No way is a 4th Gen designer getting his hands on another Camaro!!

RP told me once that the dude that designed the 4th Gen was the same guy who did the Third Gen, (that really amazed me) and it was not the name you just said, I don't recall who it was.

You are wrong. Do a web search on John Cafaro and you will see tons of articles about him designing the 4th gen, and the C5 Corvette.

You are right... I know he did Avalacnhe as well...

I generally like his work... I think he should get a shot at drawing up his ideas for a 5th Gen...

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know about everone else, but I really liked the way the 4th gens looked... the lt1's had an uncanny resemlence to the 3rd gens but with an more modern look, which was refreshing. I also liked the facelift they recieved in 98... Im pretty much a lover of all years of camaros except the mid and late 2nd gen.

I wouldnt mind giving the 4th gen designer another chance, but he is going to have to design something very powerful looking, modern, yet timeless...something that is not going to look old fast...

I hope RP see's this post and repiles. Doh, I just can't recall the dudes name.

IMO, GM needs alot of NEW designers, or some from way back that know what they're doing.

People... Jerry Palmer DID NOT design the 4th gen Camaro.

Jerry Palmer did the 1982 Camaro, and the 1987 Beretta among others...

See link:

http://www.corvettemuseum.com/librar...f/palmer.shtml

For the ump-teenth time, JOHN CAFARO did the design of the 1993 Camaro and the 1997 Corvette...

Well, they should have had him design the 4th Gen too.

But I'm sure RP said in the E-Mail it was him. Maybe they worked together on it?? I know he doesn't work for GM anymore though, I wish. I also like the design of C4's the best out of all of them.
