2007 Camaro Concept (Opinions)

This is my newest concept, I think it would make a great 5th Gen, not really retro but not futuristic, it's pretty modern and would kill any 2005 Stang. Tell me what you think or any suggestions.

That bar in the front has to go. IMO, the headlights are nothing to cheer about, either...

Also, doesn't look like there would be any room for a rear seat. No matter what the 5th Gen will eventually look like, it should have a rear seat.

I think it looks kinda cool once you visualize the proportions.

Right on man.

This is the first time I've seen a new concept and not wanted to scream.

That thing is awesome. Nice work!

I think the grille may be a little too big, but those headlights are perfect! I think it's very sharp looking! Good work man.

Re: 2007 Camaro Concept (Opinions)

Overall it's a great start. I see some things that I'd change, but it's all really personal preference.

1. C-pillars that are a little wider and more upright would help connect it to previous camaro gen's. I'm not so big on the curving arch on the greenhouse, but it does fit the design you've chosen. I'd like something a little more angular and flat on the top, but I think it would look out of place on your car.

2. More squared off rear end...I just don't happen to like the "arch". That goes for the later SS rear spoilers too....not just your concept. The spoiler in the front shot looks better than the one in your rear view.

3. Make the front grill not quite so wide. It's over powering IMO.

That said...I see a lot that I like. The hood scoop is a very nice touch. I also like what you did with the exhaust outlets and the area surrounding them and the headlights and turn signal/drl's.

The front end needs a little work, but I absolutely love the back end; it's perfect!

Hmm....seems that the same can be said for girls too

Not bad, the front end is a little complicated like a Sunfire, but overall not bad. I don't think the front end should have to be complicated to look aggressive though, it looks a little more flashy than functional. Looks like what the Cadillac version of a Camaro would look like.

That's kind of cool. I'd like to see how it would look toned down though.

Those back tires are huge!!! What are they, 345's?!

Very nice design, I must admit.

I agree with Joe K. about the arched rear spoiler.....a little flatter and it would be perfect.

Looks good. Wish somebody would draft that thing up so the proportions would be right. Those are some pretty monster rotors on there, too. 18"?

Re: 2007 Camaro Concept (Opinions)

I LOVE the rear of the car. Sweet all around.

Not a big fan of the front end lights/grille either. Looks like a caddy to me. The lower grill is nice, but the top grill/headlights just dont look right. Hood scoop gets an A.

Also I like the mirror shapes, but i dont like how they are connected. The arm looks small and wobbly.


p.s. I wish i could draw a stick figure, much less a concept car
