In my opinion...

I feel odd making this my first post in so many months, BUT...


What good is a new Camaro without T-tops??! Half the fun of owning a z28 is a midnight cruise with no destination in particular on a warm summer night with the tunes cranked and the wind in your hair.

Oh, and the interior is god awful looking. Should the car make it to production I hope they make it more appealing inside.

That is all.

Re: In my opinion...

Well there will be changes to the interior as has been told but alot of the design will stay . T-tops will be nice when ever for those that like them but they do need a Vert

Re: In my opinion...

there's always a convertible, but t-tops are the best of both worlds to me. Structural rigidity of a hardtop, open air feeling of a 'vert.

Re: In my opinion...

Interior = that is subjective taste. There are a lot of folks that think the outside is ugly too (me not being one of them).

As for the T's....I like them too, but they just wouldn't look right on this particular car. Plus perhaps T-tops have a certain hillbilly stigma attached to them? That may be reaching a bit too far but it seems to to me the car moves upscale w/o the T-top consideration, and the cars should be cheaper across the board since even hard top 4th gens were engineered under the skin for the T-top setup.

Re: In my opinion...

Is there any chance for a targa? T-tops were great in the Camaro but now that I've got a Vette I'm totally into the targa one piece roof. A little harder to remove/replace solo but worth it IMO.

Re: In my opinion...

The interior just need to be toned down a bit. And no guages on the console, talk about taking your eyes off the road!

As for T-tops--I am hardtop guy. T-tops do not make a Camaro. RWD, V8,2 dr, 2+2 does.

I've come to the conclusion that T-tops on this car would look awful. Thank of an 80s Mustang coupe with T-tops, and you get the idea. The new Mustang would (and will) look great with them, but without the thick "B" pillars, the car isn't going to look right.

As for the interior, I actually like it myself.

Irrational much??

T-Tops Suck as far as im concerned. They are far from the be all, end all that everyone makes them out to be. I have them in my 3rdgen, and I could definitely live without them, so to say they shouldnt make a 5th gen without t-tops is just downright retarded.

The interior is god aweful eh? how about offering up some suggestions then... I for one liked it. It wasnt so cookie cutter as alot of stuff looks today.

All in all, I would say your opinions werent missed in the absence of posts.

Re: In my opinion...

I don't know if I'd like T-tops on this car or not either, but since so many people seem to want them, I think that would be a worthy task to undertake; to offer them as an option and make them look good.

I've only seen pictures of the interior and it's tougher to get a 'feel' for it, as opposed to the exterior of the car, so I can't really weigh in on that. In a way I don't see why we can't have the gauges down where they were, if they're not the most used ones that a lot of people look at, like the speed and gas gauge!

Re: In my opinion...

Im sure the people that did the Avalanche will have something special for the roof . No way in hell it will be T-tops , but how can they turn there head on the ordering popularity @ $1000 a pop on the last model .

Flip side ....

Mustang sells hand over foot without so much as sunroof option for years .

Guess we'll see in 200?

Re: In my opinion...

I LOVE t-tops but they would look odd on this car...

Targa is a great idea though!
