Yeah, I believe it was the Rageous...or really close to it. It still looked like a 2-door, just had 2 really short suicide doors and the hatch was like the Rageous..
I believe if they do it well and right, the door and a half won't be much longer than the LONG doors on 3rd Gens...the average on-looker will NOT be able to tell it has the 2 small doors that would make the rear seat VERY usable...BUT if they make the small doors too long, it would screw up the body lines and I would definitely be against it..

If I had too much cash to burn, I'd find a way to convert my 4th gen to have scissor doors

you know, after reading about awd, and 4 doors on a camaro, and all this other bs on it...i'm really sick of it personally
if you want all this fancy crap (performance on the fly button), awd, 4 doors, and everythign in between, why doesnt gm just make a whole new car without taking a name from the past?
call it guliad or ***afayno, whatever
i mean, you guys come off to me as trying to make the camaro practical (which i agree with jg that it never really was) but i can expect some sort of this
but when we talk awd (i drive in snow too, it isn't necessary, trust me), 4 doors and everything, why even try to label it as a camaro?
you basically want the camaro to come back but don't want to have the associated history (all 35 years of it) to come into play
it's like the vette
it doesnt need to be awd or have 4 doors, or even be turboed or anything else because it fills it's niche
if you think by adding all these fancy options and stuff will make people come, you're all wrong
it might attract a few but the camaro didnt sell in its later years for a few reasons, which i feel, dont include not having enough options or being "practical"

I was NEVER talking "4" doors, more like 2 small door-like hatches behind the doors for easier access to the rear seat area.
I love the Old Camaro's probably more than most people, but do you think a retro would sell good today, a true to its heritage no frills, straight line performer???Drum rear brakes, vinyl interior, heavy doored gas guzzler??NO!..
Everything must continue to evolve to some point to survive...
Staying true to its Heritage goes beyond cosmetics, it's NO COMPRIMISING Vette-like performance with 4 seats!...and then some!...
AS I said before, I'm 100% against a "4-door"!, but 2 small door extensions would be interesting to see before judging, and if nearly invisible, why would people care??If they're small enough NOT to affect the body flow lines, why would it be different if you could see fitment lines or not??
(It doesn't have to be anything like an RX8!)
