Re: 2007 Camaro Concept (Opinions)

Ther's parts i like and parts i dont. I dont really like the grille and headlights. but i do like the sheels, spoiler (although it should probably be toned down a little) and i also really like what you did with the exhaust and fog lights with grille between them and keepint the same shape for that in both front and back. pretty cool and nice little touch. The passenger cabin would have to be lenghtend to support 2 rows but thats just nit picking

Re: 2007 Camaro Concept (Opinions)

I agree, these are all starting to look really similar. I'm wondering if this one was inspired by the Muscle Tone Hotwheels car . It looks a little different from what I remember, but the rear end looks pretty similar I think.

This one does an okay job at looking good, but I still feel that this one, like just about every other concept, rejects its 4th gen heritage. I would like to see at least a family resemblance to the 4th gen. "Oh my god, #5 has your eyes #4! And your butt #1!"

I thought of the "Muscle Tone" also, when I saw it....which is not a bad thing.

The rear looks good. I like the exhaust and gas filler.

Re: 2007 Camaro Concept (Opinions)

Very very nice. Has some styling cues that remind me of my 80. (mainly the rear and 2 grille setup)

Re: 2007 Camaro Concept (Opinions)

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"?
I wish someone would too. The true test of how a concept would look is how it would really look rolling off the assembly line. The tires and wheels make an otherwise good looking design (although it does look like the rest of the concepts) look like a cartoon car. I also think Chevy wants a more daily driver friendly Camaro. One that girls won't mind getting into, and a bigger roomier back seat than the past years. That part is just a guess though.

Re: 2007 Camaro Concept (Opinions)

Looks good ....but, I'm still hoping for a front end/grille based off the '69 RS.

I think Chevy knows that very few 4th gen owners used the backseats of their cars (check my survey in this forum for the results) so I'm not so sure that they would be concerned about a bigger roomier backseat. To capture part of the market looking for a larger backseat... they better at least give us something a little bigger... but I hope it still has the feeling of the 4th gen. I don't care what anybody says, riding around in the back of a 4th gen is nice. The only thing that could make it better is if you could see out the hatch if you tilted your head back.

They have to capture the girls, and most of these concepts don't do it. Even my concept (this one if you forgot) doesn't exactly target girls... Well... except for the fact that I want the 2007 Camaro offered in pink . If it isn't offered with GPS, 2 cigarette lighters (one for a cell phone charger and another for a curling iron) , and a decent drink holder you can kiss the next Camaro goodbye too. Girls only like the way my car looks, they don't particularly like riding in because they are used to being spoiled... which in turn makes me want to be spoiled... haha. There's only 3 things my best female friend likes about my '95 Z28: 1) how it looks 2) how powerful the a/c blows and 3) how amazing the factory stock Bose stereo sounds.

You should still be able to order a Camaro with as few of options as you want, but you have to be reasonable. The Camaro has to compete with other mass produced cars, it isn't a low production Lotus Elise, so it has to have the amenities other cars have too.

... ... ... I just completely made this topic off-topic , sorry .

the back is absolutely PERFECT with a slightly flatter spoiler. The front pretty good too, but not my favorite. Good job.

Re: 2007 Camaro Concept (Opinions)

The front I was trying something different cuz everything else I posted got rejected cuz it looked too much like everyone elses but this concept is different and I thought it all out by myself and I wasn't inspired except by my love for the Camaro. I have no idea what a Muscle Tone is. I can edit it if you can tell me how...........
