Wow… Looks like a combination Air Force Fighter and Rocket… HOW MUCH?

Overall, looks sweet. My only complaints are the stupid rear fender “gills.” They were always dumb on the mustang, and they’re doubly dumb on a Camaro. The interior is a bit odd, too, but not more than you’d expect from a concept.

Wake me when they put out the Pontiac…

I like the car a lot I feel that if may be to late though. When is the car expected to be released into production and what is the likely hood of it acutullay happining?
This car is what GM needs… it rocks!

You blew it. Either make it look like a 69 camaro or don’t do it at all. Or bring back the 70 chevelle and make the inside look like the old cars not like Buck Rogers crap. Just saw the Challenger concept and it gets 100% my vote, your new camaro 1% vote. The new mustang looks like an old one, a success. The new challenger looks like an old one, a success. The new camaro looks like dog do. The thing about the new mustang is the dash looks cheaper than a $1.00 bill but it looks like a 69. The 69 camaro is so beautiful, if it aint broke don’t fix it. New camaro is flop. Sincerely, Bob Paris

Put a split grill and quad headlights on it and make it the new GTO and it would have me sold. But as a ‘Kermaro’ it shucks.

Challenger all the way, baby!

This car looks great. As a former Camaro owner (2 in the 70’s and 1 in the 80’s), I’m ready to buy this one now. Just hope it doesn’t take too long to get into production.

Love It. Build It. Don’t screw it up with cheap parts and lackluster fit & finish. Get Lutz all over it like he was the Solstice and this is a guaranteed winner. The Mustang will have a true fighter on the market.

I’ve never been more excited & positive about U.S. automakers.

Great concept, this one is a real winner and has me on the waiting list, Chrysler please do not make the challenger (go back to drawing board)

I LOVED IT. I AM CURRENTLY A CAMARO OWNER (67 CAMARO AND 85 CAMARO IROC). I LOVE CAMAROS TO THE FULLEST. CAN’T WAIT TILL IT COMES OUT SO I COULD DRIVE IN STYLE.

My first car was an ‘89 silver Camaro with T-tops. If I don’t see some damn T-Tops on this thing when it comes out I’ll cry.

excellent modern hit “heritage” in it. as if 1970-2002 never happened and the camaro continued to be refined on it’s basic lines.

i also heve not “hate” for the new challenger but its so much of a rehash that i dont know if i can take it serious. as if some rich guy just customised his 1970 challenger. kinda “pro toured” it if you will.

Looks awesome,hopefully priced within reach like GM says.Lose the IRS,a solid axle would make more people happy.Get the car into production asap,I need another Camaro.

The car has defining cues of a first gen Camaro, which makes it genuine to it’s name unlike the GTO. This alone will help to bring back real Camaro enthusiasts. The car also has a very new and fresh moral to it also though which might be enough to bring younger buyers, that may not already have a backgound of Camaro heritage. This could be a very hot seller for GM (a practical muscle car that has 5 major aspects, drivability, fuel mileage, handling, comfort, and high performance). Just imagine if they were to offer a Copo, Yenko, or Baldwin Motion version. Very good competition for the Mustang and the GT500. Now if GM could handle another vehicle of there’s being faster than thier beloved Corvette, that would be a miracle.

“Now if GM could handle another vehicle of there’s being faster than thier beloved Corvette, that would be a miracle.”

Consider that the best engine you can expect to see in this is the 400-hp LS2 (found in the GTO, SSR, and the base ‘Vette), and that it’ll be significantly heavier than the ‘Vette (as a 2+2 seater, and made with steel, instead of composite, body panels). Even given the LS2 engine, this’ll be slower than a ‘Vette. And don’t expect anything near the handling of any ‘Vette, or the power of the Z06.

This is obviously competition for the Mustang, and the Challenger (though it’ll beat the Challenge to market by a couple of years), but not the Ford GT or the Chevy Corvette.

Love it! I’ll be first in line to put down my deposit! When might it go into production?

My guess – like most GM concepts, by the time this comes out, the idea and trend will be so tired and old that no-one will care (witness the embarrassment of the SSR – when that first came out it was really cool, and then there was an eternity before the production version was available). GM is so lackadaisical in getting there ideas to fruition – and then when they do, it’s usually underwhelming due to high price, poor build quality, and crummy interior. The new Corvette is a step in the right direction – the new HHR is more of a reality (ie: too little too late)

Over all not a bad looking car. I dont care for the grill. The front is too pointed. Its about time GM came out with something to give the mustang some competition. But, is it once again too little too late?

