Yet another.....but really nice, 5th gen concept......
I like this guys talent and some of the body lines....especially the side view....the front is a little F&F for me, but there's something there.

I pretty much like that whole car except for a few things, ESPECIALLY that wacky front bumper. (but the GFX are kinda cool) Rims look like a blend of IROC-Z and TT2's.
Things I would change:
-More Third Gen or 1st Gen front.
-Have the taillights cut into the body.

The front....
......facia is the area needing the most work......
I think the large openings under the headlight areas would look much better as flush bodywork with the foglight opening only.
I really like the modern rendition of the 69's sculpted side body lines.....I've been trying to imagine these for a while.....nice job I think.

The best part about it IMO, is that eventhough it retains some early Camaro cues...there is no doubt that this is a modern design.

-Greenhouse/roofline are a complete ripoff of 1st gen.
-Side body cutouts are a complete ripoff of '69 Camaro.
-Front spoiler is a complete ripoff of '85 and up 3rd gen.
-Hood scoop is a complete ripoff of ZL2 hood.
-Muscular shoulder crest on rear quarters, are a complete ripoff from 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen.
-Those 5 spoke wheels are a complete ripoff of all the 5 spoke Z/28 wheels from '70 thru '92.
See, I guess it's all in the way you look at it .

I cannot believe that I've just spent 10 min staring at this drawing. It's really nice and captures the essence ( I'd say DNA..but that's so overused), of what a modern Camaro should look like.
One thing that I agree with Doug on, is the nose, however.
I hope it has 4 round tail lights.
