Arrow NEWS: Tall, Grande, Venti: GM releases extra large version of Camaro pic

Filed under: Spy Photos, Coupes, Chevrolet

You might wonder how many times we are going to report on the same photograph. We first showed you the unwrapped Camaro after Lutz commanded it to go without camouflage, but the photo was no more than a thumbnail. We next brought you a slightly larger version along with photoshopped versions showing what the Camaro would look like in a variety of colors. Now in our (hopefully) final post on the photo, we bring you a high resolution version practically straight out of the camera. You can now inspect all of the pre-production details without squinting at your screen and speculate to your heart's desire.

So much for the "two-dashes" theory.

Never thought I'd say this (only because the concept is such a beautiful car) but I'm actually starting to like the slightly softer lines of the production car MORE than the concept Next year can't get here soon enough

...and I still think the wheels are 18's.

The lines are slightly softer, but because the pre-production car is also slightly larger, it looks more muscular. It hasn't lost the attitude that the concept had.

I don't think the Camaro has any softer lines than the concept. I think the body in white of this pre-production car tones them down visually but the crisp hard lines are still there. Looking at this pic with the larger and higher resolution pics shows more of those lines than the blurry pics we've seen so far. Take notice of the door for instance there is a lot of crisp and cut body lines there. The hips are there too. There have been tweeks but overall this is right on with the concpet for all the hard body lines that we loved.

I think it looks "softer" because the dash to front axle length is shorter, the door to rear axle length is longer and it also has a longer deck.

It's the proportions.

Car looks great but I think they should have made the side view mirrors more rounded and smooth instead of what looks like to be "blocky"....

Is this known info or just a guestimation? I don't remember any measurements being released on the Camaro production car.

IMO if you take the white car in the pic and put the same wheel/tire package as the concepts, lower it and put a killer show quality paint job on it they would about the same. (Save the rear bumper, mirrors and no spoiler)

The angle of the photo also makes the rear look longer than the front, however there have been some adjustments over the concept.
