I might buy one if they make it quicker than the GT500 (which I kinda doubt but hey) and they fix the way it looks. If they fail to do both of those things then no.

I WILL buy one... assuming I'll be excepted into pharmacy school by then... that's a big assumption.

To me the Challenger looks cooler, the Camaro wins my heart on heritage alone.

I'd like to see a SS version to go along with my current SS, then I would buy it!

I will be in the market for one. I am a DA because I have a loyalty problem in many areas of life and GM is the least deserving of ANY. My guess is that the car in production form will have a interior that is realistic and I do like the exterior I bought my 02 SS for a lot of reasons that would bore the **** out of most peeps on here but also knowing I will never sell it, at 16 I just knew I had to have 1 and have been attached ever since My 02 will be paid off this year and new motor plans are in place, I will be ready when the new one arrives

I guess you're in the same spot I am. I bought a '69 Camaro at 17 and I'm getting down to only owing below a grand after restoring it and the initial price. It'll be nice to shed that car payment, then I can recover and start saving some cash up.

I saw the concept at The L.A. Auto show yesterday and all I can say
is HELL YEA, It makes the dodge look old. In person it is awesome.

The weight, rear axle setup and what engine play the biggest part in my decision.

I think I need to see one in person before I can make a final decision on its styling, though I would really like to see hidden RS style headlights as well as what they plan on doing for the SS 'Appearance Package"

So tentatively put me down for yes.

I didnt like the front end. I really thought I liked the looks of the Challenger more, but the more I look at the Camaro, the more I like the looks. I like the "chopped" look that it has. It's smooth, sleek, and just plain classy with the muscle look. I too would like to see how the SS version would look and feel. Power is a big factor on this thing, as well as price. Retro or not, this thing rules the more you look at it. Let it grow on ya, folks.

Yes I would consider it, but that doesnt mean I would buy it.

For the people who missed the unveiling of the camaro click here for the video. http://www.chevrolet.com/performance/

I love the car but the interior has got to be changed to a more modern look what do you guys think?

Yes, hopefully they makes some tweaks on it before it's on the market, if it does end up coming out.

I like the new camaro concept, but I would change a couple of things one being the headlights they need to be alittle bigger (67-69) since they want to go with the retro look.
I'd buy one unless they are too expensive.

I like the Challenger too.

Is it me?... but while I do find some retro hints it doesnt look like a full blown retro car to me!! It has a "classy" look but looks very modern to me! I think the Challenger does have a more retro feeling to it.

It's a toss-up right now between the Challenger and the Camaro. I will know more after seeing them in person at the Detroit Auto Show this weekend. Right now I'm not too crazy about the front end styling, but the independent rear suspension has me worried. The Challenger has an IRS also. I need a solid rear axle please. No way in hell am I selling my 02 though.

My answer is no. But I sure will scoop up someone's used 02 SS for a steal.
