Oh NOes!1! The're going to use up all teh intraw3b!

This really is kinda pointless though, all of these have been posted and discussed ad naseum and as we have no real world from GM on anything...

But since we're on topic. I like the red one and the green one Horton did. And those are probably the only two, out of all we've seen.

Do you actually think that GM actually released a design to the public of a car that won't be out till 2007 at the earliest??

Before you start bashing GM's designs, you had 1st better make sure they came from GM, and not the demented mind of yet another photochopper.

I guess I have been under a rock. The only time I really get a chance to look at this site anymore is when I'm working 3rd shift on the weekends. I fgured the *** nasty designs were from GM by going from thier prior design wonders. Like the Aztec, Alvalance, Grand Am, Sunfire and every other bubble wonder car they've recently made.

One thing I've learned about so called "concepts" that appear on the internet is that most all of them are bullsh*t. Anything that comes out of GM design someone is going to photoshop, slap a bowtie or a chrome bar on it, and call it a Camaro concept. Most of it borders on the absurb and the downright stupid!

I can imagine photoshop being around in 1969, and someone taking a picture of a Nova sedan and photoshopping it and calling it a 1970 Camaro concept. Or perhaps taking a 1978 Malibu, and photoshopping it and calling it the 3rd gen Camaro. That's how ridiculous some of this stuff has gotten.

GM has high security surrounding it's designs since someone smuggled out pics of the 4th gen back in '89, and sold them to Car & Driver. GM made an example of the guy, and not only fired him, but also sued him & brought criminal charges against him as well.

Bottom line is that unless it's shown at an Auto Show, is a GM released picture, or is under camoflouge in a spy picture, treat it as the efforts of someone with alot of time on their hands.

There is a rendition here on this site that was put together by people who have actually seen the proposed car either in passing or at a consumer clinic. However, that car has since been changed somewhat, though the basics are still the same.

Until the car is actually unveiled, or one of the car rags pays off someone to describe the car to one of their artists (not likely till a year or less before introduction), that's the best we're going to get.

You know what I just noticed? People who are really crappy at photoshop usually make better car designs than the people who are really good at photoshop. Some of those concepts just make me sick to my stomach. They almost all look like trucks. Kris's stuff is good, but I'm not crazy about how retro it is. His newest one that looks sort of like a 2nd Gen is pretty nice though.

I think I found the picture you are looking for. In this article:
http://popularhotrodding.com/features/0409phr_camaro/

At the bottom of the article, the 2nd last picture.

Also in the article, you will see a picture of an Opel Insignia concept. This concept was used to make this supposed camaro concept picture:
