Re: Camaro reveal news
Roof line's nice. Cowl induction? Curves of the profile are pretty cool, too. Though the edges and angles of the nose/tail seem inconsistent - from a different project, maybe? Z06 drivetrain'd go a ways toward curing what ails the aesthetic, for me. That said, the Challenger's all of a piece. Same the GT500.

Re: Camaro reveal news
I really don't care for the large wheel lips or whatever you would call them. They look as out of place on the Camaro as they do on the base C6. At least they got it right on the Z06...if you compare the Z06 wheel lips with the base C6, it looks like the Z06 is how the car was supposed to look and the C6 looks chunky and out of place.

Re: Camaro reveal news
At least they got away from the "GENERIC" styling---It's got Caddy dna, but it is a workable platform--If they can smooth the angular lines out a bit and maybe go down a shoesize or two in the tires,I think maybe you might just find a
 first run of Camaros --I just hope they follow thru with production ---------It's a first step towards the light......

Re: Camaro reveal news
I think it needs a more pronounced hood scoop...the cowl hood lines get lost in all the other lines on the car...I would like to see the stingray style hood on the car...can anyone photoshop that?...similar to what was mentioned before, if I saw this car in my review mirror I would think it was a caddy...it needs to look more aggressive from the front and a more noticeable hood scoop would help - I think...

I think the car has an interesting look/appeal...but as presented, it just comes up short of earning the Camaro badge, IMO. [/ QUOTE ] My sentiments exactly.

Re: Camaro reveal news
They debuted the red (non-operational) Camaro concept at the LA auto show yesterday. Caught everybody by surprise including the GM people at the show. The guy who had to talk about it was called in early so he could cram for the show. He was pretty nervous that he was going to flub up the details. In person I thought the car was pretty cool and the designer was there so I told him so. Yes, I could stand for a little different grille treatment but if this is what they come out with, I would definitely buy it. To me, it earns its Camaro stripes.
-Jon P.S. Looks like we might actually be able to see more than the front 1/4 of the engine when we pop the hood on this one. That 4th-gen situation did not do it for me. Might as well weld the hood closed.
