Hey fellow lat-g members,
First thing off, I don't claim to have great knowledge about the automotive industry, and I am not an expert. But the thing is, as simple as it sounds, I think the new camaro is too big. Too large, wide, long, tall. The wheels are 20" (correct me if I'm wrong) and the thing looks like it will weigh near 4000 pounds! For those who have seen it up close, parked next to a 69, it dwarfs it.
I think the car should be smaller. The designers should really look at the jonny51/marquez design built camaro. It is the original design with (keyword) subtlety. Little details that pull you in, something like Strope built cars. I think the new camaro design would further polarize potential buyers. If this is the car that needs to sell 100,000 units/year just to stay alive, then it must exude that "I must have it" factor. Further, if I haven't offended enough of you already, I would like to comment on the anthem motors' body mods to the GTO. I think if they made the car that way in the first place, they would've sold more 'em. I remember seeing the rolling concept a while ago (orange in color) of that aggresive body and thought, "man, the new GTO is going to be awesome!" What happened when it came out? A mere ripple.
So in closing, you could understand that these cars we have come to love have an almost sacred place in our lives...I just want to see them done right, is that too much to ask?
My two copper cents,
