Actually Tom I wouldn't mind that at all. Newer, better interior (non-retro please) and a smaller, lighter overall package with evolutionary styling changes would be just fine by me.

Difference is, C5 --> C6 carried over a lot of the mechanicals, an Alpha Camaro would not.

 

I'd like to see an evolution of the current design. For me I'd rather have a trunk than a hatchback, however I could be swayed the other way if they can keep close to the looks of the current 5th gen.

P.S. Also, and I'm not directing this to anyone in particular, if you have already decided you don't like or you're not purchasing a 5th gen for one reason or another, personally I don't care what your styling opinions are for the 6th gen. If you don't love all Camaros, regardless of generation, quite frankly, I don't care what you have to say.

But that's just my 2¢

 

Loving it and buying it aren't quite the same. I love the 5th gen, but I can't justify buying one.

 

That's different. I love the 3rd gens, but couldn't afford the insurance at the time. By the time I could afford the insurance on a new Z/28, the 4th gens were in production.

I guess my post is more directed at people who simply dislike the 5th gen. I have no problem with people disliking it for one reason or another. What I do have a problem with is those people dictating what my next generation Camaro will look like.

 

That design screams Camaro. I want the next generation to do the same. The car shouldn't even need Camaro badges to let people know it is a Camaro.

 

I find these poll results interesting so far........

 

You mean GS? That's the grandma interior of the base Regal.

I think I've told this story about the interior before. I got a little preview of it from one of the designers. I've spoken with and like this designer, so when he asked me: Waddya think Charlie?, I didn't want to be rude, and kept my opinion to myself. After the reveal though, I can honestly say that almost all of us there didn't like the interior - and were quite vocal about it.

I was told by more than one GM rep, that I shouldn't worry, that's not the interior the production car is getting.

 

Just curious -- what don't you like about it? I think it looks awesome -- just about perfect, aside from the lack of a manual shifter and clutch.

 

I don't like the steering wheel, IP, dash, center stack, 4-pack, and shifter. Everything else is fine.

EDIT: We're talking about the Camaro, right?

 

oops...yes the Regal GS (not RS), I'm pretty sure that was the one in the picture.


edit: maybe not, the seats in the above picture look different.


Are you talking about the Regal GS or Camaro?

 

Regal. Charlie, which were you responding about?

 

Camaro...

 

Those are the beautiful Recaro seats in the GS.

 

So how do you feel about Regal's interior?

 

Yes!

Holden test them occasionally. They definitely stand out from the traffic. Nothing else looks like 'em.

OT: There was also a Z06 on the road that I saw a couple of weeks back. What a beautiful, beautiful car. It's a shame Holden don't sell them down here - no thanks to GM, of course!

But you Americans don't know how good you've got it over there especially given how cheap your cars are compared to ours. That Z06 is $AUD220,000 (RHD converted).
