Do you have anything that shows the front end a little better?

Unhappy Re: Another 07 camaro pic

It's too bad GM cancelled all the Zeta platform's. We don't want anymore Truck's or SUV's they suck(unless 400+HP). But still I wouldn't be seen in a camaro if they looked like that. Sorry but GM is turning into Sh**.

...............I do, but I was kinda avoiding that because I am not too satisfied with some of the design, especially the grill (the model didn't translate the design as I had hoped). So here it is. These pics aren't that great so I apolagize.

Front 1
Front 3
Front 4

Sick is right, as in nasty.

See the one above your post. The red one, that looks like a real car on planet earth, not a fantasy mobile with 50 inch wheels and rides .01 inches off the ground.

The red one is pretty close to what I think we will end up seeing, perhaps with a bit smaller wheels.

Chill out man, that is just a "drawing" we like, nothing more. Of course it's not going to look "real" in the sense.

That red one is not bad, but I would hope that GM would make it more aggressive looking as that still seems a little bland (certainly not something that is going to take lots of sales away from Ford's RWD pony car). Needs to surpass the new Mustang not only in performance as it usually has, but also stand out more in creative styling IMO to really be a hit (speaking externally on its behalf).

The red one (model) was designed to be like an actual production model taking into account many constaits that real auto designers face. That being said, in an attempt to keep the car realistic (not a "concept car") I think it ended up looking a touch too familiar in the front. The pictures don't really do it justice as there are a lot of details and lines that can't be seen. A reason it may look a bit bland is because there are no cut lines, door handles, head/tail lights, badges, "Camaro" lettering in the back, and things of that nature. It actually looks better in person.

On a side note, looking at a "new" Mustang, they are pretty ordinary and not very aggresive, even the GT. The Cobra, however, looks more aggressive.

Sorry Neil, not talking about your red one. Talking about the drawing red one.

Re: Another 07 camaro pic

The new Crispy design is good, but way too much 4th gen in that rear, one BIG thing I never liked about 4th gens. The fat, wide rear end gave the car a very overweight look. IMO, made it look much heavier then it should be. Front end is a little eh. Not impressed with it, and doesnt look like it would appeal to female buyers.

Re: Another 07 camaro pic

Well today, I went out car shopping. Went to go look at 'Vettes and met a VERY well connected individual who confirmed the existence of the Camaro and a '07 timetable (he was a little cagy as to wether this meant production or tooling). How well connected? Connected enough to have Dave Hill's personal phone number on speed dial. I am sure alot of people will cry BS, but I am being intentionally vague to protect the interests of the individual in question. Any doubt I had, however niggling, is now offically dispelled.

I did not ask any specifics; not sure that this person would have had any, but I figured it was better to be discrete and not pry, the confirmation was enough to make my day.

Oh, and the 'Vettes were simply unbelievable. The GT500 MAY end up being faster than a C6 Z51, but nothing short of the Ford GT supercar will ever touch one in all around panache!

Re: Another 07 camaro pic

hmmmm, you sound honest but ill still call BS, unless of course you offer up some of this "timetable" that another reputable person can confirm?
