still guessing the next gen styling evolves off 5thgen. it'll be new, but recognizable.

The 1st gen is very popular with collectors, no doubt, but they aren't the only ones that Chevy has to keep an eye out for. There are also a lot of folks into the 2nd gen because it doesn't have the "garage queen" tax due to being as highly desired by collectors. There is also remarkable difference in the looks and style of the 2nd gens in at least the front fascia, so a '71 looks almost nothing like an '81 even though they are both considered a second gen. It would be a lot easier to remedy some of the (albeit irrelevant in my book) complaints about the current model by taking more influences from the 2nd generation, and stealing some stuff from the 3rd and 4th as well. For instance, going to a hatchback style rear end. It may lose some stiffness, but if it's a smaller platform with less weight in the first place, then the chassis can be braced in other manners and still retain necessary strength. This would increase the visibility and storage of the vehicle, and allow a softer rear slope so that you have more room for rear passengers. That said, the SS70 isn't my cup of tea because it's too dang tall and the body lines don't flow at all. I think the next gen will need more radical style designs, but can still take elements from the 2nd gen. If the overall height of the vehicle were something along the lines this rendering: I think that the 2nd gen look could influence the style while still retaining the evolution of the overall design. If the vehicle will remain roughly with the same proportions it has now, though, then a more 3rd/4th influenced look would make more sense.

I love the look of gen 5, but the sleek, aerodynamic look of gen 4 is what really turned me into a Camaro fan back in 96...

I don't know why, but something tells me the C6 Camaro will look very ugly. Hopefully I'm wrong...

Keep it a muscle car. Keep the front end hungry and menacing and keep the curves / fender flares. Lose either of those two and you're doomed like the 4th gen. IMHO of course.

The difference is this site is about the current car and it speculated about the current car. From what you're saying here, I would say it's time to fire up Camaro6.com then.

Last rumor had it out in 14. Was going to wait until then to upgade to an SS but if it is 16 I guess the SS will be coming alot sooner.

I def. think the Camaro should be alot lighter and a little more horse and improve the interior a little. Maybe a better steering wheel, less plastic. That or make everything inside carbon fiber? Only thing I like better about the Srt8 or the 5.0 is I think its a little nicer inside.

I predict it will look similar to the current one but smaller. Narrower grill, taillights, etc. sleeker but it won't be a major change. The interior is probably the biggest area for differences. I predict a completely different look.

Honestly I don't want a redesign of the current car. As far as I want to see is at least a 400lb reduction in weight and maybe even a shorter wheelbase.
Other wise it will be another Dodge Charger fiasco, where they change the look every year and still looks like crap.

Just imagine the 1969 model year going to 1970, hope we wont be disappointed. The 5th gen will be hard to beat!