Plese oh please no more retro crap! Instead of trying to please the aging crowd that had original Camaro’s GM needs to move forward and push the design envelope. The SS concept was a step in that direction, yet is it on the road?? NO! And they wonder why people aren’t buying there cars.

I am finally glad to see GM is doing something right. Love Camaro’s and would like this to go into production so I can buy one. The add ons I think that will help is some chrome and the old hide away headlights. Oh yeah there should be a convertable too!

car looks great except front end. needs to be like the concept drawings.more like the 69. this one is too pointed

Where do I sign up? I can’t wait to get my hands on one!

I’m a multi faceted car lover but I got to say GM is a day late and a ‘69 grill short. They coulda got themselves out of trouble with this idea five years ago. Better yet, they’d be so instantly into the red if they’d make a ‘57 Bel-Air copy. Just a copy. NO retro nothin’ except the drive train…what IS the problem?
Ditto for a ‘65 or ‘67 GTO….they’d sell zillions….

Its great to see GM and DCX coming out with muscle cars.

I think the Challenger looks better, but the Camaro is more futuristic, so it may “wear” better in the long run.

http://www.challengertalk.com

The Challenger concept is a California car. The original Camaro was a California car. This design doesn’t have that something (especially the grill) something, the magic. Just hire the guy that did this!:

http://popularhotrodding.com/features/0312phr_fifthgen_04_z.jpg

I’ve been waiting on this one! Hope to have
T-Tops! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

I love the side view, but the front and back ned work.

It’s about time chevy!!! But look’s like you have a winner I have owned several camaro’s and currently have a 73 Z28 and my son caleb has a 73 Z28 also only two changes need to be made Z28 package and come on guy’s where’s that 502 big block thank’s Donnie

What took so long? I’ve had two Camaros (87IROC &89RS) and a Firebird, and would be first in line for another! (as long as it stays RWD V8 of course!) Get this out of the auto shows and on to the road! It’s been four years already, let’s just hope they don’t wait too much longer!

Somewhere under the skin of this thing is the Camaro concept they SHOULD have built. This is confirmed by the reaction I get from everyone I show it to. See below:

When I showed people pictures of the Mustang concept 2 years ago, they said: “YES! When can I buy one?”

When I now show them the new Challenger concept, they say: “YES! When can I buy one?”

But, when I show them the Camaro concept, they say: “Hmmmm, well I like this and this, but not this and this. It’s ok, I guess.”

The reason? Someone “tweaked” and “modernized” this design before it was built for NAIAS. I guarantee that somewhere, on someone’s desk, is a drawing or clay model of this car’s ORIGINAL design, and it’s beautiful.

It is more like the ‘69 and less “fighter jet” BS. You can see in the overall shape that the right idea was there. It just got “Lutzed” along the way, and lost the pure and simple design that would have had buyers standing in line for it. Hope they fix it before production, or even the Z06 engine won’t be enough to drag buyers from Ford and Dodge.

The stance is right but the front end needs work. Give the headlights a wider diameter, delete the point in the middle and give the grille a little more breathing room so that it doesn’t look like its frowning so much. I love the chop top look.

The car looks great. I want mine with a bird on the hood with flames coming out of its nose, ram air, and convertible. When and where can I get one? 400 HORSES!!! – 30MPG!!! Thank goodness I didn’t break down and buy a Mustang. Also, build it in the States and you are back GM.

As a Long Time Camaro Owner 67RS (fully restored)I love it. It is about time GM takes hold of the American Auto Sales. This camaro looks great very clean design. Power, influence, force, strength, and yet beauty…you just put the muscle back in car. The console gauges are retro nice touch! I just hope this isn’t one of GMs dreams that fades away. Have some guts and compete with the world!!!

Being a Chevy fan, I think the Camaro concept car could compete very effectively against the the new Mustang. Chevy needs an affordable middle class muscle car. The Corvette is too expensive for the average car enthusiast, though envied by all. The GTO is painfully plain and needs to be retrodesigned. Pontiac designers missed the mark on that one! (I use to own a 67 GTO and I can’t stand to look at the new models.) In all cases the key is decent gas mileage with performance.

