I agree. It looks really, really good.

5th Gen Camaro looked good in convertible too, as did the Solstice GXP. Most look very meh though.

is it just me or do these pictures show a really sculpted body lines in comparison to the reveil pictures? the bottom of the doors and rear quarter panel look really defined. maybe it is just the new silver colour that makes them pop a little more. Should look good in white!!

But....I'm possibly getting a Hyper Blue SS....so you can't have one either! lol. I guess I'm going to have to give up the enjoyment of having a rare color like my current ABM. :(


I have to say, this convertible looks amazing. Normally I don't care for them either. That said, I'm still in for a coupe 100%.

Also, I will say something that I haven't seen anyone else say. its hard to say for sure based on the grainy pictures, but those wheels look to me to be something we haven't seen yet. At the very least, they look to be almost chrome, which I didn't even think was an option.

Anyways....looks heck of a lot better than this does in my opinion:

That looks really lame. Chevy did an outstanding job on their convertible.

As I've said all along, to put a hard tonneau on the convertible would require a unique and very small decklid. Many have been clamoring for it and it looks like they got their wish. It looks outstanding for sure. Just need to see what you can actually get in that trunk opening. It is VERY small now.

It was the drop 1/4 glass that was the concern. Never worried about the top. It still looks pretty tight, but obviously works.

Don't care how small the trunk opening is. I'll put the beer in the trunk 1 bottle at a time if I have to for that car!

The vert carries over the reverse Mohawk from the coupe in a very distinct way on the hard tonneau and rear deck lid including the waterfall down in between the rear seat backs, stylish and very impressively done. Bravo.

That is a very positive attitude and clearly outlines your priorities, both of which I fully share and support.

Golf clubs with the top up on the other hand would be a very big priority for me also. And from what I can see that could be an issue. One I would be willing to investigate further, I might add.

Oh, and it goes without saying, if the price is right this puts the Camaro convertible in an entirely different league. This is near luxury segment stuff right here. Mustang will be looking for fold up tonneau covers stowed in the trunk or just have the top sticking up on that stop light top drop.

Very curious to see the reaction on the Mustang sites over this.

here's what the mustang "tonneau" consists of. They're not designed to protect the top at all, just try to "smooth out" the side wells where the mechanism arms rest.
