Wrong forum isn't it?

They're still complaining about the headlights.

Huh, 245/45R20 inch tires, I would have thought a bit bigger now, not a bad idea since thats what the Challenger seems to be using (well that is unless they have supply issues)

Aftermarket grills may get to where they'll cover the whole front opening. That will be seriously badass.

Oh and the car looks awesome in black, but it needs a little ducktail spoiler (imho). Also the shields or what have you for the mufflers need to raise up a little, they look silly showing from under the rear bumper.

Other than that, I think it looks pretty good.

Hmm...

I think I just thought of a poll question...

That side window is tiny. The belt line is at the top of the guy's shoulder. There's no way you could rest your elbow comfortably on the window sill. I really don't like that style (it's probably the most significant reason that I have not bought a 300C or Charger R/T). I like to see out of my car.

Do others of you like tiny side window like that?

I must say that I'm not really liking how they did the reverse lights. I'd rather have them as a center circle in the taillights.

Other than that it looks pretty damned good. The back looks a little bit odd to me, but it might just be the pictures.

The black just doesn't look as good as the white (in my eyes).

Just get that XM sharkfin off the car!!!!!!! It looks ridiculous and if the Vette can be hidden why can't it be on the Camaro? Jeez, Xm might not even be around in a month but the wart will be there forever.

Agreed. I'm not a fan of the XM fin either.

I agree. It is a problem with just about all recent cars (fwd and rwd). Look at the greenhouse of the new Malibu compared to the previous one.

If you want something refreshing, get behind the wheel of a Buick Lacrosse, or even an Impala. They came out before this trend came in to full effect, and you can actually see out of them.

I really don't like feeling cramped in the car as a payment for following the current "style."

Also, it is hard for me to get a handle on the size of the new Camaro. I think it looks awesome overall, but when I remind myself that those are 20" wheels, I worry that it is going to be too "thick" when I see the production version (because those big wheels look to be in proportion with the body...)

My Camaro has 17s, and it looks pretty well-proportioned to me...

Exactly Joe. This car swallows those 20's like they were 17's. To me, that tells me this car has substantial mass.

Question: Can you rest your arm comfortably on the window sill of a 4th gen? What about a C6...or C5 Corvette for that matter? As long as it has an armrest built into the door panel to rest my arm on...I'm okay with it.

As for the tiny window...meh? It's definitely an improvement over the 4th gen car's lack of a quarter window...I think I'll be quite happy with it.

I agree. I think big-butt-itis was handed down from the C5 to the F5. The pictures make it look awkward.

And I don't think these were an accident. Too many pictures were allowed to be taken before they "ran" off.

See GM is thinking outside the box.
