I think the Camaro will be Chevrolet's last chance for any kind of comeback. How much of a comeback will it be? Good question. For the sake of Chevrolet, I hope the Camaro comes back in full force. Like Joe said, it will have to be spectacular to compete with MOPAR and even Ford. Being a Chevrolet fan/owner for many years, it is hard to watch what is happening to GM.

That concept is wild.
If Mopar makes the production model similar to that concept...
I think they would be hitting another home run.

I'd have to agree...hard to watch GM crumble from what it once was.This concept is awesome and believe me,the Mustang with the proper bod mods is a head-turner too.

GM,get your heads out of your a**es and get that Camaro built...and right!

WOW! I like it. I have no doubt that GM will screw up the new Camaro.

I love it. After looking at my 70 & 71 Challenger rear ends just now, I think they did pretty well. That burnt orange one reminds me of a 71 model, now if they would only offer 20 different color choices like the original cars in 70 & 71......gotta build em' first though.

GM management ought to be ashamed of themselves. Chrysler has always been a little creative
and daring. Quality Control problems haunted them for years but since merging with Daimler they
seemed to have cleaned up their act and they are building exciting cars that make you want to stop
and look in the showroom. The only GM I would even bother to look at is the Z06 or a Truck.

My gut is telling me not to get too excited about the Camaro debut...their past history of resurrecting nameplates is not flattering in the least...and right now, GM is basically focused on bailing water out of a sinking ship...

I haven't given a modern Mopar a second thought (excluding the Viper), but this baby floats my boat. The styling is there, yeah its retro and a bit daring (where is the sloping aerodynamic hood with C/D in the twenties?). Very aggressive stance, worthy of the title "muscle car" with a beastly modern 425 HP Hemi. If you have never had the pleasure of rowing a Hurst Pistol Grip, you are missing one of the sweeter pleasures of life. I concur w/ "71-LS6" - give me High Impact colors out the whazoo! Just imagine.... Go Mango, Sublime, Plum Crazy, Hemi Orange, Top Banana, Green Go, or for the daring, Panther Pink.

Did I mention this car excites me?
