Re: could this be our 5th gen???

To me, it looks like it shares similar lines with Chris Pauwell's sketch, and it does have the long hood/short deck plus the muscular stance. If this really is what the Camaro will be like, I'll take mine in Arctic white with red racing stripes, like the 30th anny package. As for quad doors... I don't really want to see that either, however they would have their advantages. I know that my buddies don't like climbing out of the back of my 4th gen. However, at the same time, the extra apparatus to have quad doors would add weight. Maybe it could be feasible to make quad doors be an optional feature for those who want it?

I would say that it has a very Camaro look to it. I love the quad door but enough on that, since it is on going in two threads. I see a lot of ques from all generations in this. Who knows. Great find Darkangel.

Re: could this be our 5th gen???

did alittle digging on GMI and found a sketch of that model, oddly enough posted by dark angel also(about 2 weeks before he put the model pic up).

http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/a...achmentid=2147

wonder where he is finding all this stuff, and if he posts on here or not?

could this be our leak we have all been searching for???

could this be a GM test to see how we respond???

could this be the end of Batman???

tune in next week to find out...

Re: could this be our 5th gen???

1. i don't care for quad doors
2. the tires make the car look sleeker than it actually will (deception makes me mad).
3. I hope the front end is very original, and not retro.
4. the back end is awesome...but...if this is indeed the Camaro...I'd hope that they don't go an make it bland by the time it hits production.

very interesting. well, regardless of wether it's from GM or not, we are close enough to NAIAS to see "leaks" as we have in the past.

Yea, after some brief searching I am now sad. My expectations also rose.

1st- No quad doors, jmho.
2nd- The orange one strikes me as new Eclipse-like.
3rd- The one on GMI looks nothing like a Camaro, once again, jmho.
4th- I can't get the CDN one to work.

Sorry to disappoint everyone, but...

Here it is (artist Tom Hooper):

Note: It's actually sketched as a Lincoln.

Well, I guess that settles that. Sorry guys.

But I'm sure that soon enough, we'll have something we'll all fall in love with.