I never owned a Camaro, but always wanted to and when I seen the pictures I said that’s my next new vehicle. I have to agree with others however; there probably is a drawing or clay model that has even simpler lines and a one that looks great and will sell more than the projected numbers. I also agree that the wheels should not exceed 17 or 18 inches. Great concept, however; as others have suggested tone it down to a the original drawing or clay model.

i think that u should make and sell this new type of camaro

If they sell of for 24k, offer a no frills version. i would buy it.
i have a 69 RS/SS and a 10 second 98 Z28…so i DO love the camaro, but if they present it like they did the silverado SS or the first of the GTO’s were only the rich can afford them, i wont buy it.

Make it affordable, fast and dependable.

Leave the door open for some basic owner modifications that will not void the warranty and you would have a winner.

I just hope and pray it will not be too expensive for the average joe.

I also agree that the front end it too pointed from a top down view. This probably assists with the general aerodynamics of the vehicle. I also agree that the grill and head lights could be larger. I asked a friend to look at the new concept and he said it looks like the grill is smiling. I’m a huge fan of Chevrolet but believe the “bowtie” in the front should be replaced by the 3 bar red/white/blue Camaro symbol akin to the Impala symbol. I love the rear fender grills and everything past the front end back.

this has got to be the most god-awful car i have ever seen, it wouldn’t be as bad if they didn’t call it the remake of the 1969 camaro.

I LOVE CAMARO AND NOTHING ELSE! MY FIRST CAR WAS A CAMARO AND I NOW OWN 2 MORE. I GREW UP AROUND CAMAROS AND BETWEEN MY UNCLES THEY HAVE OWNED AT LEAST 13 OF VARIOUS YEARS AND MODELS. I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THE PLANS OVER A YEAR AGO WHEN I READ THE POPULAR HOTRODDING MAG AND SAW THE PICTURE IN IT. I WAS FLOORED TO SAY THE LEAST. I JUST SAW THIS ONE AND IT SUCKS IT SUCKS IT SUCKS IT SUCKS IT SUCKS IT SUCKS IT SUCKS IT SUCKS IT SUCKS IT SUCKS IT SUCKS IT SUCKS. THANK YOU

The front is too pointed and the grill looks cheep in the photos. I would hope that they will only use the rear fender ‘gills’ if they are functional. The rear window looks a little long, but as long as they don’t make it a hatch back it is ok. Over all the car is very nice and a step in the right direction for a company, that if you remove Corvette and Cadillac, has very little as far as cars to look at. I would pay more for this then the Mustang as long as the fit and finish is very high.

This is without a doubt, the best looking Camaro ever. The 1969 Camaro should never be duplicated it was awesome. This car has hints of the 69 but screams 21st century. Chevy please don’t waste time go ahead and build it, but make sure the fit and finish are top notch.

Do it to em, give it to em, shock it to em!!!!!!!!!!

Nice car i want one.Had a SS camaro 2001 traded for 2004 Cobra Mustang.But I want a new Camaro instead.,

build it, build it, make it now Ive already got ten thou. to put down and buy it.

Love to see the camaro atleast be recognized as missing from the lineup @ GM. Currently restoring a 69 and excited with the new design of the concept, however concerned it will be priced too high for the middle class as the original cars were marketed for. Make it affordable, no t-tops(never saw t-tops on a first gen.) And I would definately buy this car.

OH great another gas guzzling moronic car from GM
How many countries do we need to invade for oil before they get it?

I love this and I hope that you realize that this will sell fast if you make the cost reasonable, and not make the cost that you would pay for an actual 69 Camaro with all the history….

I don’t know about you, but 30 mpg highway is pretty darn good especially for a sports car. I believe the mustand V6 doesn’t even get that kind of fuel economy. It’s good to see Chevrolet developing technologies like displacement on demand to save on fuel. I think they are getting it.

i dont like your new dezine if your gona make it look old doo it i would rather take a old piece ov **** 67 camaros 4 free than that space car plus the 67 worth a lot ov money and i love the possie the sound every thing

This design does not look like a muscle car at all. It looks more like an expensive Mercedes SL AMD coupe….too luxury looking on the outside, like a rich person’s car. This is the type of design I would have expected from DaimlerChrysler (MercedesChrysler, I am sure Walter P. Chrysler rolled over in his grave when the Germans bought Chrysler), not GM. The tail lights remind me of a Corvette, and the interior looks like a space ship (with the yellow accent lights looking like something you’d find in a 20 year boy’s Honda Civic.) As a retro Camaro design, it does not succeed at all, nor does it succeed as a new Camaro….it just looks like some new luxury / sports car, NOT a muscle car…

i have always wanted a 69 camaro….GM..get this car into production as soon as you can…long overdue !!!

