Camaro styling hit or miss?

Just a few final observations. You're going to hear this from the glossy mags anyway, so you might as well hear it here first:

Ignoring the front 1 foot of the car I think it's a hit.
I can't stand the front of any of these new bricks err cars though.
They make their 60's equivalents even look skinny and wedge shaped.
Overall I think it will do good.

At least it isn't a Camcordima.

I personally love the looks. It is modern and acknowledges the heritage of the vehicle without being too stuck in the past.

The car is great. Why nit pick? It is what it is. An innovative design that will be affordable.

looks like a wire on the roof

yes it is a preproduction so how can you say it's poor quality already?

short frt/long rr overhang for forward motion look(like the 1st gens and bimmers) If you look at Ferraris, it's the opposite.

Droopy rr bumper?? look to 1st and 2nd gens? they too flow upwards and so do pretty much all sports car to either help down force or give some departure angles. The only thing that is "droopy" is the trunk, if only slightly, but the spoiler brings it back up. If anything it should protrude back more and be a little bigger on the SS.
If a vehicle's trunk is high, flowing upwards or blackening the lower bumper help to visually reduce the size of the rr...
Picture moving the rr wheel back some, does it not look funny? Picture shortening the rr overhang, again, does it not look out of proportion? And how small of a trunk opening do you see? Then what? shorten and make the backlight more upright?

The only thing that bugs me is the head-on photos. The grille/lamps doesn't quite look right. Everything else looks good.

Near hit. Definite miss in some areas. I will probably like it 3rd after Third and First Gens. (and maybe early 2nds, so 3rd 1/2?! ) Regardless, it's a new and modern CAMARO that will hopefully be very customizable through the aftermarket because this car is pretty tame looking compared to other Gens. There are also things I just don't like about it. So, it will never be my favorite, but that doesn't stop me from talking it up and trying to get more interest in it at shows and such.

why are you analyzing an old test mule picture? seems like a dumb move to me. there are plenty of new pics out that you can bitch about in paint

I thought the concept was pretty good looking in pictures, then I saw it in person and was blown away. I think the production version is awesome in pictures, so I fully expect my head to explode when I see the real thing

You might just get blown away when you see it, because the thing is a 4000lb tank. Camaro M1 edtion anyone?
