Hell Ya, who wouldn't want Chevy to reintroduce a 5th generation Camaro?

I think it would be a move in the right direction, and I would consider purchasing one once I had the chance to test drive one.

Nope, wouldn't want a 5th gen. Would be cool for other enthusiasts, but I would prefer a C6

I would only buy a 5th Gen Trans Am, otherwise I'll go with a GTO or C6.

Yes, as long as they keep a v8, 300+rwhp and rearwheel drive. Otherwise what is the point.

I would consider buying a 5th gen only if I liked the looks of it, and I would probably buy a camaro instead of a bird. It would also have to be powered by a V8, not some "high performance" V6.

I would also check out a 5th gen. camaro. Like almost everyone says, it would have to look good, have rear wheel drive and a powerful V-8. A nice price wouldnt hurt either. I also think it would be cool to offer some kind of f-body discount too. Meaning if you already have an f-body they would hook you up with a good deal.

I would check it out, but not sure if I would buy it. My loyalty is gone with the F-body. Not the same if they bring it back after several years.

They could get me back by doing an awesome motor like the 03 cobra. They still need to keep with the nature of the F-body as well. Not like they did with the GTO. Shoty job by GM.

Just my .02

I would if:
* More power (what would be the point of giving up mine)
* Better handling/ride (I would still take the solid rear and sacrifice some over IRS),
* Better ergonomics and quality interior,
*Clean muscle car look (The reason I cannot convince myself to buy a GTO). Not that I dislike the GTO, just not for me.
* Must still have T-top and Convertible options.
* Pricing needs to be in-line with the Mustangs or below.

I don't care which division of GM builds one, just build it already.

That depends, if their gonna make it a V6 FWD pansy-mobile then no. If they do it right, meaning RWD and at least 350 HP then yes. I don't really want a retro car. If there are some styling cues from older models fine but don't make a new 1969 Camaro. I would at least check one out then.

I've liked the retro 5th gen renditions I've seen and would like to buy one. However, I will be in the market for a Z06 to park next to my 2000 Z28 before I buy another f-body.

No, because I have no faith in GM keeping a possible 5th gen Fbody V8, rear wheel drive, and sporty looking. I absolutely hate the GTO, and am afraid what they would do with a "new" Fbody. That being said, a 400+hp 6 speed Camaro like some of the renderings I've seen would be cool, anything FWD, V6, 4 cam junk, etc, no thanks.

Sure I would like to see a 5th Gen F-Body...and I would check them out, but I dont know if I woud buy one. It really depends on the looks and performance. If GM did to the Camaro what Ford did to the Mustang, then I would say no, I wouldnt buy one.

I am very happy with my 4th Gen
