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.

I like the look of the car, but I honestly don't think we'll see one under around 3800-4000lbs. Let's face it, cars are getting heavier not lighter. Part of that is due to content (creature comforts) but a big part of it is also due to federal regulations and safety standards (airbags, extra door beams for side impact protection, more complex crumple zones, etc). The C5/C6, and especially the Z06 versions, are way outside the norm when it comes to pursuing a lightweight car. Even the new 911 Turbo is 3600lbs, which for a 2+2 high dollar sports car seems way heavy to me.
