QUOTE The all-new Camaro will begin with early production versions at the end of 2008 and will go on sale in the first quarter of 2009. “The new Camaro will be almost identical to the concept, a thoroughly modern interpretation of the 1969 model, considered by many to be the best design of the car’s first generation,” said Ed Welburn, GM's global vice president of design, who owns a 1969 Camaro SS. The front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sport coupe will feature an independent rear suspension, and will be offered in a variety of models with the choice of manual and automatic transmissions and V-6 and V-8 engines. I hope it doesn't weigh 4K lbs and come with skinny tires. It sure is ugly as a dog though IMO. I don't think retro shows any creativity at all. I want a new looking car. |

If you think its retro you should see the other concept they almost went with instead.

If you think its retro you should see the other concept they almost went with instead. I don't see how it couldn't be retro. The front end, fenders, body lines, side glass etc. is all inspired by the old car. It's just not creative in my opinion. I'd be in the market for one, but I'd like to buy a car with a front end that doesn't look like it walked out of the '60's. I love the sides of the car and most of the body lines, but the front end doesn't do it for me. I think they hit the mark much better with the C6. It's new and exciting but still says Corvette. |
