I think most of the design is pretty original, and the first gen cues are a GOOD thing, for sales and for my own personal taste lol. I and many others think the first gens are the best looking Camaros ever. That = lots and lots of units sold

 

Yes, yes yes. Please GM can we have window motors that don't burn up EVERY 2 years on the dot.

 

Dang, after all this time I missed it too!

I will say that im more excited now that I know the Camaro is, at least in concept, back within Chevy and they'res proof of it.

God bless!!

 

I'm actually starting to think that maybe this isn't the car we are going to see at NAIAS...I mean maybe I'm just being crazy here, but doesn't it just seem too predictable? I mean we've been looking at concept drawings that look almost exactly the same as this car for at least months now. I'm beginning to think that what we will see at NAIAS will be a substantially different vehicle from what we saw yesterday...I think this car is too much of what everybody expected it to be. I don't know, but I want to, (have to), believe that the boys over at GM have something a little more potent to show us on Jan 9th...This car seems too similar to the Mustang and Challenger in too many ways to actually be the final product...Just a few thoughts....Anybody think what I'm saying sounds completely off base, because I'm not sure what to believe/think right now. I sorta' feel as this could be a publicity stunt of some sort or a sort of distraction to throw off the competition in the final weeks before the big unveiling.../rant

 

It wasnt the car your gonna see . It was the clay version of the REAL car that will at Detroit . While yes , the pics were leaked this week . The pics of the clay concept were probably taken awile ago .

 

I totally understand that a lot of people like retro. I know damn well that in order for the new Camaro to sell I almost have to hate it. I like third and fourth gens. A lot of the shortcomings people hate about them, I like. Go figure, I love everything about the evolution that the 'Vette has taken from 4th to 5th to 6th.

It's still sad to see something you love morph into something everyone else can enjoy but you

fwiw, I saw the pictures from one of the local f-body email lists. I'm sure everyone on the list saw them, granted that's not that many people. Not a single person has commented on them. I'm sure everyone had the same reaction as me. "Oh, that's not surprising" A big reaction on this forum is expected. I will show the pics to some random people here and see the reaction but I'm expecting the same thing... it's uninspiring.

 

I guess we had the same thoughts around the same time...I feel very much the same way that you do especially concerning the retro, overweight, numb, new Camaro part. The same goes for the part about us already seeing this basic design for years now....At this point I refuse to believe that this is it, that this is the new Camaro...There has to be something else. Something newer, fresher and more imaginative than what was in the pictures that were "leaked" yesterday...

 

I realize that, but what I'm saying is that maybe the car we see in Detroit will be a radical departure from the one in these rather dated photos....

 

Good, I'm not totally alone! I'm sure plenty of people have reacted the same way but wouldn't voice their opinion on this forum.

It would be awesome if GM surprised us with something that'd put me in awe. I've become a very harsh critic of the up and coming f-body so I don't expect that. If it happened, it would mean GM truly has a badass machine

As of right now, I'm not dreaming of owning one or setting aside any money to purchase one. It's still a few years away, who knows what the car will really be or what the competition will have (though I've always been a huge GM fan). Can't wait to get back from the Caribbean in January to see some pics! I'm more excited about being in the Caribbean though

 

same here, somebody pm me, dyin from suspense

 

What's good for him is good for me.

 

Look at the rear photo and the front shot that is done closer to the ground, and you'll notice that the car is on jacks or stands of some type.

In addition to the hand drawings on the photos, these are clearly chopped pics.

This car probably didn't even roll, let alone start up. So I'd say these pics were taken quite a while ago.

Based on the hand drawing and the photochopped halves, I'll bet that what we see in January has a significantly different front and rear clip. According to the pics, they can't decide on rear lights, front grille, front lights and nose angle.

It's a clay model, that's how the design work starts out.
Dig 'round the 'net a bit, the background is almost the same area where pics of the C5 clay were taken, amongst other things.

 

they are the same area. i don't think too many people noticed that.

 

Ok so heres my two cents as I dont have much else......As with 94camaro_z_28 its nice to see a lil retro to it. As my dad and I have a 69 firebird so yea its nice to see a lil retro....Its also nice to see the quarter line of a Monte Carlo in there a little bit as well......
Im not 100% sure of the IRS my cars have always had SLA but we will find out. It would be nice to see the IRS out of a c6 vette. The dual exhaust all the way back is nice too, since its true all the way back.......
All and all its a nice lookin car. The interior needs a lil work, but the seats and the dash are nice how the dash just flows into the door panels and straight back to the interior quarter panels.
The only thing i dont like about the dash is the gauges...other than that a great job.....
The drivers side front end is nice but it needs the fog light from the passanger side, the round bezel obstrucks the body line on the bumper a little bit. The shape of the passanger fog light might bring out the stance of the front a bit and make it a bit meaner looking.
But great job guys I know you put a lot of time and effort in this car and its great to see its this far!
great job great car....... i will be buying one
