They can put T-tops on the 5th Gen, as long as they put them on just half as many, percentage-wise, as they did the 4th Gens.
That way, T-tops peeps can have their way, but hardcore speed freaks can also easily find a hardtop car without the extra weight and flex of a T-top car.
I've seen a number of 4th Gen cars offered for sale and I click on the ad, read it, and click out as soon as I see the dreaded T-tops. Yeah, not the biggest fan, but I also understand there are those out there that love them.

Im sure if the camaro is a success in the upcoming years. Then the gens that follow it, might end up with the t-tops, and the t-tops have to be able the fit the theme of the car as well as be supportive, you cant just slap on a t-top on any car they give you.

In my opinion, T-tops should be offered in the new model. Hell, not many cars come with T-tops and it is just awesome having them. GM is changing a lot, and I think that their quality is improving.

This was addressed at the G10 (for the most part) that t-tops would be very hard to put on a 5th gen given the side windows on the car. Scott asked us if would buy it if it had a sun roof, or a roof like they offer on the Malibu Maxx (one that is large and slides up in sections) I would say 99% of the people in the room said no.
Remember the 1st Gen’s didn’t come with t-tops (just hard top and convertible). I would not count on t-tops being offered on the Camaro the most you might get is a sunroof option.
This is why I am option for a convertible model.

Man I love T-tops if you see out in the street there is more camaros t-tops than hard tops. I say if you like them get it with t-tops it offers the corvetible "like" feling and gives you great trunk space for reliability.

You see a lot of F-Bodies with t-tops, because they came standard on V8 models if I'm not mistaken. As for the corvetible like feling, I more prefer the convertable feeling t-tops have. What does trunk space have to do with reliability? j/k mayn
As much as I love t-tops, I don't think the 5th gen would look right with 'em.

I understand that the 5th gen is a modern interpretation of the 1st gen, but the camaro's styling has always evolved from its previous generation into a more modern car, I'm not opposed to the retro styling(the concept is awesome looking, and the 69 is by far the coolest/stylish camaro)
but that's the past and the enthusiasts just wanted a new camaro for it's basic appeal
-affordable
-cool distinct styling (except from F-bird)
-kicks mustang *** with a big V8
with modern suspension/features, and I'm sure GM can design a targa top that would be light enough and not suffer from the dreaded ttop leaks.
