Ok Scott I don't really have time to discuss my likes, many, or dislikes, few, but I would like to get feedback from you on 1 thing. How old is the leaked clay? What I mean is, is this REALLY the car we will see in Detroit? Or will we see an evolution of this car?

 

I missed the pictures here but was able to find them on the net somewhere else a few minutes ago.

Even though its not the final product and the actual Camaro at NAIAS will be better all I can it's....

HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

To those at GM responsible , I say "Great Job" !!!!!!!

 

One additional comment:

I am disappointed to see just a Chevy bowtie on the front and rear.

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....

 

I really like the car...it surpasses my expectations! I like pretty much everything about it! My 2 cents...

- prefer the passenger side front...the round foglight on the driver side doesn't seem to go with the rest of the car. The tailights and headlights look mean, as does the foglights on the passenger side.

- rear exhaust is the only thing i'm not sure of. I really would like to see it with rectangular tips like the LT1. I think that would fit with the tailights much better.

Thats it! Keep the rest of the exterior the same! Have no comment for the interior as concepts rarely look like production anyway.

 

I have only see 1 pic (silver 3/4 view) and from what i saw, it is pretty much exactly what I expected. The car pictured is definatly retro showing only 1st gen design cues. I would say that it is at least as retro as the Mustang. It looks like a 1st gen with modern fender flares. I can't really say I am dissapointed because I have been conditioning myself to accept the reality that the "new" Camaro will be a retro 1st gen. If you like retro cars, then this car should be great for you. I will still wait to see the finnished concept and other pictures before I totally decide to get a Corvette.

 

Agreed put the same talent on the next GTO styling as well. The "Camaro" concept is styled right, it says something about today and yesterday, without totally diving off into the retro years. Perfect balance IMHO.

I agree with Scott, nothing compares to seeing it in the flesh. Don't know what is but the true in your face I can see it touch it does something to the senses. This same sensation most likely made me choose the GTO over the Mustang. Not from a "gotcha" styling perspective but the overall well thought out "package" that makes up the GTO. It just did the right thing to the senses when up close and personal with it.

My perception of what I see. I like the blend of creases and smooth lines. Both and work nicely within themselves and contribute to the design presence. Love the stance. Love the wheels. The greenhouse looks absolutely perfect. Seems the theme of "squared off top lighting" of the lighting works very well on the front. I can see some of the same in back (tail lights, exhaust tips), not sure how well it works there. Especially on the exhaust. If someone puts different exhaust/tips on the car would it loose part of it's intended design? The inset headlamps look awesome and give the car a menacing look in a appealing way. Love the way to cabin/greenhouse seems to set back toward the rear. The long hood reminds me of a 2nd Gen sort of. The small but noticeable cowl is a must have.

Love the interior styling flow from the dash and into the door panels. One of the reasons I like the current GTO interior so much. It just all works together and looks purposefully laid out. Often door panels look like an afterthought, but not in this sketches. Not much on the square trim around the speedo and tach. A more modern gauge setup would be more appealing. This is one of the major dislikes I have about the current Mustang as well. I do like the idea of gauges in the console however.

Awesome job to the design team. Can't wait to see what the final concept looks like in January!!!!

And Scott I've already starting the thought process and positing of what to do with the current GTO should a version of this concept become available to purchase at a dealer. So in case GM is looking for my reaction.... You build it, I'm buying it!!! Coming from four time F-body owner.....Does this say the right things?

 

Very much agree.

 

I just keep thinking "Merry christmas to me"!! This is exactly what I wanted. A few small things here or there but I would stand in line to buy it! Did I mention I love it??

 

I just saw the pics...missed them on here yesterday, somehow!!

In a word: Gorgeous. I cannot wait to see this car in person. I have been one of the most anti-retro people on this board...and I love it. The sides look like an XK8 to me, more than a '69. I see second gen influence in the greenhouse. I LOVE the tailights. I LOVE the exhaust tips, and hope those make it to production.

It has the retro nose I figured it would, but everything else is a major surprise. I love it. It would look great in a garage next to a 3rd and 4th gen. What do I not like? I know there were some 11th hour changes to the nose, and I hope they "modernized" the nose a little. With such a lithe and agile profile, sides and tail, to put a somewhat-blunt nose on it detracts a little.

Overall though, I'm in love Scott, kudos to the design team. I cannot wait until 1/9 now!!!!!

 

I hope that dashboard rendering is no where near what the actual interior will look like because it is hideous. On the other hand, the concept showing the front and rear seats looks really good, especially the rear seat treatment.

The rear shot of the car is not good at all. Definatly needs some sort of spoiler................although, maybe this is supposed to be a base model car.

On a side note, it looks like the pics were taken at the same place where all the C5 clay model pics were taken.

 

those pics are so ****ing sexy, cept for the mirrors, and something needs to be done with the rear.

please, for the love of god, use atleast let it have good window motors.

and it better stay close to the concept(Side Profile,front), goddammit.

I can imagine one of these Trans Am(Race) Style

 

After reading some comments I've got a little bit to add:

I'd like to see a duck tail like spoiler on the rear.

T-tops are a must.

As Darth mentioned, it needs to have the Camaro shield on the front somewhere.

Its interesting to note that there isn't a Z28 or SS badge on it. One more thing to look forward to in regards to the finished concept. IIRC, the Mustang concept had GT on the fender.

 

The more I look at it, the more I love it. 9.5/10. Looks like a cross between a 68 Camaro, and a C6 Z06.

Things I'd like to see:
HID's, and LED taillights.
A Camaro emblem in the front, along with the one on the rear being more recognizable as "Camaroish" <-----is that even a word ?
A lip spoiler that looks like it goes with the car, not something tacked on as an afterthought.

Overall I can't wait to see it in Dallas, and chat with ya Scott. Any chance the 1/4 windows will roll down ?

 

I can't find the pic!

 

I think the design is on the right tract. The exterior looks very nice. I hope the inside, primarily the dash gets a complete overhaul. Those gauges looks very retro like. I much prefer the modern look. Good job guys. Can't wait to see the real thing in Detroit.
