Details??!!

I've heard whispers that it may revolve around the look of gen 4?...... :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

It won't be a 4th gen rehash...not like how the 5th gen is based off the '69 Camaro. The rumors are that it will return to a sleeker design set forth by the 3rd/4th gens rather than an evolution of the 5th gen.

There are plenty of cars that don't change styling that much from generation to generation, like Porsche and BMW. Even the new Mustang isn't that big of a change when you put it side by side with the previous generation.

The 5th gen design inspiration was the 1st gen and it was refreshed every year with similar minor updates for all 3 years and they did not alter the basic design language but they enhanced enough of the car to keep it fresh. This would be very expensive in todays manufacturing climate.

5th gens still stand out in a crowd and continue to draw ooh's and ahh's from kids and adults alike, it has not grown old but it is time to move forward be it an evolutionary design or not.

I'm anticipating the new model to be a clean sheet upgrade as it relates to driving and performance dynamics from the present car. The design will be a bonus regardless of how far they decide to go from what we have today.

This car will make all you "Nancy's", no disrespect to any actual female Nancy's, change your tune once the car and info is finally revealed. This car will not disappoint.

An entirely new car on a new platform with a new engine and transmission is slightly more than a refresh.

Well, one more thing...lol...

That may be the case with Porsche, BMW and Mustang....

Camaro Generations 1-5 all have had upgrades, engine changes, styling re-freshes, etc during their Generational run... They were very distinct from each other in styling generation to generation overall ...perhaps the Gen6 will be the end of that distinction for Camaro...and why some (maybe just me) are looking for something different....

So anyone that doesn't agree with your opinion is a "Nancy?" :doh:



You're right, but when you do all of that and make the car look 95% the same as the outgoing model, it doesn't appear that way. Even evolutionary designs are typically quite a bit different than their predecessors. The prototypes appear to be a 5th gen rebuilt on the ATS platform using the Corvette's engine and transmission.

This could be Corvette 2.0, where the prototypes were underwhelming and the final product turned out fantastic. I really hope that's the case here.

once again... I would be 10000% happy if the exterior stayed the same, just change the boring interior

I agree. That modern take of a 3rd gen drawing was fantastic. That drawing is what got me following the 6th gen Camaro.

Why would you want the exterior to stay the same? To me looking at the pic body lines look exactly like the 5th Gen. I want things to evolve for the better. Mustang looks pretty damn good. The GT350 looks even sexier than the GT. I hope GM can provide the same wow factor. Ford and Dodge both get a thumbs up for what they have done.
