I don't think that is all that bad really, except it really needs a lower grille like a 3rd or 4th Gen in there to break up all that dead space in the lower front fascia.

Might look better if you drove it into a wall.

I think the front end of the car is way too Corvette-like. But the rest of the car looks like it could be a good basis for a Camaro. It just needs an appropriate front-end.

Thats what I'm thinking. Put differant head lights and add a grill (NO CHROME BAR) and I might give it a

I think the rear fender looks great and overall the concept is nice, however that front C6 end doesn't fit in with the "Camaro" design.

Still it's a great atempt

Re: Nice 40th anniversery Camaro Concept

I agree with some of the other guys, front needs to be totally different, but from the front wheels back I like the overall shape

I don't know. If that came out, I just might have to rescind my firebird only stance.

Re: Nice 40th anniversery Camaro Concept

This concept reminds me of the trashed C5 concepts that were revealed in ACAR during C5's design phase. The reasons were pretty obvious....too cartoonish, too angular, too space-age, definitely no production potential.

Are you guys scrolling to the very bottom where the Camaro drawing is?? It may not be what some of you envision as a new Camaro, but hardly -inducing. I really don't think it's bad at all. Certainly not retro.

Re: Nice 40th anniversery Camaro Concept

indeed. i don't see anything to barf at there. really nice design. obviously way aggressive and not anywhere close to production form, but as a CONCEPT it looks excellent.
