As I underdtand it, for contractual reasons with the union there will not be a 2004. 2005 maybe.

If the new Camaro will look anything like that I hope it never comes back so that it could go out with some dignity.

Thumbs down

That thing is the most butt-ugly design I have seen yet for the Camaro's of the future. It looks like a cross between a concept luxy car and a f-ing space ship!

The 4th generation Camaro's of today look FAR better than that POS ever could. I don't have a problem with them redesigning the platform, but at least make it look GOOD.

If that is the best GM can do, they're going to have a hard time trying to sell that.

That car is ugly! The reason according to them was because of the interior? That's somewhat true, but I think the main reason is because they didnt advertise the F-bodies

i don't like that either, looks lik an old truck, honestly the cars from the old days look better.

what's even funnier, the last sentence says the rumor is that only 50000 a year will be made, the main reasonfor canceling it was because of low sales, does that mke an sense?

it doesn't look bad, but it doesn't compare to the 2002's.

Gross!

I don't understand why the current F-body couldn't be 'modded' into GM's Idea of a 'more desirable' Camaro... actually, I do know- they wanted to close that Canadian plant. Counting the Firebird, they must have sold more than 70,000 F-bodies. This is with ZERO advertising. Not bad for word of mouth and reputation sales. Gee, what are the odds that the new Camaro (if there is one) will be built in Mexico? Fine, just pack up the Canadian plant, haul it down there, and crank her up. And throw in some more HP to keep ahead of the stang.

But then again, what do I know.

Ford owrse than an import??!!?? What the F*@# are you smoking.

By the way, that design does look like crap. If GM had sunk some engineering money into the f-bods they might still be around. You can thank GM for the f-bods demise.

Talking

I guess I'm in the minority, but I think that concept looks pretty badass. I like the chevy truck cues on the grill and the long hood/short deck look. If they offer that car with 350+HP at around $30,000, I'd buy it.

It's got the same front end as the SSR. Take a look at the cross bar grill. The only difference is sqare head lights vs round. Why do 2 different cars have the same style front end? That's the ugly part. If they fix the front end, I might give it a chance.

Isn't that the page from a Motor Trend from about a year ago?
