lol... and you're wondering why... it is relitive what a woman thinks about the car...?

haha... gl with the wife...

 

The finished car will probably differ from the photo, but I give it a 7 on a scale of 10. The Mustang was a 9.9 ( Nothing's perfect!). The '09 Camaro's tailights are wrong, all wrong. They need to be larger and more ovoid, with horizontally split colors for turn and backup. The mirrors are ridiculous, and will not see production. I hope a body-blended mirror will. Fix those things, and we are up to an 8 or and 8.5.

 

See, that's why I like the 3rd and 4th gen cars the best. With a 77 black and gold TA SE next, and a 1st gen car last. I like them all of course (and have given serious consideration to buying one of the new Crate Camaros that can now be built with all new parts, but I digress....), but the jet fighter ones are my favs. I really wanted the 5th gen to be a modernized 4th gen, 1991 GTA, or 89 IROC-Z. T-Tops and all. Retro, sort of - but bitchin' 80s Def Leppard retro, not 60s retro.

However, I realize not everyone is stuck in 1989 like me. And my dream 2009 IROC-Z won't sell to the general public.

So considering that, the unfinished model in the pictures is pretty good. I like the haunches, I dig cars with hips, and my 4th gen certainly has them. I wish it was lower and wider and longer, and less upright and mustangish. But I'm wiling to reserve judgment until I see a finished concept, or a showroom example. And really, as much as I would like it to have t-tops, as long as it has a 6 speed and at least a 400hp/400lb-ft LSx engine then it will be a worthy Camaro.

 

i liked that about my 4th gen too. I hate how the Mustang rides like a passenger car. The Camaro made you feel like you were driving a sports car - because you were.

And I'll agree with Scott. I'd much rather outperform the Mustang in EVERY possible way, as long as sales are good enough to keep the Camaro going.

 

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but please, build the car for tall people too, I'm 6'8", almost 6'9" and my wife is 6'1". I can fit in a 4th gen, but it takes some compromises.

Please, please, please make it comfortable for tall people!!! If it looks half as good as the leaked pics, has a decent engine, and fits, I'll be down at the dealership to order mine.

 

I like what I have seen so far. Aside from a few things here and there I could deal with owning one. I'm just glad that GM is giving the Camaro another shot and I'll leave it at that until the concept is unveiled.

*keeping my fingers crossed and my hopes high*
