Hey, why not? The entire current GM lineup wears rainbow-wear sans Corvette.

You'd really be sitting right in front of the rear wheel in that car.

This website has this guy's photoshop of the SS as a C6 Corvette. To me the thing looks more like a future Camaro than a Vette. Just use your imagination.

Soo....you want a 4-door Camaro with rainbow stickers on it.

C'mon, you guys can't be serious, 4 doors?

Why don't you guys just argue that the next Camaro should be a sports-compact car built on the solstice platform. Wait, someone already has argued for that.

Alright then, how about the next Camaro be an SUV. Think of how roomy the interior would be! Handling? We will just lower the new Camaro SUV, and shift it's center of mass downward in order to achieve better handling. And to ***** the SS name some more, we will call it the:

CAMARO SSUV

Oh, I see.....but either way, don't you think I am on to something? I can see the slogans right now: "Chevy: The Heartbeat of Yuppie America." Even Pontiac could cash in on it. "Pontiac: We aren't driving excitement anymore"

You could be but let's not give them any ideas.

RP already said that the SS Concept is not an indication for where Camaro is headed, so for that matter I don't think you have to worry about Camaro Crossovers or anything freakish like that. We don't need no stinkin Camaro family sedan. It needs to follow the 35-year old formula which defined it. If you think about it, the Camaro died true-to-the-formula and died on top. Went out with a bang, not with a whimper. Was faster than the competition each year it was in production. The 5th gen should be the same way. RWD V8 coupe with affordable competition-smoking performance as priority #1, amenities and luxuries as priority #2. If such a Chevy is even built again, then they should consider calling it a Camaro. If it deviates at all from that formula, i.e. having 4-doors, not to mention a Snoopy-looking front nose, then call it SS Concept or whatever else you want..

Thanks GM, another car nobody wants! Put that next to the Vibe, Aztek, and SSR!

HEY! I like my Vibe. I hate saying that though :-)

It's performance is good for an economy car, it sits up 3-4 inches higher than your average car offering good visibility and easy access.

Good mileage, very flexible interior, comfortable ride with good handling.

The cargo area is hard plastic and the back of the rear seats is also plastic. The rear seats fold down perfectly flat offering a very large storage area. I fit my 4 wheels and tires in the back that were wet from the snow when I put my snow tires on. Just had to wipe of the plastic with a towel when I unloaded them

The Vibe is not my type of car, but for what it is, I think it is pretty decent looking...

I certainly think it is better looking than it's Toyota Matrix cousin...

Ok, I understand that there are a ton of nimrods in CZ.com, and every time I leave, I feel a little bit smarter than before, but let me make this clear.

PLEASE SHOW ME WHERE I SAID THAT THE CAMARO "SHOULD HAVE 4 DOORS!"

Did you all fail Comprehension 101? I will greatly pay for everyone to re-take the class AGAIN.

NOBODY SAID THE CAMARO SHOULD HAVE 4 DOORS! Now, READ CAREFULLY BELOW, OKAY?

I SAID "WHO CARES IF THE CAMARO HAS 4 DOORS AS LONG AS YOU DON'T SEE THE OTHER 2 DOORHANDLES?"

I ALSO SAID "IT WOULDN'T HURT IF THEY USED THE 1/2 DOORS LIKE THE SATURNS TO MAKE THE CARS MORE USEABLE."

AFTER I SAID THAT, I ALSO SAID "I WOULD PREFER IT THE CAMARO WAS A 2-DOOR ALSO."

SEE THOSE MAGIC WORDS, "WOULD PREFER?" DO YOU SEE THEM, NIMRODS?

JESUS F*CKING CHRIST! ARE YOU PEOPLE REALLY AS STUPID AS YOU ACT OR DO YOU WANT PEOPLE JUST TO THINK YOU'RE STUPID?!

Ok, now, I understand that the majority of the people in here are 21 year old little big-mouthed stoners and really can't comprehend, so I really try to be patient. I really do. I guess this is what happens when you visit a messageboard where the average age of the members is 3.

So what you're saying is, that you could live with a Camaro that has more than two doors.
