I agree, the placement of the backups doesn't seem too creative. I don't know if it has to do with fed regulations, but maybe they can put them inside the tailamps, a-la 1970's camaros?

 

The wheels on the Challenger are 20inch. The mules and the prototype are also supposed to be 20 inch - maybe it's the gap between wheel and arch or just the size of the arches themselves that make the wheels look smaller?

In any case, it'll be easy enough to swap them out with bigger 21/22 inchers to fill the gap!

 

Why couldn't they integrate the backup lights into the visible groove between the painted bumper and the blacked-out diffuser panel that incorporates the exhaust outlets? I'm pretty sure that the groove I am referring to separating the bumper cover and the diffuser on the concept car is mesh. It would be much cleaner looking than the solution used on the pre-production car and not unprecedented either since the backup lights on the C6 are mounted down low by the exhaust tips.

 

I agree with you... they should try to hide those within the lower part of the bumber. Where the tail pipes are.... they would look better and give the back of a car a cleaner look.

 

Heritage?

 

The picture we've seen is a V6 car with 18" wheels. From what I've heard, it's likely that 19" wheels will be available. I suppose 20" is possible too, but I haven't heard anything to that effect. I doubt we'll see 21 or 22-inch wheels on the Camaro from the factory, but there's always the aftermarket!

 

I'd say the rear facia, which is leaning a few degrees towards the car now is a result of a real, legal bumper underneath.

And, Fbodfather already said those back-up lights aren't gonna make it, due to the space being used by wide license plates in other countries.
And, I like the angular side mirrors, they really flow well with the angular body lines.

It's still really hard to read dimensions since those 2 photo's are very different angles, and colors, and the outdoor light is much softer...and those fender flares can cause a little optical shinkage on the concept photo b/c of the angle.

I hope we don't have to walk around to the other side of the car to put gas in it
tho...

Still hoping for a GOOD ducktail spoiler option photo.

 

I don't think so, I think he said they can't be put closer (adjacent to) the license plate area because of that reason? The ones on the car shown are the final design.

 

+1. That's what I remember reading.

 

Hmmm, I guess he'll have to clarify?...
If that's the case, I'd rather see them in the roll pan...somewhere.

 

I believe several people made comments about why not put the lights here:



But I agree, if they could have implemented them into the black thingy (diffuser??) that would be slick. But I have no problem where they are now, the fact that they are so small is awesome to me.

 

Maybe they did the "heritage" thing and stuck it behind the tail light?

 

you mean behind the license plate?

 

No, tail light...

 

but that's not a camaro

the heritage thing would be to put it behind the license plate like the 1st gen camaros
