Second, I've had a couple of Gen1s and other than the gauges, gills and angle of the front grill; the Gen5 is on it's own. Third, don't ever worry about the Gen6 taking clues from the Gen4.

*edit* there are also more ways to make a car faster than reducing weight

Some food for thought: The Herb Grasse 1967 Camaro prototype show car
The XP836: 1962 1965 So where do you think GM could go from the 5th gen's first gen inspiration, to something to keep these old lines? |

It's already been stated by GM that the 6th gen will NOT be retro...

This sounds like a nice rumor...leaves me plenty of time to enjoy the ZL1 before drooling over a new model.
Personally, I can't wait for the 6thgen to roll around. If based on nothing else than current ATS production videos...it should be killer!!! As for design, size, etc, etc....I'm not worried about it. I'll leave it to them - THEY are the experts...I'm not. I know what I prefer, though...a *SLIGHTLY* smaller car with an evolutionary design bringing the key features of the Camaro (low-slung stance, wide shoulders, bold expression, sharp lines, and cut windows) into the future with some extra attention given to aerodynamics. Pure retro, I think, will almost certainly fail. And that's as far as I'll go, because I trust the people on this Camaro team COMPLETELY to make the right decisions with respect to the next generation. That...and I'm not finished enjoying THIS gen, yet. |

That is, if they'd also rather just toss everything out the window and slap the badge on a totally new car with zero links to it's predecessors. Which at that point.. well.. you might as well pick another name and kill the Camaro badge. |

Had a 5th gen, just replaced it with a C5 Vette. I get it loud and clear....if you're after looks, get a 5th gen. If you're after performance without exploding parts, look elsewhere. |

I sincerely hope there won't any 5th-gen dogging as time progresses towards this new generation...I see absolutely no need for it....
Improvement on an already great car (that would be the 5th gen) is possible, you know!........ |
