That is pretty close to the pictures we saw before. I'd get one, but probably won't be able to afford a new one.

I'd buy it, but it would have to be blue, green, or orange.

That is bad-AZZ looking. Kinda reminds me of my FRC. I love that coupe look/style.

I think it is too good to be true. We will have to wait until it actually goes into production.

I sort of agree with you. Obviously that super flush side glass isn't going to make production. I can see a lot of people complain about luggage space like they've done for years with f-bodies.

I'm anxious to see it in person. I'm going to the Detroit Auto Show on the 14th, so that car will probably be the very first thing we go look at

Rumor has it, the Camaro is nixed again and they will call that model the Stingray. Just a rumor I heard though.

I always laugh like crazy when I hear/read that complaint. If one is looking for a new car and ample luggage space is a major concern, then one should seriously start looking at a full sized sedan and leave these types of cars to those of us looking for performance first, everything else second.

One car can't do everything perfect...concessions have to be made somewhere.....sadly some just fail to see that.

Well said. The only thing these cars are meant to haul ain't luggage.

But then again GM did offer a Ski Carrier (GM Part #12495611) for the 'Bird in 2000. You won't be able to pack much for your Winter Ski trip up into the mountains The thought of someone trying that makes me laugh too.

A ski carrier.....for an F-body..... ......because F-bodies are such a wise choice of vehicle to take on vacation to the ski resort in the high, snowy mountains....

Think GM ever actually sold one of those carriers?

sorry it looks like I'm the only one here so far who does not like it.
wait for it to come out? you can find one on the lot of any Ford or Dodge dealer right now. Looks too much like a Mustang and Charger, not that either of those aren't good looking cars but I would have hoped GM could muster up something a little more original than this imo.
The only thing I like about it is the cowl hood.
