Default 6th Gen Camaro Concept

I'm sure some of you guys have seen this concept in the magazines. What do you guys think? IMO I'm not a fan..... Taillights look pretty mean looking. Other then that it looks like a 5th gen with 2013 Mustang headlights

Camaro5 guys are obsessed with it?

It will be interesting to see how much of the concept actually makes it to production. It's not too bad. You can tell they were going for the old RS look with the headlights, but they can definitely do better.

I like the camaro but the headlights have me kinda iffy but I also hate the headlights on the new Shelby so maybe they would grow on me.(on both cars)
I know some people are over the retro look but hey if it helps sell cars then keep doing what it takes hell ford got a long run out of there retro look why can't Chevy?

As for the mustang I think it's a confused looking car it looks like a current mustang from the side with a Aston Martin nose sorta like a 300c with a Bentley front end () and I hope that's not what ford goes with but all signs point to yes so I guess we will see.

Meh, simply a rendering some guy who doesn't even work with GM so don't take it for much.


6th gen just needs to be smaller, lighter, new gen small block and no factory dub size wheels.

It will definitely be lighter, but not sure on size (length/width/height). I'd assume smaller though. New small block is almost a given, seeing as the car is still 2 years away and we know the C7 will have something new. I completely agree on the "no factory dub size wheels" though. Put factory 18s on it, make the 20s an option for the "baller" look. That alone should shave around 50-100lbs off of the car.

Well, it's different. Car designs tend to evolve/devolve pretty quickly, so who knows.

Perhaps we should link them to the washer thread, and really blow their minds.

There's nothing official about it so no use in beating it to death.

They need to get off this retro crap.
And this stuff with the Mustang and Camaro looking almost the same. "Why does my Chevy look like my neighbor's Ford?"

Edit:

At least they are putting it on a diet. (hopefully close to our 4th gens) and dropping a real nice next generation v8 in. Now maybe they will put T-Tops on this version.
