Re: Hidden in plan view?

2 and 3 share the same fender lines...they are better looking on the Nomad. I am guessing that what is being said, is that we'll see 3 with the rear end of number 4.

what i don't understand is how the GTO plays into this. any clues?

Crispeys Camaro is the only one I've seen where the split bar actually works with the 69 front end. Though If I bought the car I would probably take it off or black it out

the overall shape of the greenhouse is the only thing i can see that would be part of the 5th gen.

Here's a pretty good view of the rear, originally posted by krazycowgirl:



If you cover up those HUGE fenders(or hips as I like to call them) with your index and pinky(making the death metal sign ) you can see a distinctive rear end.

Looks a little like the Mercedes CLS rear.

Re: Hidden in plan view?

I liked the one, when in Red color, I can't remember the thread, but I liked it more than most of the concepts.

Just like to see the front look a little more modern.

They all seem to have a Retro-Forward theme.

Re: Hidden in plan view?



Take the side profile of the first one and hints of the greenhouse...........

Then take the side fender creases of the 2nd one.......and possibly the front bumper grill area.........

Greenhouse area, nose elements, elements from the body from the hoodline up or belt line if you wanna call it that down the side of the car...........................

And of course the taillights position of Chevy badge and a variation of the rear bumper.......

I think you might have quite a decent looking Camaro there

Re: Hidden in plan view?

Since the gto concept dates back to 1999, I think it has nothing to do with the upcoming Camaro. As far as we know, work on the next Camaro started years after this concept was unveiled. I've always thought that the nomad and the ss styling concepts could be related to gauging interest for a new camaro though. We'll find out soon enough won't we?

I don’t think Guy is saying they did the GTO concept with intentions of using its style on the new Camaro, but that cues from these concepts will be incorporated.

But once again, even though I’m sure there are blatant cues right in front of us with these previous concepts, I’m not going to worry about them until the Camaro is unveiled.

I can’t make a judgment until I see it all together.

And past that I’m not going to make my final judgment until I see it in person in Dallas later this spring.

Re: Hidden in plan view?

1) Eww
2) Gross
3) Too soft; needs work.
4) Not bad; too Corvette-ish.

How difficult would it be to take the styling of a 1969 Camaro and bring it into the present?

Re: Hidden in plan view?

Without further explanation, you can't really surmize anything. Once I see the concept I think I'll go back to this post. Maybe then it'll all make sense. Puzzle pieces are coming together and we can almost make out the picture.
