What is going on in the black area that we can't see? Why is the rear bumper, or whatever it is supposed to be, so high up? It looks like the car was kicked in the ****.

I like the black portion that many cars are getting now, that flat black "defuser" pannel. But yes, this car suffers, like the 4th gen did, from Assupintheairitus.

Don't count on it.
Apparently there was a late change in the whole design direction of the Camaro and it had nothing to do with what we have been saying or what we want. They wanted a piece of the retro Mustang pie and it seems they got it. Unfortunatly, there is a lot of pie to go around to the same crowd now, and it is all the same flavor.
Re: Some thoughts on the pictures........
I'm kind of getting tired of all these people flaming that it's too retro.
It might just be those angles you see it here that make it look retro to some, or this was an old deisign study that was meant to be a little on the retro side. But Red has ensured us that the car we will see in a month is not retro. Some classic design cues yes, but they tell us "the FUTURE looks bright" and I don't think they'd say that if the car was too much from the PAST.
I'm not bailing on our trusted high up board members. The more I look at it the more evolutionary it looks. I'm sure what is shown next month will be a knockout, and when Ford and Dodge have to restyle they're retro cars in a few years and have no where to go, GMs evolution will shine though even more.

You know, I think someone needs to grab a big honkin' trowel and scrape away ALL the clay on the rear fascia....and start completely from scratch.
Kinda cartoony, but again a lot of "concepts" are...just think it needs to remain more vertical maybe, as heritage, on the rear...and some modern lights...if circular, please no huge "fish eyes" like the older Impy's.
Side mirrors look like ones on "Need For Speed" video game.
I hope the sides are smoothed out some too, too angular.
I just keep remembering, this has got to be up to date for 2008...ish, looks like it'd compete with an 05 Stang right now..to me.
I wish it were somewhere between the one it is, and the Sharky's concept.
(personal opions ok,
)
Re: Some thoughts on the pictures........
I LOVE IT!!! If it does end up like this, though I know it will change somewhat, this car will without question help me to continue being a Camaro enthusiast and I will be proud to own one, or two or however many, because I know once I see all the possible diffrent versions I'm going to want them all, we just better not have to wait untill 2009, I'm serious, damnit, I mean it, I want this yesterday GM!
I'm not kidding, I want it now!!!

Re: Some thoughts on the pictures........
Exactly what i was wondering, eboggs. Now anyone who types camaroz28.com gets to see the new camaro...
Maybe GM is stirring the kettle and this is an old concept... maybe Scott getting pissed was part of the plot. Look what this forum has done to me, conspiracy theories and such...
