Well, I gotta say...if THAT is as retro as we get, I think I'm fine with it And seeing as how its RP approved (yes, I picked up on that too), is this close to what I'll be seeing in less than 60 days????

My likes:
1) The low stance.
2) The low roofline.
3) Subtle, but attractive gfx.
4) Low noseline
5) The '69 character lines in the sides add retro without being blatant.
6) Its kind of HHR-like in that its heritage, but it doesn't LOOK like the original from any angle we can see so far. Dodge, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

My dislikes:
1) The nose, while lower, is still blunt-nosed and Mustang-like.

That's really about it...make the nose a little more modern, give it a 5.3 and a T56 and price it around $26k in today's dollars for a base model with my basic power goodies, XM and a loud stereo, and I'll give Chevy my deposit.

I'm not kidding either!

 

The 67-68's have no crease at all

Please for the love at least let it have the dual round tailights ala 70-73 Camaro and Corvette!!! PLEASE!!! That look is sooooooo sexy on a car and is so unique to Chevrolet that I definatly want it on my new 5th gen!

 

I'll second that...I was thinking the same thing earlier. Chevy should = 4 round tailights. The largest complaint I've heard from people I've shown the new Impala to is "where are the round tailights? I liked those!" I agree entirely.

Make that shape with 4 round tailights, and its a winner...

 

I was talking about the line of the top of the front fender and how it dies part way into the doors and the rear quarter ridge line...

You can kind of make it out on this profile of my 67 RS



In John's design its continuous.

Edit: Its even clearer in this close-up...

 

That rear fender tension, hump whatever you wanna call it, was kept up until the end of the 3rd gen, I always liked that line, it always made a connection, in my mind at least, with my 91Z and the past. Good to see that it has been shown in so many renderings. If all the entusiasts are picking up on it, then I feel good in the Chevy designers including it (just a gut feeling).

 

I think round tail lights would look cool, but I'd rather see it with more 3rd/4th gen style ones. Round ones look good but they don't exactly look as aggressive as some other possible designs...I want the new Camaro to look as intimidating as possible

 

I actually think the round lights scream pure Muscle... JMHO


besides that... for the most part when you come up behind a guy at night thats driving a Vette or early Camaro you usually know whats up ahead when you see them things... I think it means "watch Out!"

 

This thing is 100% perfect.

Best rendering ever.

Super aggressive, retro yet modern, perfect stance, and looks to be something that is production-ready. no excess, no BS.

I will take 2. 1 yellow, 1 black.

 

WOW....I don't think this forum has agreed on something as much as I've seen here.....EVER!

So what does that tell you?? Chevy........BUILD IT!!!!

 

yeah! no kidding! if we can all agree then thats saying something!

 

that's saying more than something, this is HUGE seeing how most threads have ended up in the past few months!

We Stand United

 

That is a gorgeous rendering. Definitely my favorite one by far.

Any chance I can get a higher resolution version for my desktop?

 

If the real thing is even 90% of that concept, GM has BY FAR the best-looking of the three pony cars that will be competing soon.

Build it.

Build it FAST.
