WHy didn't they go with Kris Hortons design...is it because he's "just a kid"...and they didn't want to be shown up?
If that's all GM has to offer...Bye bye...it was nice knowing ya...

I like what GM has better than Horton's.

Chevy just out sold Ford for the first time in 19 years.
It came down to Trailblazer beating Explorer sales.
The skinny..

I agree with you Bob

That looks like a clay "mock-up" and they may have made changes since they did that.

BTW...There should be 2 Camaro concept cars at the show.

I like something about this style, but dont think the side glass fits with the front and rear glass at this point. I've seen Horton's rendition, and there is something of his that doesn't suit me either.

I see a bit of the new C6 in the rear of this design, and would also have to admit that the guys at Chrysler's design team seem to have the upper hand right now. There's just something about those clean old (straight) lines that Chrysler has captured in the NOS ("new old style") Challenger.

I hope someone at GM is getting this, because there is room for improvement on this design. Maybe they could straighten up some of those lines along the rear quarters and take the cartoon steroid effect out of that big &amp; tall rear end. Bring it down low like the sleek but bold challenger rear quarter would nail it down for me and send me into order a new build before they could count their pennies. That and maybe just a hint of the old Rallysport would make me wet. Failing that, they will see another old die hard line up to get a new Challenger come release date.

Man.....saying that kinda hurts

Don't forget concepts are just that concepts!!, most of the time the final design is different or based on.

GM realy need to think about the options available on the car no matter what it looks like. the way they bundle their options sucks, one of the things that killed the third gen, many buyers dont want a luxury car when buying a camaro. i want windows that crank, non power leather seats, i dont need my butt heated for me, abs delete, if possible, and maybe just skip the sound deadener too. the 1LE was the closest thing they came to a stripped down performance model. i want a z06 style camaro, dont need carbon fiber parts though, jsut skip all the crap that make them acceptable to mom drivers without me having to take the car apart to remove it all.
