and bowtie are removed, I think this car would be even more impressive than it already is.

I hate that red color, however.

You must have a good looking shaver.

Please don't flame me too hard..... I'm really trying to get a feel for this car, but it's fighting me.
The car looks like it started out with a front end that looked like this:

\___/

which would have looked cool, but they must have run the concept into a wall when the fiberglass was still wet because it looks like this now:

Rather sad in my honest opinion... I have no interest in buying a brick in the wind.

Because I really do think it looks somewhat like my Braun Syncho electric razor?

You need to look at the head of the shaver as if it were the front clip.

(BTW... I'm not saying it literally looks exactly like it... just saying it the feel I get when I look at it.).......... boy that sounds exactly like what some people say when they say it's not retro...

The concept is just a little too something for me. I can't exactly put my finger on it. Not too retro exactly. Maybe just a little too extreme. Guess I am getting too old (24).

Oh, I thought you were going to say it looks like something from Mad Max/Road Warrior (hahaha, sorry Scott you knew this kind of thing was coming, right?).
