Am I the only one that doesnt like th 5th gen ?
I remember seeing another concept car that looked ten times better than what GM came out with.
Anybody remember this ?
The car GM showed us looks too cartoonish. Wheels way to big, windows way too small.. just doesnt do it for me.

With no exaggeration, i wouldn't buy it if it looked like the illustration above.
Yes, the concept has too big of wheels and chopped roof, but still comes away more elegant and purposeful.

i agree that rendering above looks good, but i think i prefer the actual concept..
as for cartoonish.. the one you showed looks 100% more cartoonish, i don't know where you got that from

Hey jfman, you don't like the concept, that's entirely your right. While you are not the only one who doesn't like it, I would say you are in the minority. Question answered 
As far as the rendering you posted, all I can say is thank God IT is NOT the new Camaro

Re: Am I the only one that doesnt like th 5th gen ?
This was one of Kris Horton's computer generated concepts that he did for Popular Hot Rodding a while back. Yes, he is very talented, but I agree, I wouldn't buy this car either....if you look closely, the proportions would not allow for what we all want, a V-8....unless it was going to be halfway in the cockpit with you. And there is hardly a roof at all. Even though the production car will be extremely close to the concept, I think there will be enough changes to it that even those that don't like it will change their minds.......
