CJ Prowler Junkie Posts: 18860 From: Rochester Hills, MI USA Registered: JUL 2000	posted 01-12-2006 08:23 PM Unfortunately, both the Camaro and the Challenger were on turntables that you were not allowed to get up on to get closer. The Camaro never had the doors open, so I could not get any interior pictures like I was able to with the Challenger. This message has been edited by CJ on 01-12-2006 at 08:27 PM

CJ Prowler Junkie Posts: 18860 From: Rochester Hills, MI USA Registered: JUL 2000	posted 01-12-2006 08:45 PM I have to say that I didn't care for the car. The rear end of the car was very similar to the rear of the Corvette...which I, personally, have never cared for. I wasn't impressed with this car.

TLRandall Prowler Junkie Posts: 3855 From: Caldwell, Texas United States Registered: JUL 2002	posted 01-13-2006 08:36 AM Looks like a mustang from the side!!! I think GM has completely lost touch with what the public wants to buy.

Wayne Finch Prowler Junkie Posts: 4011 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: SEP 2000	posted 01-13-2006 10:12 AM Side or rear quarter view looks great. Rest looks piecemeal in my opinion. Front end looks like caddy wannabe.

Here is an interior pic. It rocks. very much like a 67-69 interior. Gen 1 Camaro fans will love this car. I hope it comes with a 396 and a 4-speed.

Kat Daddy Prowler Junkie Posts: 483 From: Nashville, TN, USA Registered: DEC 2002	posted 01-13-2006 10:28 AM I never have been very fond of the sharp lines and angular look GM is designing into several of their vehicles. In my humble opinion - they look like some sort of cartoonish, techno, science fiction junk to me. I think it all started with the Aztech. I'll bet their "hip" stylists are all of about 13 years old. GM has done some really nice designs and produces some great looking cars, I just don't like the look of this particular style. Chrysler's products have lines that are smoother, more artistic and look great!
Dale Beaman Prowler Junkie Posts: 2699 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: AUG 2002	posted 01-13-2006 10:50 AM It's got a goofy grin on it's face like the Corvette!
Kruisin Kat Prowler Junkie Posts: 578 From: Rochester, NH, USA Registered: JUN 2005	posted 01-13-2006 05:28 PM I'm a 60's Camaro fan hoping for a new retro that pulls my heart strings. This doesn't do it at all. The Challenger is hands down going to out sell the Camaro if this is what GM puts out. Side OK, Front to angular / futuristic, rear tail lights terrible.

halicat unregistered Posts: 578 From: Rochester, NH, USA Registered: JUN 2005	posted 01-13-2006 06:08 PM GM is letting their cars interbreed again.... Dan the man needs to photoshop some redneck teeth in that grin... not to bad from the side... its face and bum are nasty..

Dave Mills Prowler Junkie Posts: 5419 From: Johnstown, PA, USA Registered: JUL 2000	posted 01-14-2006 09:43 AM The only thing I like about the car is the roof line. I don't care for the back or the front. The Challenger looks a lot better to me.

tangled up in BLUE Prowler Junkie Posts: 11086 From: New Castle, Ind Registered: DEC 2000	posted 01-14-2006 05:40 PM WAY BETTER THAN THE GTO !!! ...I was never really a fan of the early Camaro, I don't like the smiling grill, or the scoop opening on the front of the hood....other than those little nitpicky things it is okay....but our family is buying HEMI Challengers
Randy Cobb Prowler Junkie Posts: 4070 From: Greensboro, NC Registered: JUL 2002	posted 01-14-2006 09:19 PM As I posted to the other thread, I guess I'm in the minority because I like it. The original green concept is better IMO. It all comes down to personal taste and I guess GM is running with the edgy box style as is the Caddys and particularly the Escalade. Escalade appears to be a success. Early shots of the updated styling of the Tahoe/Yukon (scheduled to be in showrooms in March) show this edge/box styling.

Don't get me wrong, I very much like both the Challenger and the Camero and kudos to the car companies. But..judging from these photos..I like the Camero better. JMO
Austrian Prowler Prowler Junkie Posts: 323 From: Vienna, Austria, Europe Registered: FEB 2004	posted 01-15-2006 04:44 PM Here is a video, that no one should see. It is from the GM design studio. How many new Mustang you can see ??? OK, I see one white Stang in the background. http://www.stangsunleashed.com/2005/media/naias06.camaro.wmv http://www.exn.ca/dailyplanet/view.asp?date=1/10/2006
halicat unregistered Posts: 323 From: Vienna, Austria, Europe Registered: FEB 2004	posted 01-15-2006 06:15 PM I just now watched a segment on Discovery channel's Daily Planet that was on the new Camero Concept.... showed the making of the concept Camero. It took 10 months to build and cost $15,000,000 ..... and yes.. there was a white 2005 Mustang in their shop... you think they would have thought of hiding it... not the sharpest tools in the shed...
Tom Santella Prowler Junkie Posts: 1484 From: Sandy Hook Ct. USA Registered: DEC 2002	posted 01-16-2006 10:02 AM I know I am naive, and I did own 2 Camaros in my time, and I would consider buying one if they make it, but isn't spending 15 mil on this concept a bit much considering the state of GM as a whole. Can that figure be correct, 15 mil in 10 months? If that's what it takes to do a concept ,then that's what it is. Just seems like a huge amount. That goes alomg way in workers salaries, or maybe not. ------------------ BackinBlack
halicat unregistered Posts: 1484 From: Sandy Hook Ct. USA Registered: DEC 2002	posted 01-16-2006 04:38 PM your right Tom... 15 million seens like alot but that is what was quoted...I guess thats the price tag to build an entire car from scratch.... I wonder if that price included the Stang...?
