About time to see some new pictures. The interior is getting better, but I still would like to see more done on the rear taillights and exhaust tips.

I wish they would work on the front more and decrease the size of the rims. The back end looks pretty good though... The front just looks too boxy towards the corner of the car.
no worries on the rims.. these are concept cars, of course they are going to over-do the rims, that's what concept cars are for.... same with the interior...

as for the front end.. that ain't gonna change, and i hope it doesn't

Looks great with the top down, but I hate the way verts look with the top up (the soft top anyways). If it was a hardtop convertible like the Mercedes, that would be bad-***! Then again, that would also probably be $$$.

the front headlights make the car look pissed off and the rear tailights do the same.


Yeah I like the new camaro design but I hate retro and the bulkieness look that comes with retro looks.

the new camaro should be an evolution of the 4th gens and the gto should have received the retro look
