Were I to be a Camaro fan I'd be very pleased with all except the possible production date. Three years is a very long time.

It's classy, modern, and muscular. In my book it would be a winner just like the Challenger. The only problem is the obnoxious Camaro lovers would be a lot worse than they are now. Heaven help us.

It didn't take much growing for me, that thing looks vicious. I think its the lack of dorky round headlights that makes it more appealing than the Stang to me--though it doesnt look quite as good as the GT-R.

I'm not a fan of the pointed nose. Put over all, I like it.

It's starting to look like the "war of muscle cars" that roamed the land in the late '60s. Mustangs, Camaros, and Challengers.....there just won't be as many options as there was back then. No 442s and Roadrunners nor 'Cuda's. Let the games begin!!

If the Challenger makes it to production, I fully expect a Barracuda and 'cuda to follow. They may call it a Chrysler or a Dodge or even a Dodge Challenger 'cuda, but if the market holds up, it'll happen.
Not so sure on the Roadrunner, as that would have to be on the Charger platform, and don't know that they'd go that far. Then again, they did a "Super Bee"-ish pickup truck so who knows.

The interior's overdone but not bad, and everything between the A-pillar and the base of the rear glass looks ok, but not amazingly good like the Mustang concepts were. The front and tail look like derivative crapola

I agree! I hope a Cuda does make an appearance...it would be the one car I would consider adding to the garage with the Shelby.

Looking at the buildup photos, I figured out why I don't really care for the front or rear end of the Camaro concept. The front end reminds me of an 80's Monte Carlo SS - I liked the later model year LS headlights better - and the front is too "pointy", in my opinion. As for the tail lights, maybe if they were turned upside down they'd look better? Or go for a more single lens, rectangular look? Must've been just as hard to copy Ford now as it was back then.
