Get rid of the blended mirror humps, it's gotta have more roof or backseat passengers will need to lean forewards...the rest looks like one of the BEST renderings I've seen to date..

 

Personally I also liked this evolutionary look done by 90 Z28SS.

It says Camaro to me with out blatantly take cues of other generations.

 

I think everyone is worrying to much, and many of the people complaining now about sketches will be lining up to buy one when it comes out, or even when REAL PHOTOS are available.

A new camaro with LSx, T56, modern interior and gas mileage, with any kind of sleek camaro look, will satisfy most, and this kind of argument will be in the background

of greater concern to me is the name. im more likely to not buy the new coupe under another name, than i am to turn down a camaro bc of a grill or fender. (for the sake of argument however, i will mention that i think 1st gen camaros are gods gift to automotive looks, so I have no major problem with the current sketches)

 

One more time....

GAD DANG NOW THATS A CAMARO!!
not retro at all, but you know when you look it, thats a Camaro!!
OMG Big Al wants that!!

 

I think 90Z28SS has more imagination than GM! There's only a few things I'd change about that car, otherwise it would sell. Keep retro for the wierd people. Don't forget to put "Designed by little kids" below the ever so cool blended mirrors on the retro car.

 

yeah, i could see that passing as a camaro

 

Good Damn, now that is SEXY! Where do i sign up?

 

jg95z28, since you seem good at this, would you make a few mods to this design by my request? I like how you sloped/raked the entire front and windshield, but the whole design needs work.

-Take away blended mirrors, add sharp edged Third-like ones.
-Make the quarter crease stop before the door and not go into it.
-Make fenders cut more, as to show the tires.
-Make spoiler wrap around.
-Make hood and entire front in more of a V shape.
-Take away chrome bar and Chevy emblem. Try to add lights and pockets like this car: http://community.webshots.com/photo/...05483379LZfWeH Revise grill and add Camaro emblem.
-Make lower grill in the shape of an IROC-Z/LT1 grill. Use LT1 width, use IROC-Z overall size. Add squared-off lights on each side.
-Take away openings next to parking lights and move them in closer to the lower grill.
-Add lower front bumper extension or spoiler. Could also try some actual GFX on the whole car.

 

So you are saying that GM has no choice but to go to a retro design or else the Camaro will be a big failure? Sounds like you just want it to join the Mustang in retroland. If you have learned one thing about the Camaro's demise, you should know that it had nothing to do with styling.

God I hope the Camaro will not be retro!

 

As much as I think that retro blows... Styling had a lot to do with killing the fbody. I think that the 4th gen was just getting long in the tooth stylistic wise. If it was a bit more exciting, GM might have acutaly been motivated to develop or use another chassis for the 5th gen in 03. But the sebring-esque front end, and other issues helped kill this car sales wise.

 

This is the worst post I have seen you make.

For real reasons why the F-Body died... all 100 billion of them, please re-read the last 3 years of posts here.

 

I love the front end on this one.
