I second everything on here. I'd hate to see them re-badge like with th GTO, Malibu, and Charger. A return to the short-deck, long-hood look of the Camaro would be good. I'm not a fan of the high-door panel look (a'la 350Z, Audi TT, or G-35), even though they give the look of a "choped hood. I just don;t like the window sills about even with my ears, sitting straight up.
There's a problem with the newer cars bolting on big wheels. They lose the effect when they build the car around them. The new Mustang is a good example. Those are the silliest 18's I've ever seen on a car.
The best example is probably the Ford GT, as far as mixing the new/old factor.
One of my favorite Camaro charateristics that was lost were the headlights of the 3rd gens. They carried over with the LT1 cars somewhat but went all girly on the LS-1's, IMHO.
I'll bet Chevy brings back the RS lights of the 70-73 like Ford did with the new GT. I actually kinda like them, though.
But we have 35 years of Camaros, with 4 generations of styling to sponge from. I'm crossing my fingers that they make us proud.
