IMO if you take the white car in the pic and put the same wheel/tire package as the concepts, lower it and put a killer show quality paint job on it they would about the same. (Save the rear bumper, mirrors and no spoiler)

and the gas filler, where did it end up ?

From what I can tell the proportions have changed slightly as Z284ever has said. I think this picture shows the diffences in proportion the best.

That extra bump on the rear bumper and tacked-on reverse lights really piss me off.

Totally f*cks the whole look of the back end.

Think I like the pre-pro better.

Well it's not on the right side or rear from what we've been shown so that only leaves the passenger side.

I hope not...

That's funny. I had the exact opposite reaction. The fuzzy pic we had before appeared to have more smooth, rounded mirrors and I didn't think it matched the Camaro at all.

Now these hi-res pics show that the mirror are in deed more angular, and I think it's a perfect fit.

The Camaro IS 'blocky', it's not smooth and rounded. Rounded mirrors would be completely out of place on the 5th Gen. IMO anyway.

I'm 100% positive I like it better than the concept.

The rear of the pre-production actually looks more evil than the concept. I didn't think that was possible.

Now if they just keep those after-burner style taillights it'll be perfect.

It could be in the trunk in a makeshift fuel cell at this point too.

Is that a sunroof that I see mounted on that pre-production Camaro?

+1. As much as I loved the concept, I like the pre-pro better. At least from that view.

Sure, the reverse lights aren't the best, but I like everything else they did (very, very subtle as the changes were).

Damn wait is killing me.....

It's the proportions.

All of those changes would seem to be in favor of more room in the rear seat and the trunk.

What I think that has been throwing me off is the smaller wheels (and wheel wells) on the mule. The larger wheels on the concept kicks it up a notch. I know the explanation that we won't see such large wheels is the cost issue, but doesn't the Charger and 300 have fairly large wheels?

The other things I wish were different is the door handles (I'd prefer something more flush with the door) and low trunk lid. At least I think it's a low trunk lid, because I can't think of any other reason for that line.

Oh, and the backup lights look like they were added as an afterthought. I hope the production version is placed better, but I don't have any suggestions on how to place them.
