That car looks badass,i'm falling in love,but good god,will i still be in love whenever the hell this car gets here??????
I love the front,love the back,the waist is alittle high,but it's like that on all new cars though. The '10 Mustang will really have to be something spectacular for it to sway me away from a future Camaro purchase.

 

Per fbodfather (S Settlemeyer)

".......it is a preproduction car -- the headlamps are not real -- we essentially grabbed 'em off the shelf and hot-glued 'em in so we can continue testing......it will have headlamps that look amazingly like the concept......"

.......also - forget spoiler -- they aren't ready yet..................in due time, my friends...in due time"

One of the reasons many say the rear does not look right is there is no spoiler on it. I saw a chopped one with the spoiler and the rear looks amazingly close to the concept as does the front minus the preproduction headlights. I'm sure with the real headlights in, it will tie the front end up some especially with some badging on the grille etc.

 

Is GM going to show this thing a NAIAS?

 

Nope

 

well lets see ..1 new camaro..made in australia..australian platform..just like the GTO

 

That pic maybe but the US Camaros will be made in Oshwa Canada not Austrailia.

 

Wow after seeing the newer front pic I'm not happy with it at all. Everything looks so FORCED to fit on something rather then being designed from the ground up.

Hey!

 

I am not sure why some feel the new camaro looks way to much like the mustang. Aside from the 2 pics above both being white and having the standard 4 tires, 2 mirrors, etc, they are nothing alike. I'd be more than happy to part one in my garage. Next to my mustang of course

 

In my opinion the new Challenger looks more like a retro Camaro than the new Camaro does. Chop the front of the new Challenger with a Camaro front and it'd be a great Camaro.

anybody else notice the "scoop and rear gills" are fake?

 

The last time Ford tried a new direction, we got this....

 

STILL not liking the front fascia - guess they didn't study the Mustang or 1st gen F-body long enough when they were developing the look. That white color doesn't help - just 4 square headlights away from being an '08 version of the 80's Monte Carlos SS.

 

Indeed, the point was to reintroduce the Mustang DNA, detractors say retro, I say evovled. As much as I love the foxbody Mustang, was it really a Mustang? Had it not said Mustang would have anybody recognized it as such. The answer is of course "no". Love it or hate it, the Mustang, camaro, and challenger are instantly recognizable. You can tell what they are and where they came from. The trick of course from this point on is to evolve the designs further and keep them instantly recognizable as Mustang, camaro, and challenger.

 

The only problem I had with the Probe--it was WWD (Wrong Wheel Drive). Looking back at the '93 Mustang and the '93 Probe--IMO the Mustang is the design that looks the most dated.

 

What?

 

The '93-96 probe was a great car, lots of fun to drive (the GT-5spd anyway), just not the same as a V-8 rwd car. I had a '94 that I bought after testing a Mustang GT, I liked the Probe much better, and loved it the whole time I had it.

But I wouldn't trade my '07 Mustang for one now, or any other car in it's price range.

 

Well, back then the Probe simply was the better built, better finished, car.

 

Thus the change to the SN-95 in 94...

 

True! Personally, I've always been a little ambivalent about the 94-98, but for some reason, I like the looks of the 99-04 quite a bit. I have a 2000 V6 and didn't part with it when I bought the 06 GT. I think the design wears pretty well.

I think one of the challenges for the new Camaro (any new model really) --does its design age well. I'm not sure if I expressed that quite right. When the Dodge Ram first went with the 'Big Truck' look it caught people's eye. But personally I thought the design aged pretty quick. Having seen the Camaro concept, for (it seems like) ages, I wonder if it will appear 'fresh' when it hits production, or whether the earlier exposure and long development cycle has aged the design even before it hits the showroom.

 

I think this concept would age far better than the current "camaro"...
