It's lost a bit of its toughness...now it looks like a bloated mustang in the videos...and where did the spoiler go???

are there going to be aftermarket mods and lights to make it look like the concept???

I love this car ...but man it looks kind of cheap...

its missing that wide stance

The corvette looks wide because its not very tall. Looking at the G8's specs, its almost 3" wider than the vette so you probably dont want the camaro to be any wider when considering how that would affect the weight.

well since i've seen these pics http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3139

i feel a bit better and realize all it needs is that same spoiler and the emblem...the halo headlights and the concept grille...and it will look almost exactly the same...except the backlights are taller...but i'm happy knowing this

There are several changes that make no sense to me, but it's no mustang...

They removed the spoiler so it could be more aerodynamic and have less weight......Those lights, and pretty much everything you see in those videos and all those spy pictures is the absolute 100% final production Camaro, exactly as it will be available to the public in about 1 1/2 years. including the trailer hitch. It will also only come in a limited number of color schemes: black, white, camo black & white, and white with stripes.

I ordered with the rope that hangs out out of the trunk of the white car, but I have buyer's remorse.

From what I recall, the concept was as wide as a Silverado.
