I like that Camaro with the 1st Gen front clip
But the convertible ones IDK, when I look at it from the A-pillar back the Pontiac Solstice comes to mind I don't know why it's just the first thing that pops to my mind

If they had something to fix that ugly rear-end, I'd buy into the new Camaro, because the front clip is freakin' hot!

Agree - the front doesn't need to be fixed - the back and dash board does.

I meant the kit clip looked good, the Camaro looks like *** from the factory. The kit is a 1000% improvement.

And convertibles just aren't my thing...

That front end kit is sick, and GM needs to put those Camaros on a diet. I wasn't too impressed with the interior. Its very small and tight with a cheap look. Tons of blind spots. When I looked uder the new Camaro, I seen Stamped steel rear control arms that were rusted. I am impressed with the performance and the agressive look. I just can't stand Chevys cheap interiors.
Cool pics!

really? i thought the interior was super nice. i thought the leather felt good and the gauges looked sick. i do agree about it being tight though with a ton of blind spots. id also like it if they made it so that the quarter glass would go down.

Aren't they changing platforms and making it close to the size of the 'Stnag?

If GM would have done a better job in the first place instead of playing catch up to Ford, there wouldn't be a need for body kits to make a Camaro look like a Firebird, Trans Am or a retro Camaro imo
