Im still reading the thread, its interesting...
Im not too concerned about the look because compared to 4th gens anything is a vast improvement. And as they keep saying its not like you're going to have the concept next to it in your garage.
So assuming performance is inline, as Im sure it will be. Yes it would be better if it were shorter, lighter etc.. That doesen't seem to be the case with most new cars.

Oh, I will. But I can tell you that my excitement for this car has now decreased. It seems now that we are at the same point size-wise as we were with the original cancelled GMX284 car. The one that everyone on the internet was calling the Chevelle.
As I look at my future finances, I can no longer say I've got a, "this $35K reserved for Camaro", column anymore.

Man, talk about a lot of hand wringing and teeth gnashing....and no facts to back them up.....just speculation and rumor....sounds like the weight conversations all over again.
How many more reasons do some need to invent to rationalize walking away from this car?
If 4 inches gets me a useable trunk instead of a mail slot, then I won't complain....especially on the convertible models....or a rear seat that adult people with legs can use.
Don't get me wrong, I want a car closer to a sports car than a musclecar, but 4 seaters will never replace a Corvette.
I trust the engineers to give me the lightest, smallest Camaro they can....within reason....I don't believe they are magicians though....
