I think it looks cool. But why no two door? Would it really be so difficult? The interior is kind of strange, but I like it a lot. I love the tail lights! Very cool, IMO.

Its a Chevy Rx8. I think it looks better than the Rx8 though. Make it w/ a LS1 and price it mid 20s, 5 or 6k below the GTO and I might consider it.

Thumbs up

I think it was Doug or Werm that said that the SS had design elements of a Camaro. Covering up the roof & the rear door handle, I think he's right.

Good looking car.....especially the interior!

Ok, chop off two doors and would you take it as a Camaro? I think I would.

I like the profile action shot. Yes, cool interior. Things are starting to not look so bleak for GM's cars now.

Cool

Two BIG thumbs up! Looks thoroughly modern with old school Chevy styling cues. Exactly what I would want in the next Camaro.

look at the interior pic..
as cool as that is, its not Chevy style.. round air vents are a pontiac trademark, chevy doesnt so that. So I dont know how far this concept is, but I cant see chevy making it for a few other reasons.

I think I would, too! Very nice looking. Does anyone know about the drivetrain, etc? Is it an LS1?

I believe the show car had a 6 liter V8 pushing 430 horses.

Looks too much like some luxury car. I'd never buy it. I'll still to my 69 and my TA.

As a whole, I like it. The tail lamps look awesome. I'm not big on the new Chevy corporate chrome bar across the grill though.
