here's another link.

i love the exterior.

the interior blows donkeys. those guages look like crap and look to be difficult to read at a glance. I hope all that orange anodizing is for looks and not part of the finished car.

It looks like it's based on the CTS-V.

I think the exterior kicks ***, only thing I would like to change is have the grille not come to a point. And I think they need to take out a LOT of the chrome and orange stuff and replace it with brushed aluminum and redo the funky bubble gauges.

and whats up with those console guages, they looked like turn signal indicators. I couldn't see any hashmarks for guage range. did anybody else see anything that indicated other than idiot light functions for those?

Interior =
The materials look cheap and WAY TOO RETRO! If I wanted to feel like I was back in my 68, I'd go outside and SIT in MY 68.

Now Exterior, that's another story!
Where do I get me sum of dat!?!?

I like it. I am not a real fan of the 69 though. It looks great but the Challenger dash lay out seems nicer to me.

Sure glad they are bringing it back

I agree Ellis, I don't know if I could let the Bird go for that though, maybe the Jetta...

If you want to see the entire unveiling, go here...
http://gmtv.feedroom.com/?fr_story=FEEDROOM128215

It's well worth the watch, I was absolutely stunned after watching it.

And my thought is... I've always said that I'd never own a Camaro.... and well... I think I may just have to go back on that one. That car is beautiful, and I can picture the mods already. Unless they come up with a GTO that has similar aggressive looks, there's a Camaro in my future.

I'm going to hold out and see if they put the LS7 in it like Lutz suggested.

I didn't like that video at all (same one krazycowgirl posted)......they could have skipped the first 10 minutes..I was bored and looking for the fast forward button...

I do like the car, although I hate to admit that I like the dodge better. I think the Camaro has too many squarish lines to it where I like a more smoother look...just my opinion of course...we'll see what happens...

I agree Steph. The video is TOO long, and mostly you see 69 Camaros (my fav year btw, but NOT what I was looking for). The nose looks like a CTS-V & the rest looks like a Vette. Nice, but again not what I'd want. I like the Challenger better....

I think the Challenger is a little too retro, personally. I see it as a short lived model, really.

I thought the '69 Camaros parading in was a good way to build it up... and by the time the concept rolled out, I was freakin PUMPED. That was amazing, I think.

I think it is a great look. However I am sorta skeptical if it will actually see prodution as is because you look at the gto and the concept that came out back around 1999 and it had the agressive look too. In my opinion they toned the GTO down a little too much for me and lost the aggressive look. I don't want to get flamed for the GTO comment but that is my opinion. My fear is that it will lose the aggressive look. I am glad though that the name plate is looking to be in good hands. If they bring back the Trans Am I hope they go for the 2nd gen retro instead of the 1st gen body.
