Not bad at all. Get your credit cards ready Firebird fans.

Don't like it...

Looks like a 300c butt fucked a solstice and this is their retarded love child.

Wow that's fugly.

Not bad at all. Get your credit cards ready Firebird fans.

Dude. Get new glasses. :P

That car looks foul. They took a beautiful design (Camaro) and beat the shit out of it with an ugly stick. I'd pay someone just to get that bucket the hell out of my driveway.

i clicked on this link thinking this would be an awesome car......

i rather be seen driving a pink convertible than in this :barf:

Well, this will DEFINITELY not help in trying to bring Pontiac back!!!

So we would supply the car and the sticker price for the conversion would be what exactly? $20K maybe?

looks cool....http://dumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdum/images/e98741479a7b998f88b8f8c9f0b6b6f1.gif

No fugly hood scoops, NO BATWING, NO BULBOUS FENDERS, ITS DOESNT SAY TRANS AM ALL OVER IT!!

Could not have captured my thoughts better.

I would buy it. The 70-73 T/A's were my favorite design. I'm not much for retro, but I do like it.

I don't mind it----hafta see it in person.

At first I hated it but its growing on me.

Filthy.

Eww, ugly.

It is a pretty strange design . The body is a 1st gen retro theme then they are trying to add 2nd gen elements to that.The main thing is those headlights are hideous ! The back actually looks pretty good and the "beak" grille isn't too terrible but the headlights look straight out of the JC Whitney catalog and ruins the front. Ditch them first and rethink the rest of it.

They need to throw that design out, reprimand the guy that did it and tell him to try again. Or get someone else to do it. Its ugly as sin.

Love it! Cant wait to order it! if its offered, i WILL order it. Im just waiting for the day. IMO the camaro is one of the uggliest cars to ever grace our streets but this makes good use out of an otherwise wasted design. See how opinions differ i guess, One things for sure, there wont be a million of these in town!

This has to be sarcasm. If not then good luck and I hope you enjoy your ride. :chug:

Its not sarcasm, i really do love it. What your opinion is so absolute that other's cant differ? People like different things the fact that i like this car shouldn't upset you so damn much. You probably like the new Camaro, i dont, who cares? Big F*****G deal. I will enjoy my ride. lol. I think its cool and everyone i know thinks its cool ironically the GM website i go to, everyone thinks its ugly. lol oh well.

I wasn't bashing on you I just figured you were being sarcastic. My apoligies. Again if you get it good luck and enjoy it. :chug:

That's just a rendering anyway. Who knows what it's gonna look like when/if they do build it. All of you know how much a design changes from concept to production. Lose the headlights and scoops behind the doors and it'll look better.

A. IT is ugly.
B. I can't envision that they would make such a kit with the demise of Pontiac.
C. Yes the Camaro is ugly.... but this certainly isn't any better.

It's not that bad looking. I have seen a lot better renderings though.

Looks like a 300c butt fucked a solstice and this is their retarded love child.OMG that is really funny! :lol: :D
I kinda/sorta like the rendition a little bit but the money they will be charging for that would likely have me just getting a Camaro SS instead.

Not even a head on shot? FAIL. Do they at least convert the interior so that the Chevy emblems and what not reflect the new branding?

with the exception of the grill that says mustang all over it

I like it, but the above is very true.

Looks like a mix between 300c, Shelby, Camaro, and the only thing that resembles a firebird is the ugly retro tail lights. The car clashes so bad its unreal. Terrible job, ASC, just terrible!

Just let it die. I think what we have now is good enough. You know damn well it's going to be screwed up looking.

Eh it don't look bad but every one would argue the fact its not a true breed being that it started life as a Camaro a true Pontiac nut anyway.

Looks like a mustang from the side...

:barf:

Hideous rendering.

not a fan.

that is not good

What do you expect when you start with a car that ugly anyway?

Looks like dog shit

It needs alittle attention but i like it

This idea should have been drown at birth.:barf:

The rear half of the car looks ok. But the front is to boxy, as someone said it looks like a 300c in the front.

Just rework the nose to a better syling Q and I think that it would be golden.

It has to much going on. I wish someone would do a conversion of the Green concept camaro that was floating around with the other style tail lights.

You can put as much plastic on it as you want...the title will still say CAMARO. Who wants a Camaro that appears to be a Firebird?

i hope there is a conversion kit, BUT not THAT ONE!!

Yep, you guys pretty much covered it...

Thats Fucking Gay. When are they gonna learn retromodern is as overplayed as Vtec and JDM.

..greedy fucks.
