The current Camaro has it beat, that Camaro just looks awful. Good thing GM makes a good looking Vette, a ZO6 would look great parked next to my Camaro. Hopefully they'll make some changes before production.

Keep in mind that the majority of us HATED the 1998 Camaro too. It's catfish face made several guys switch over to the Firebird instead. But, now that people have grown used to it, it is quite popular again.

i for one always hated it. and still do!
however i do plan on owning a 5th gen. only thing ill change body wise is the rear bumper crease and waiting on the front shot to make a call on that.

But the Challanger looks good now. Hopefully the pontiac version will look better than the current Camaro pics.

no one cares about Pontiac though

i was wanting the lines to be more slimmer and sharper, these look more bulgy owell I'll have to wait for when they unload them from the shipping trucks at work to make my final call

I like white. That is the first time that I have seen it in white.

I have had 3 white camaros so far, that would be a nice addition.

Oh geez, they made the side markers bigger compared to the concept, (Stupid and ugly) and the Reverse lights if thats what they are look dumb where they are. the concept had none, but if they need to be in that area of the tail make em a different shape like a smaller tail light shape or full circled square. I dont know if I still want one...

Ya your 02 dime a dozen camaro will look better than the 09 camaro yes a new zo6 does look great but i dont think anyone would be paying your camaro any attention.

Hmm I like it. If those little squares are the back up lights, why not make them the center of the inner tail lights? You know, outermost lights tail light/brake lights, and the inner most turnsignal/back up combo?

I'm almost curious to see what the Camaro would look like with regular Vette taillights
