Default The new Camaro should look like...

https://autos.yahoo.com/news/camaro-...120038602.html

I honestly don't know what to say about the article itself, but the car actually stretched around here looks very good to me from what I can actually see, ignoring that massively over-sized bowtie. The rear side windows have me a bit perplexed, but otherwise, not bad from this view.

Anyway, since the real thing may be showing up places soon and I spotted this(and the next thing), I thought I'd let others in on it... but I really wanna know if this is remotely for real...

I would put very little faith in this. The next Camaro will have to look much more aggressive than this, especially considering how great the new Mustang looks.

However, the biggest red-flag to this being BS is that it's obviously a photoshop of the 2012 130R concept. A car that was intended to breathe life into Chevy's small cars like the Sonic RS and etc. Just look at the blurriness around the the roofline of the "camaro". They basically just chopped the roof and stretched it out using the rear fender of the 5th gen.


130R




supposed new Camaro from the article

No, just, no. I mean I don't necessarily mind the overall shape of it, but NOT THAT GRILLE!

Odds are probably against it having that since they're moving away from that grille design now anyway.

Lol, agreed with the comments made. If that is remotely close to what the 6th Gen will look like, then the only nice pony car left will be the heavyweight Challenger. The other two will be a 2 door Fusion and a 2 door Malibu

I thought the Camaro used in the latest, currently unreleased, Transformer film will be similar to the 2016 Camaro. Evolutionary rather than revolutionary. There was a GM press release about this a few weeks or months ago.
here is one link http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=346725

Did not the 2007 Transformers Camaro look much like the actual production model? I thought GM would repeat the Camaro intro. again with the latest film.

NB: The front end in the lower pic in post #2 looks like it is puckering to spit out something.

I have to agree with this. Except for the new Vette, the full-size trucks (NOT the SUVs), and probably the (heavily overpriced) Cadillac ELR, most of the new models are terrible looking. The side view of the new full-size SUV is about the most boring looking thing I've ever seen...

I think the new Impala looks WONDERFUL! Seriously... that car is stunning to me.

People raved about the Malibu too, but that one isn't for me.

Is my post not showing up for anyone else? You know, the one that clearly shows this Camaro is just a bad photoshop and not legit. Or are we just gonna keep talking about how ugly it is and how we hope it doesn't look like this as if it's a possibility?

There was a thread on this when the photos first came out. The article stated it was just a regular 5th gen with modified body panels made just for the movie. It's not indicative of the 6th gen Camaro.

Agreed. The Malibu looks good from the front, but the rear is a bit ho-hum. The Impala, on the other hand, is good looking all around and downright gorgeous in top trim levels.

As long as it doesn't look like the Transformers Camaro it won't be a total disaster. But I have a feeling GM will botch the design.

I almost stated LTZ trim because that one(2LTZ) just knocked me out... and should've pointed that out because the leather interior makes a big, beautiful difference. Had GM not raised the price so significantly, I'd be driving that instead of my Ford. Alas, $7,000 seemed a stretch... There's more to it(poor sales teams). Too bad... I like that car!

It can't really look like that gaf above either... the side rear windows alone would cost thousands of sales.

Full size SUV's are rolling boxes becasue they have to be. Not a lot you can do with certain elements.
