Neat concept. I like the lines overall, but the Cobalt rearend isn't "doing it" for me.

Kinda got a Viper-ish styled coupe. I'd like to see more of the 1st Gen. styling on it. I wonder if they are considering the T/A and how it'd look?

I see Aston Martin in this car for sure... I like this car, but the rear end needs to be extended or something, it looks too smooshed up. I just hope whatever the car ends up looking like is good because I plan on getting one the day they come out.

I'm not too big on the retro styling, but that is pretty clean looking!

I like everything about it, except the rear fascia. I think bigger single lights, instead of the Coblat-ish lightswould look better. The exhaust tips are ok, but some slightly smaller slash cut tips would be cool. The wheels are awesome, and I really like the lines. Id like to see some ideas for the front fascia as well. From what I see, Id but it. If, the engine was cool, though.

As long as Pontiac has the GTO i doubt we will ever see the Trans Am again even though i wigh they would make one. The car looks great even with the rims, but defintely those tail lights really look pretty gay. GM should take a few ideas from some of the concepts going around the internet, rather than having a couple guys sit down and make some **** that looks horrible.

I actually think that is the "SS" concept that GM paraded around to all the auto shows a few years ago. It was a bad *** concept, except I don't think it was camaro material, chevelle worthy definately. Although I will take anything at this point.

The flat black it nice. I would buy it.

GM is actually going to unveil their concept Camaro car at the Detroit auto show in 2006. That would be cool to go up there for that, but Ill wait till it comes to Chicago. I get free tickets anyways and free parking.

Chevy's best bet if they were going to produce a car like that, which I think looks nice, would be to *NOT* call it a Camaro. I'm probably alone on this, but I don't think Chevy should ressurect the Camaro name. There weren't enough buyers when it was around for the last 5 years. Everyone else has moved on. We should too.

What GM plans to do with the new Camaro is to appeal to a wider range or people. They are going to target the 30-50 crowd. They are going to make it easier to get in and out of the car, to appeal to women. Look at what Ford did with the new Mustang... it is not as hardcore of a vehicle like the f-body power plant was. The f-bodies were really performance oriented, and comprimised the other aspects of everything else.

That looks exactly like the Chevrolet SS concept that GM had like 4 years ago.
