Hate to break it to you, but that image of a Camaro was done by a 19 year old as a "what if" about 1-2 years ago.

I think autospies is waaaay late on the info-band wagon.

A retro Camaro and Firebird would encounter a great deal of success, although not as much as the Mustang, IMO. I don't think their following is as strong as the Mustang's.

Nicely designed SSs and TRANS-AMs would certainly assist in there being no shortage of GTs and no dealer gouging.

We all prefer Mustangs, but competition would be great for us.

those pictures are just photoshops by a kid named Kris Horton. He made those for a magazine, and did not get hired by GM (stupid move by GM).

And I agree with George in every point he made.

...and i dont understand why they speak directly to GM in some parts of the article when the link they gave to HotRod pretty much says that GM has no affiliation besides the inspiration of the car

That Slowmaro is fugly. Way to "hippy" in the back. I doubt we'll see the camaro return but maybe an ss that was predicted. It will probably bomb like the GTO.

I had brought this up in a previous post, the rebuttle was 50 / 50 I beleive they will have a camaro on the road very soon, to much $ at stake...GM is still the largest auto maker in the world, despite the problems...watch and see ! It will be good for all of us in the end when they do, competition never hurts, well unless you lose, no big block camaro's to contend with this time I hope !

Whats funny is GM hates the words" Retro design".Yet they will be going retro.They tried to outdo Ford with the GTO.It didnt happen.Alot of Fbody owners might not be back for the camaro debut.
