The proportions are good, and it does appear to be a good deal smaller than the current model with the conservative styling I like, however I think the apostrophe headlights can go in exchange for an entirely new design.

9/10 (10 being the best).

My only gripes are minor: Rear end is sitting too high / too bulged up, rear tire looks too skinny.

Stripes, YES. Black mirrors, YES. Horizontal vent-type turn signals, YES. Realistic front fenders unlike the SS concept, YES. Lack of bowtie bar, YES! Fresh thinking on the headlamps, YES. Heritage (late 4thgen early 1stgen), YES.

The front end overall has sort of a 60s Cobra feel to it, but in a decidedly Camaro sort of way Awesome, I like it a lot. Now we need to see it from other angles!

GT

I like it alot, but also dont like the apostrophy like healights... maybe if you loose the spike in them and just make them round it would fix it in my eyes... otherwise I love it

It looks nice, but it just doesn't grab me. It's missing something that I can't really put my finger on. Nice work though.

Although I'm hoping for a 67-68 throwback to come out - I do like that picture..........looks quite a bit like the SS that just debuted.......

It looks like a Corvette to me, proportion wise. Its a great looking car, just doesnt do Camaro for me.

Windshield WAY too tall.
Grille opening WAY too big.
And lose the 300M "eyebrows" on the headlights.

Other than that, very interesting.
