Evolutionary and fresh. No need to try and think about rehashing old designs. They were good in their era, but like anything else, become dated over time.

The best thing about the 5th Gen is it is fresh, and salutes many aspects of old Camaros without looking like the old ones. Fits the overall profile and looks new.

Will it be smaller and lighter, probably? CAFE will dictate that. Will we have 4, 6, 8 Cylinders or Hybrids, probably?

I mention hybrids, and I mean this seriously, they do not have to be a Prius. THey will be technological extension on a proper performance level. Hell, if Porsche can do it, Inifniti can do it, then dog-gone it GM can get there also. It will have to happen eventually as the Market will dictate it.
