Everything else, it's completely up in the air. Some elements may have made it to the 6th gen but it's hard to say for sure.



This is what we're analyzing over at GMI right now. Camaro proportions and body style with a C7-inspired rear.
Don't think a mid engine C8 would need cooling ducts in the hood/bonnet.

I believe it's unlikely that GM Design would've been so careless to have left late-stage drawings for top-secret, unreleased future product out when there's a scheduled visit from a video crew. Just imho.
Yeah, pretty sure they don't leave stuff like that just accidentally posted or accessible to the general public. I agree with you.
