Camaro5 is filled with enthusiasts, and that means a lot of people here are passionate about the Camaro. Everybody likes something different about it, and some of those things have to change. We'll see the full spectrum of responses here, but I promise you this: the new Camaro will be fast, fun, and built by Chevrolet.

We'll see....fast no doubt...fun no doubt...but the all most important aspect is the look. That's what captures Camaro enthusiasts, outside brand perspective buyers, and first timers the most. Does it have the look? Time will tell....

...and previous credible testimony has told a sad tale of such outcomes. But, we have seen blowhards and tale tellers around here more often than not saying they are a Sage and know this or that more often than guys who got canned for leaking info. That's well known within the industry, and runs deeper than you think. Loose lips sink ships. It's a slippery slope. But we well know the risks and understand the underlying issue you refer to.

I buy it because it has hand me down corvette drivetrains for a fraction of cost. So handme down drivetrain is a gimme...what i want is some weight reduction. Which is being done. So i guess that means sold? Here chevy take my money. Unless the c7z flappy paddle is worth it. Then take more money.

If most people don't like it...and I mean truely don't like it (not that initial hate that everyone has when something changes and then they get over it) and if it doesn't stir some excitement in our souls....it will not sell like the 5th gen.

I would have to guess that the car is at least 98% finialized at this point.
When you consider all the design and work that goes into creating the assembly line itself and all the processes involved, it has to take at least a year just to get the new assembly line process installed and tested, and they can't do that unless the car is pretty much finialized. |

Expect Cadillac hand-me-downs before the Corvette ones. This will be a VERY GOOD THING !

It's the reason it has succeeded in the marketplace...it's the reason everyone recognizes it on the road...And design is the reason they have to be VERY VERY careful in bringing the car into the next generation. The Camaro has had a very clear personality through the years, though...and people clearly respond to certain proportions and lines better than others on a performance car. I, personally, don't see anything "retro" about the current car. I know people will point to things like the side gills and gauges...but I don't see anything more than a family resemblance...retro is way too strong a word, imo. I believe they should follow the patterns of Aston Martin and Corvette....slow, intentional, well thought-out design evolution. Nevertheless - my thoughts are part of what makes this so difficult to come up with a "solution" to the problem of the 6th gen design. For what it's worth - the same people that brought us the 14 refresh and the 14 Stingray are working on the new Camaro. I'm not at all worried for the future. |

However I do believe the Corvette should be forward in design. That was the way it was till the C5. Thankfully they're back on track with the C7.

Camaro will follow suit with a design approach such as the C7 Vette that breaks new ground, but also follows styling cues incorporaated from the previous model.
