The 5th gen reached young, old, male and female which is exactly the wide range of buyers you want to reach. A batman movie-style car might sell to hip-hop types or young males running on testosterone and adrenaline, but it's not going to appeal much beyond that demographic. I've been thinking about your comment of me designing what I think THEY will do, or designing what I would like to see and I think I'll go with what I would like to see since that would be different. I'm paying attention to the comments about muscle car versus sports car; military-style versus civilian. A brute-force muscle car would lean more towards a military look I think so I'll play around with that idea for a bit and see what I can come up with. I did like the first concept I did that everyone said was too much like the 5th gen. I really liked that 3/4 view front of that one so maybe I can blend that style with a more military/muscle style and see how that looks. Good feedback guys!

You only THINK you want that Ryan; just like you thought you wanted the blonde...
Imagine sitting in that and what it would be like to drive. You can't see ANYTHING... not the front, the front corner and the view out the back? Forget it. Those wheels would weigh a ton. The cost of tires for wheels like that would be ridiculous. That car would also be very heavy. Exactly the opposite of what you really want; you're just blinded by the blonde effect. You'd buy it; be over-the-moon ecstatic for a few weeks. You'd love all the guys your age coming up to you and saying how bad-ass that is and drooling over your car. But the moment you curb-rash it, parking-lot-bumper it, gouge the side because you can't see how close you are to something when turning a corner... the love affair would be over... quickly replaced by frustration and disillusionment. Then you'd sell it and get something smaller, more manageable and more reasonable to drive. Thanks for posting though and keep looking for new ideas!

I get that you want a more futuristic modern look; I'm hearing that from many others too. As a designer who would like to design a car that can actually be manufactured and pass safety tests, I simply can't do the drama look. I'm paying attention to reality and trying to come up with a design that can become a real car. Something a wide range of people would like to buy. Something that's exciting and fun yet can work as a daily driver. Please feel free to post any other ideas though as it all helps to get an overall feel of where people are currently at in their thoughts and desires.

I've actually been working on a photoshop of the TF4 bumblebee Camaro lol. I think with some reworking it could actually look good. That doesn't mean I feel it should be the next gen car, but I want to show what a little change can do.

So I just created a new thread with a poll on my thoughts of a TF4 Camaro refresh. Let me know if you can see this is a 6th gen.

Times have changed though and now the pony/muscle car class is evolving towards sports car territory and that's where there's clashing expectations among those who still want a 427 big block muscle car, and those who want a powerful all-round road car. I've been doing sports car gt designs mostly and it seems they don't have enough "muscle" look. Quote:

The tear-drop canopy style is there in a couple of my designs. The pinched "coke bottle" waist is there. The wide beefy back (which is where the wings and engines are) thinning and elongated towards the pointed swept front is there in a couple of them. The influences are there. That's my thinking when I say the "military" look. And thank you for your service. Man I haven't seen that one image on the right in a long time lol. Back in the day that was considered a "futuristic" design concept. Now the current generation thinks George Loizou's thick, bulky tank-like design is "cutting edge" and "futuristic". Since the "future" demands less weight, it's going to be interesting to see what actually develops.

After playing around with military styles I got an idea and went back to an earlier design I did, adding some modifications to the fender lines and opening up the cabin in the front by lowering the front edge.
This has a different lower front and I removed the coke bottle waist effect. I need to do something with the hood but that should be fairly easy. It has a wider ledge between the top of the fender and cabin (which somebody mentioned they like) and I tried a couple of ideas on side marker lights. I mainly want to see if this look would still be accepted as "Camaro-like" or does the fender line go too far away from the heritage look.

I wonder what it would look like with a 4th gen SS style hoodscoop? On the markers how about making them into the wheel well arch like on the C7 and the Saturn Sky had.
