Motortrend Camaro

THis is probably a repost but what does everyone think of this Camaro design. I kind of like it. I've seen some sketches of what the 5th gen camaro should look like and most have incorporate a front grill which looks good.

Yeah, I kinda liked it too (minus the chrome bar). Very Muscle Tone Just think how easy it would be to carve that out of a monaro

I would like it a little more low profile. I'm not a big fan of the big wheels cars tend to have now.

If GM is reading, make sure that is NOT the next Camaro.

That was from an issue of motor trend from about two years ago. It was ugly then, and it's ugly now. Chances are, the 5th gen won't be retro, especially with Lutz at the helm of GM. Thank god...

It's not ugly, but it just looks old. Pretty uninspiring re-make of the original.

As everyone pretty much knows, I am 100% against retro on a fifth gen Camaro... so, no I do not think this is the direction Camaro should go.

But... I don't think that is the ugliest retro drawing I have ever seen either....

I do like retro, and I do like most of the 5th Gen retro designs I've seen, including the one I've done, but this one is kinda dull.

I get the feeling the camaro is really dead for a few more years if not forever.... Times are changing...

If I'm going to buy a new car, I want it to look like a new car not something from the 60's, even though those cars look and are bad*(*. I don't mind tradition cues, like the taillights on mustangs always having 3 bars or something like that, but to make an entire front end or something completely retro is just

Is this from a couple of years ago, or is this a new article?
