With the two different front ends, the pics must be from early in the development stages.

Lets see the rest of your concept, John. :thumbsup:

those pics are being removed from every website that GM finds them on.

Yeah, that's why I didn't post 'em on here. Guys over on that forum are emailing them around already. To remove 'em woul dbe like trying to put your finger in all the holes in the leaking dam.

I think GM definately did a nice job atleast as far as the direction of these photos show. Very hot - loving that front end!

I love the car overall.

A couple things I am not too crazy about. the side mirrors look like daggers or something. The headlights...I dunno just don't look quite right. I would like to see something round. From the doors back the car is on track, awesome body.

I think Chevy is making a big mistake if it looks anything like that. the majority of the people want a more retro look, like the Mustang and the Challenger spy photo.

I understand that its just a concept and its not a real car you can see the jack stands under it holding it up.
I hope that this was a big marketing/publicity scam by GM and the car they unveil in January will be more retro looking.

If Chevy wants camaro sales to compete with the Mustang and the upcoming Challenger you would think it would be more retro looking.

Can you explain to me how you update a retro design, or refresh it?..Is Ford going to do a Mustang II next?....Retro, to the extent the Mustang is done is great short term, for a few years, until everyone has one, then how do you make a new design for the Mustang, when for all practical purposes, this one was was designed 40 years ago? A modern and forward looking car with some retro touches is a much better way to go in my opinion....

I agree completely. Sure, a lot of people like the new (old-wannabe) mustang, but will the next one go "modern" again? Where do you go from there? If it changes too much, people will have the same "that's not a mustang" attitude that they have (for no reason...) with the current GTO. (...couldn't "ruin" the GTO name any worse than they did in '74)

With this camaro, it's easy... go completely modern, or have the next one have some cues from the early 2nd gens. Either way works.

Nooooooo!!! I don't want a retro Camaro! :willy:

Look at the all the potential sales that the new GTO has lost with the looks. Lots of diehard fans that just didn't buy it cause of the bland styling.

Oh well its just my opinion.
