I think the concept shows a lot of promise. I think they could work some on the front end grille and the rear tail lights.
I'm not a big retro fan to be honest. |

Ehh, I guess I would buy one but I'm sure they'll make some changes to make it look a little better. I looks like rear visibilty will be pretty limited. Independant rear? Didn't hear all of the audio.
'Reasonably compact', but what does it weigh? |

The cad pictures of the underside were out a while ago and showed independant rear. |

Needs to be less than $25k for a stripper Z28 and weigh less than 3350lbs or I won't even consider it.

It grew on me during the video, at first glance the point of the nose was too much, I still think it would look better more flat. Also, would be nice if they put in the old fashioned hideaway headlight grille covers to hide the headlights during the day. I agree with Keith that it needs to weigh less than 3350-3400 lbs and have a target price of $25 or less. Not sure the big diameter wheels are smart. One could only hope they put a decent posi in it.

As for IRS I hope it isn't an "abortion" IRS. |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I know that's what they say, but the entire GMC line is probably the least differentiated line out there. Sam goes for the new GM minivan lineup. But I guess in some cases, they are holding true to that, like there'no no sunfire replacement... unless of course you go to Canada where Pontiac has a Cobalt equivalent. I have to stop trying to figure GM out. |

New styles are usually hard for me to digest. When the new mustang came out I REALLY HATED it. After getting used to it a bit I almost like it... naaah scratch that. On the other hand, this concept Camaro is off to a good start. I'm not thrilled with it but I don't hate it in the least. The vid says without looking retro.. lol, I guess so.
