What's the difference between 100 dead babies and a Volvo wagon?

Women will actually go near a guy with 100 dead babies.

Neither of the humans to whom they belong will ever own a new Camaro?

Like a fine Detroit wine, this vehicle has aged to budgetary perfection...

The Challenger and Mustang look much better.

I disagree, I have been in love with this Camaro ever since we saw the concept.

I am a little concerned about comments regarding interior quality and the belt-line though.

I agree. I haven't seen either the new redesign mustang or the camaro in person. However the last gen(prior to the refresh) and challenger look great. The front of the camaro looks good but i just can't get over that quarter hump(not real bad) and those "gills" on the rear quarter(maybe those didn't make production).

I really don't like how the car looks like it was welded together at the back of the door.  It almost looks like 2 different cars were cut in half and spliced together.

Uh, I'm not so hot on the yellow; red, silver and black looks great - and much better looking than the Challenger, and I'll have to wait to see the 2010 Mustang refresh in person to decide.

As with all pony cars success will come down to chicks buying the base model, but this just doesn't look like a chick car.

And yes, looks like it's anything but stillborn.

That however is the prototype (note the non-functional mirrors and door handles). Though designers carried the design motif threw to production, I see subtle differences that mess with prototype proportions a bit:

At a minimum, I see a much greater rear track/rear wheel offser, a squished front grill, and a slightly longer rear window.

That rear haunch still looks exactly the same though, and that's the part that bothers me.

I think in real life it'll look a lot more like this one than people think:



very similar rear quarters.

I've seen it in person and it looks just like the photos.

Wow the first gen Camaros might be the best looking musclecars this side of the little Fox body Stangers

I still think the reborn Camaro should have looked like this:

I think the 2010 Camaro is a knockout as is, and even if the styling isn't for everyone, the value proposition is simply unbeatable.

FlatBlackCaddy

I know alot of people want this car to be huge for GM(it will be image wise) sales wise but i just don't see how this story will end any differently than the book of GTO and G8. I'm sure out of the gate they will be very popular but like the GTO/G8(those went from all the rage, to neat, to "who gives a fuck" in all of 3 years) the camaro will be just another big rebate give away to get them off the lots.

A Kappa-based Camaro would have been smarter, imo.

They should have made it look like the SS concept from 2003.





In my opinion one of the best American concepts from recent time. In fact I will post this in Hemi's concept thread.

It isn't like GM hasn't copied Mazda before for sports cars.

Give the FD fixed projectors and the similarity is there.  The C5 looked even more like the FD given it's flip-up lamps (IIRC, GM even admitted using the FD as inspiration for the C5's styling).

No, you didn't.  That's a C6.  C5 = flip-up lamps.  C6 = integrated lamps.
