They would sell and blow away any Camaro ever built with ease as far as performance goes . For as long as i could remember over my last 45 years around Camaros they always had that stigma over their head, maybe its time to let it go. |

I think the car should have an 80s inspired camaro for 2024+, with that hot Mustang GT wing.
LT2 Engine with Hybrid extension, 515 horsepower and 490 torque. Better interior that we are all counting on, etc. 0 - 60 in 3.7 seconds Quarter mile: 11.8 @ 122 MPH |

If it isn't some kind of continuation of it's shape, it's just some vehicle they're calling a Camaro. I don't know why people get hung on the retro look, I think it looks gobs better than the MY it was based off of. I'd like to see a continuation of the 6th gen look, which to me is gorgeous. I agree that a Camaro has to have a V8 option. Electric will get here eventually, we don't need to expedite it.

They should go back to building a big muscle car without all the track bullsh. Nobody brags about track times. Lose the back seats and just make a really big trunk. Do something like the 80s Camaro back glass that made it easy to put stuff in it. Maybe do something cute like a removable bench seat in back. Taller canopy, lower beltline. WTF is even up with the window sill at neck height. Let the chop shops do what they do and make a car I can see out of. A cabin that can fit big people in it with lots of cubby room. T-Tops, or something with a shred of creativity for the roof. It's 2019 figure it out. I said big alot because that's what Americans want. Big vehicles with big engines and big women. Shrinking the car down and throwing out everything but performance, especially track performance, was obviously a mistake. Small is feminine here and even women prefer big SUVs. |

It's a fine line between a 4-door, 4-seat sports sedan, and a 2-door, 4-seat coupe. It seems like many of you are asking for a sports sedan. It can't be a 2-seater; the Corvette fills that slot. Maybe it would help to define what everyone thinks a "Camaro" is. Right now, the requests are all over the map. GM isn't going to invest in anything unless they see a convincing business case for it, and sales of the 6th gen weren't it. Somebody is going to have to come up with a killer look and shape that everybody goes wow over, otherwise nothing is going to happen.
If we can come up with a consensus of what a Camaro is to people, it might be easier to start coming up with some design concepts. Forget what's under the hood; the focus has to be on looks. The only performance factor that would matter for this is if it's going to be electric, that opens up some new possibilities for styling, especially the front. I think a couple of things need to be set in stone to begin with though, and that would be it has to have 2 doors and 4 seats. Beyond that, let's see what people think and go from there.

That sounds like GM investing in full-electric car business is terrible plain and shouldn't allow Caddy doing car business.

They count for about 1/3 of the sales. So yes, a lot of people do care about them. Its also what helps sell the lower models.

Drop the V8 and I'm not buying a new one. I bought a RS and regret it everyday but I'm not shooting myself in the foot about it. Im going to pay this off, use it as my DD and then buy a V8 of the next gen(if there is one). If they stop production of a V8 Camaro i'll just buy a used one because that sound that only the V8's can produce is what drives the allure for me to own one. Camaro's and V8's go together. Without the V8 option, I just feel like it wont be a true Camaro.

Hello everyone!
It’s good to see that this thread is fully active lost of the time, it really makes me motivated to keep working on the project! As I said before I started school and I am currently interested in Automotive Aerodynamics, and I spoke with my professor through email (Online Class) and pitched my idea. He said during the semester we will be focusing on our car that we design and build from day one and that at the end of the semester we will have a finished car. I found it pretty convenient not only for me but for my side hobby which is this thread I guess? I plan on going into this long-term and I’ve read your replies and comments and found them very interesting. I renewed the car multiple times trying to make it pleasing to everyone, and the pics below are just concepts. My plan is for a front-engine Camaro, and for now, it is called the Camaro. It will have packages like the RS, SS ZL1 and such and will have a plug-in hybrid and fully electric version as well. In the near future, I will do the interior as well. To be honest the Camaro community can’t seem to agree on much regarding the design aspect of the car, but hopefully, with these mock-up ideas, we can maybe settle on something simplistic and aggressive. Thank you for sticking around! |

I loved the 3rd Gen. Wish someone could come up with a modern re-design that looks like a 3rd Gen. Had good visibility too. You know how people love to bash visibility in our camaros.
