They need to get the spoiler from the concept on the mule cars asap.

Only looks good from a 45 degree angle or the side. Is it also goin to be over 3600lbs?

Am I the only one who feels like the fat kid pictured is GM?

It's probably because it's a black vehicle. IMHO, that black diffuser panel on the back needs to be in contrast with the vehicle color. Otherwise, the rear end looks like a huge wall. Depth is kind of hard to judge on a black (or white) vehicle, so maybe that's why it looks so bland? Paint the car blue, leave the diffuser black, and voila! White would work too...

I think the trailer hitch is a bit comical, but I guess they have to make sure once they put in the owner's book that the Camaro can tow "1,000 lbs" that it really can. Someone will always try.

Guys, the trailer hitches are there primarily to pull tow-behind dynos. These let them load up the vehicle as though it were going up and down grades and such, even on straight ground.

Generally speaking, they aren't there so they can practice pulling jet skis around.

Yeah...I'm so ****ing sick of the pointed noses these cars have had for years. Apparently the same designers are working on this cars as all the other gens

I like the smoother lines on the concept. But the trailer hitch and the lack of spoiler combined with the wide angle lens kinda hurt the concept.

no, you are not the only one.. you are in the minority though.. seems like most people love these latest shots, especially of the black car.. it has even brought some back who were iffy after the first few spy shots

The black one also doesn't have the bowtie in the middle, which may or may not make a difference, but I'm not sure.

It looks like the *** end of a Vette. I don't see the issues a bunch of Vette lovers are having.

I didn't even notice that it was missing. I think it would break up the space nicely.
