Re: Is this still the closes illustration of what the next Camaro might look like?

I'm not a big fan of the sharp crease in the front quarter panel that extends all the way to the doors on that pic. I'm sure that GM would be able to graft a curvaceous front end that looks aggressive without incorporating the sharp creases.

I'm a fan of clean styling cues. Nothing tacky. The Mustang is a beautiful example of clean, fuss-free styling. Yet it looks both attractive and aggressive.

Please GM, don't go the tacky route with Camaro!

Just my 2c.

I actually like Kris's RS inspired version best of all.

Probably too "retro" to ever see production.

The kid does have mad skills though...

How about going "retro" and bringing back the ZL-1 cowl induction?

Scoops are for Pontiacs. Cowls are for Chevy. That should be the design philosophy.

FWIW, this is my favourite picture. Mean, lean, fighting machine...

**** I like them all. As long as they bring back the Camaro, I'm satisfied. Even if I don't necessarilly like the the 5th gen's looks, there's (hopefully) going to be the 6th gen, and then the 7th, 8th, etc. Just seeing the Camaro back in production is all I want.

Re: Is this still the closes illustration of what the next Camaro might look like?

Out of all the drawings and renderings that have been thrown around, non of them stack up to the beauty of Crispey's version. As long as it has a V8 and RWD, I WILL buy that car.

The only thing I'd be concerned about is the possibilites with the roof (t-top, targa)

Think how cool that car would look with a convertable too.

Re: Is this still the closes illustration of what the next Camaro might look like?

I haven't seen it posted in awhile and I do not know where to get it, but Super Chevy showed an artist's idea for a 5th gen Camaro way back in 2000 or 2001. That car was gorgeous. I think there were 2 drawings. A front angle with the car in red and a rear angle in black & white. I'd like to see that concept again. Anyone know where to find it?

I personally can't stand the car that this topic is based off of... the front is kinda ok, but the rest of it is UGLY! some people on here might think I talk $#!^...so I'll just have to put my drawing of what the new Camaro should look like, so I'll start drawing the final versions of different views and get them scanned and posted.
