Number 3 is the closest, the rest are just photoshopped. They have some accurate drawing on the BON fourms according to those who have seen them... and there seems to be quite a few over there.

This sounds familiar to what someone else is doing... Yeah, but during the hiatus a parts supplier for the original Camaros copyrights "Z/28". Chevy, not wanting to pay excessive royalties to use the name, has no choice but to call their new V8 Camaro a "Camaro 28" (the Nissan folks balk at "Camaro Z").

Or they could leave replicas to aftermarket kit car companies and make their own original 5th gen Camaro!

Life is all about perception. Thast why no matter how well the Chevy Malibu does in the JD initial quality test, the general public will still tell you that an Accord or Camry is a better quality car. You cant expect consumers to know everything. If the consumer doesnt know, they wont buy the car. You have to take advantage of the average car buyers ignorance. What other car can you think of that has 8 different trim levels?

quionM, do you ever check your PM's? i sent you a PM a week or so back and never got a reply. It was concerning something i've heard on another board about the next gen GT coming out with a 5.0 Sohc.

Man, those first 2 pics look like the car is based on the Cougar platform. That would suck quite a bit.

Thumbs down

number77 - I hope to heck that's not the next Mustang. Looks like a Kia... with 1.6 square miles of front end plastic and smiling slit-width headlights. Ugh. Plus the same old weird curving roofline and lack of defenses against door dings.
