I give it a solid 3.

GM needs to tone this thing down if it is to be taken seriously. They keep going on and on about this being based on the 69 camaro. that is an insult to every 69 out there. Lose the bling, get back to basic styling ( who REALLY likes the 21? & 22" wheels?)

 

What I can't figure out is why so many nit pic a show car and thats what it is. When it goes into production it will have those looks but it will not have that fancy a interior which was for the show and it will not have 21 and 22 inch wheels as the man said so. Those that do not like the grille I drove around the city this evening and looked at all the brand new cars on the road and never saw so many ugly grilles on these new cars. The one on the new Camaro beats anything out there. The most ugly part of a 4th gen starting in 98 was the grille and when SLP came out with a opt. everyone or at least most got the opt. and changed theirs. If you don't like the one it has change it youself. Never got a car in my life I did not make changes to whay do you think any car company is going to please everyone of you just the way you see things. When and if they build it and its very close to what I see now I will love to have a new camaro once more and then go to work on the upgrades I want on it.

Some are like a kid that ask for candy and when he gets it says well I don't like nuts in mine just be glad you may get some is all I can say.

Not all but alot of the comments on some of the boards sounds just like a bunch of spoiled kids thats got to have every last thing their way or else.
and thats my .02 cents worth

 

Just be glad you got some? Thats how the 4th gen lost the trunk and back seat... You nit pick the car because you want the best result come production. Thats the whole point of the concept. If not it would be braggin rights for production model shows. Not everyone wants to change the grille of a car they just spent 25-30 G on... What do you think youre doing to resale btw?

 

I don't agree with that AT ALL. This is a concept. If you have any nits to pick...well...you'd better pick those nits now.

 

Maybe you don't but I guess you have not read all the supid stuff on some of these boards and I was being nice whan I said some nit picked it, you don't want me to write of what I really think of some that has been said and maybe more the way they said it did not come across very good and I will let it rest there

 

I guess people have their opinion. I thought you were talking about constructive criticism because it will change based on reaction to the concept. I try to say what might make it even better in my opinion. Cant please everyone but I personaly like the car.

 

I agree but that is one thing and being constructive is one thing but some things go way over board. Over all I would say most like the car, but some post on the boards are people who more than likely has not really seen the car, just a few pics and when they make comments about wheel size and the pedals in the car and other things we know the production car will not get anyway and thats just some of the mild examples that you hear over and over. I will ask you how many even on this board much less all the others has really seen the car yet and you know not many.

If the car comes out what you see now other than wheels and the interior changes is whats coming and whats said from hear on out will change little if its to be built at all. Just build one and I will be happy.

 

i would like to see a grill that looks like the old SS with the hide away headlights the grill on the concept reminds me of the old challenger and cuda grill

i like the engine and performance specs, i think the interior is pretty cool as well, one of my fears is that gm will get carried away with the futuristic stuff and the speedo and tach wont be readable, large easy to see numbers is a MUST!! the body lines are amazing, would love to see the z28 and rally stripe package on it. i am the current owner of a 91 z28 and with a promising up and coming career (as im only 17) as a mechanic i am a garenteed buyer. and hopefully a few more camaros along the way, 69 z's and such. the new challenger looks great to btw.

 

I gave it a 6. Most of the interior needs to be redone and the front needs work...I'm also worried how it will look once it is made narrower and smaller rims are on it. And no offense, but I'll cry if they make the front end look like that ^^^

 

I must say it was worth the 8 hour drive to see the concept Camaro in person. I am sure there would be more higher votes if everyone saw the real car , not just a picture. By the way I was less impressed by the Challenger when I saw it.

I voted 9. I love this car, build it. Here is my .02. The front shot looks great. I like the grille, the little scoop, the headlights. The side shot looks great, the rims are perfect for the car, obviously they'd need to be a little smaller diameter. I love all the sharp lines, it gives the car a menacing chiseled look IMO. The rear end is growing on me. At first ( leaked pics) I didn't like it so much, but I'm starting to see a little 68 em' (taillights), though I was calling for round lights.....,close enough. I like that they're sunken in a little, seems to add a little something to em'. Since seeing some of the awesome pics posted on here, by some of the lucky ones who got to see it up close, I'm really starting to see the lines, and I like it (the rear shot)! I hope non Camaro fans will like it cause that's what they'll be seeing! The interior I like for the most part. The one thing for me is the guages breaking the top of the dash pad. I'd like the dash to be smooth across the top. Also I like the guages in the console, but don't care much for their faces. The HUD display, as Scott mentioned in another thread, seems like a great idea IMO, to get the info from the console guages in front of you. I haven't yet driven a car with it, but I always liked the idea. Maybe make it optional. I like the orange lighting, and stitching inside, hopefully like the GTO this would be coordinated with your exterior color choice, blue car, blue lighting & stitching, etc. Hugger Orange car orange stitching & dash lights. I hear the Mustang has dash lighting that can be changed with a button so the lighting shouldn't be a problem. The engine compartment is incredibly clean, obviously there will be more under there on a production model, but if the GTO is any indication, I think we will be thoroughly pleased with it. The fact that the mill isn't half way under the windsheild is a big plus in my book. As for the engine itself! This is what makes GM the best in the damn business IMO! Overall IMHO with this car, just like C6 they nailed it BIG F-ING TIME! Exterior, I wouldn't change one freakin' thing, and am very exited about the next CAMARO!

 

I am in the minority here. It does'nt look like a Camaro to me.
I see a little first generation on the roof pillar and tops of the
quarter panels, but other than that.

I don't see it.

Bummer

 

How do you figure that the 4th gen lost the back seats and trunk. I have a 2nd gen and I guarantee my 4th gen has bigger back sets and trunk area. Have you ever been in another gen Camaro? Also changing the grille is not going to affect the resale. Besides you can put the stock one back on if you are going to sell it.

 

You mean have I ever been in another Camaro besides my 98 such as the 69 camaro in my drive, with a huge real trunk and more accomadating back seats? Nope never have. Of course modification affects resale. Thats common knowlege. Why do you think sellers point out "unmolested" when selling a vehicle?

 

Eh, just another silver car. Not retro enough. Too late model looking. The new Dodge "Charger" is much cooler; simple, retro, smooth.
