Nope, must have missed that memo.

So,

What is the concensous here - is this the car we are going to see at NAIAS next month or not? Or is it going to be completely different?

 

we even have the pics posted in a thread on this site.......it's in the lounge.

Not completely different but there WILL be changes.

 

I hope it's not too different. For one thing they got the overall look and stance NAILED! Also, I love the shape of the greenhouse. I think the front to rear 3/4 profile is awesome.

To me this design is not completely retro. Sure it has a few hat-tips to the first generation, but overall it is a purely modern interpretation of the muscle/pony car.

 

A few thoughts from "Mrs. Clean":

1. My family had a '68 Camaro which was the first real car I remember, so naturally, I have a very soft spot for Camaros. I really like the retro styling of the concept. It reminds me very much of the '68 Camaro.

2. Please offer it with a red interior.

3. Please consider keeping it as true to the first generation as possible. If Ford can accomplish having a retro Mustang, GM can surely accomplish having a retro Camaro.

4. I like the interior - what I can see of it, anyway. What about a bench seat in the back? ? Our '68 had a bench seat, and my sister (who was 16 at the time) and I (8) could easily and comfortably ride in the back seat.

Just please do whatever it takes to make this a car that people will recognize and want to buy! Can't wait to see the real thing!!

 

Oh my god NO! One of the only things I like about the whole concept is the rear seat treatment. Sadly, the way things are going, a bench seat doesn't seem too far fetched.

 

nice of you to join us Mrs. Clean.

 

They wern't allowed, but now I guess they are. Things are happening too fast to keep up!

 

I don't think the car is as retro as everyone is making it out to be. I personally like the passenger side front overall with the driverside foglights.
I like the greenhouse. The rear quarter definately screams '69 as do the side vents(these need to change IMO) I also liked the speed lines on some of the concepts but that might be too much for some people.
The rear is a little too high but definately not retro. I see a little Z06 in it. I don't know which side of the rear I like better but leaning toward the driver side. I like the squarish taillights but wouldn't be dissapointed with some C6ish rounds.

I'm exited about seeing the final version in Jan. I am also ready to see what kind of engines will be available and when I will actually be able to take delivery of mine.

 

Scott,

sorry to see that it was leaked out!!! nice to see something though

as far as my .02....

yeah it looks cool, needs a few things tweaked as other people mentioned, but why go retro???? nott that it matters what i think, millions of dollars in design, tools, etc. etc.... has gone on. someone else had mentioned why not build a car that suits the times. i mean the 4th gen f bod is awesome looking, no it didn't look like a first gen, but if i wanted a first gen i would have bought one.

either way, take care of yourself and hopefully see you around at some local events in like 5 months, lol!!!

Just don't put the engine under the dash in this car. Pretty please.

 

I hope they aren't flooded with ridiculous demands that end up screwing things up.

 

The more I look at this pic the more it looks like a Vette with a Camaro front end. Look at the lines down the side.

I think the Camaro is as retro as the 300C. In other words it may look "retro" but at the same time it also looks like a fresh design.
