I'm working on pencil sketches of my own idea but I'm not an automotive artist so they're a bit crude and sucky but as I practice they're getting better. Soon as I feel they aren't too embarrassing I'll post them up.
I don't mind sharp edges if they are done well and add to the overall characteristic of the car rather than just being some random edge to fill in an area.

The 5th gen has lots of edges rather than smooth curves and I think thats what really makes the design striking from many angles. Not saying I couldn't love a design with more curves than edges though either. As long as it has the basic "thats a Camaro" design and looks muscular I'm game.
