I'm pretty sure RP would take some stuff to heart.
If you know who that is.

Re: Some thoughts on the pictures........
I don't know if anyone has said this yet, i didnt feel like reading through 23 pages of forum, but I have a feeling this is more for a concept of a new Chevelle than Camaro.....call me crazy I just feel thats what this car is. What made me spark the idea was the 4 individual squarish tail lights...

It says camaro on the rear panel, below the squareish taillights. Good point though!

I also like the front, but hope it stays how it is, and let the customization be done by aftermarket companies.

Re: Some thoughts on the pictures........
Well I originally made the comment that I thought the updated SS concept's rear lights looked good and thought they could be used on the leaked car... but they would possibly look out of place considering the car's overall lines.
When considering a design, you just can't chop and change... the look must be integrated throughout the whole car. In other words, the front and rear must be linked and not simply an amalgam of different styles put together.
While we're naturally concentrating on the exterior, I hope the interior impresses as it could put prospective buyers off the car... and into Ford showrooms.

Re: Some thoughts on the pictures........
As a whole I love the car. I change the rear end a little bit, it reminds me of C6 chops in the Caddy Cien. The exhaust pipes are too importy but it's only a clay. It's retro in a good way in the sense that it's very 1st generation with the long hood and short back. I can see clues of recent concepts such as the 99 goat greenhouse. I can't wait to see how the different option packages look on the car.
People please remember that this is clay model that has two different body sizes. (I'll go with the left side) Remember that things on the car may have changed since this photo was taken.
After all of this I can see why Red has been going crazy knowing that Chevy hit David Ortiz long bomb and he can't say anything about it. Red you poor soul, but you get a standing O from me and everyone else around this place. I can't wait to see it in the flesh and with big V8 up front

Re: Some thoughts on the pictures........
This thread holds the record (BY FAR) as the longest I have ever read completely through..... 1 hour and 15 minutes!
God, do I need a life.
I'm thinking this was the Chevy "GTO" when the picture was taken.
The Camaro name was verboten till about a year ago.
I really liked the 4 light treatment, but after seeing this, I might have to change my mind. 
Dead on point!
I suspect you're pretty close.

I'd much perfer a Camaro logo.... a redesign of the traditional "Camaro Ribbon" or "Camaro Shield" or whever you'd like to call it....

now that's hot

2) Same thing on the Front Headlights.
3) Hood line on the Drivers side with shadows and everything looks right, Passengers looks "weird".
4) Same thing on Rear Facia.
5) The window glass. The Glass on the Drivers side looks "real". The glass on the passenger side looks again pasted or drawn on there.
So in my conclusion and I'll have to save it all till January is that the "Drivers side" is what we WILL see (short of minor changes) come NAIAS. The Passengers side? Well, I'll let you make the verdict on that...

They did the same thing with the C6 during its development there were several models split down the middle, one C6 model used camera lenses for the headlights just to give an idea of what the exposed headlights might look like.