i think its wonderful it about time. iam a GM lover at heart i have had a camaro 1985 rs i like the new concept i curently own a 1998 caddy eldorado but iam going to waite until this one is put on the show room floor before i buy my next car…

Ps.
i would love to se it in a black one
J.lambrose

nice to finally see soething that has more heart and soul than the cavalier inspired GTO. dont getme wrong, props to the GTO for it is an import beater.. GM. build it. LUTZ get your hands dirty……you know the drill..

The camaro looks good. The new design really has the old look to it with the new technology. Probably the only thing that I would like to see changed would be the GIANT wheels… but other than that I would say the car is awesome. The car looks good and I dont think anyone really needs to be crying about the design. I also think Dodge nailed it right on with the Challenger, very nice!

I really like the overall design. The ‘69 Camaro has always been my favorite model. I would like to see the RS grille treatment…I always loved the hide away headlights. GM needs to get with the program and catch up to the Mustang…it’s 1965 all over again! Will GM ever learn?

OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!!! I am in heaven!!!!!! I have been telling my entire family as “soon as I grow up, I am getting a ‘68 or ‘69 Camaro!” Well, I still say this today at 37 years old and come hell or high water I am going to have to get one of these! This is absolutely awesome! I could just wet myself over the whole situation. Sure, it isn’t identical as the older one but damn close and looking good! Besides you couldn’t bring it back exactly as it was. We have grown up and so can the camaro! It’s grown up, same features, just a more mature look! This is the adult Camaro. GIMMEE ONE!!! Waaaaaaaaa Hoooooooooooo! Estatic in Michigan!

Is great Chevrolet give resurection to the legend.
ITS AWESOME!!!!!

This Camaro concept is gonna blow Mustang right off the map! Ford and Chrysler couldn’t keep up in the 60’s, and I think History is about to repeat itself! Don’t get me wrong, I like the new Mustang GT, and the Challenger concept very much.But for my money,its the Camaro.

P.S.
Whats up with the Charger & GTO? Now there’s a lost opportunity to build some cool retro muscle cars!

since theres gonna be a chevy camaro, will there be another pontiac firebird is the big question for me??

GM You blew it again. Either make it look like a 69 camaro or don’t do it at all. Just saw the Challenger concept and Chrysler was right on the mark, the new camaro is too much corvette and too many body mods. The new mustang looks like an old one, a success. The new challenger looks like an old one, a success. The new camaro looks like somebody dropped a 69 camaro into a vette pile. The 69 camaro is so beautiful, if it aint broke don’t fix it. New camaro is what you would expect from a car company that can’t get it together. Sincerely, Kevin Malone

over all a nice car, cant wait too get one. what about a z28. need all we can get. dont blow it by taking too long to get it out……

I love the new Camaro. I hope they come out with a RS/SS (Rally-sport/super-sport) version. I would love to see that “SS” emblem on the grill of that car.

DO IT U HEAR ME ….. D . O I . T = Do it am waiting hungry for camaro’s …. i feel like am waiting for ages and ages to have a camaro ….. well i do have a 92 but i want a brand new one …. so do it roght now hear me GM .. .dont screw this up !!!

Am I the only one that thinks its a caddy cts or stc or what ever they call them. I’ve been looking at 67-69 camaro on ebay but, I’ve not bought one in hopes the new camaro would look like a camaro not a caddy but I guess that was wishful thinking.

First, I’m a Chevy fan. I liked the new Mustang when it came out. The way the fenders partialy cover the headlights made it look mean. Always thought Chevy should retro the Camaro and I love this concept! The front (and rear for that matter) have a much more aggressive look. Now, it looks to me like the Mustang is pouting! Chevy needs to build this car!

when is this bad boy coming out, i need a price

Just turning 18, got a job as an EMT, I am currently looking into cars (passion)to buy, if it would be possible please get to me when this is going to be put into production, I would wait as long as it takes. Like many of the above comments, the car looks amazing (looks like a cross between a Mustang GTO and a dam cadillac), don’t mess it up with cheap parts that will cause early damage to the vehicle.

I have been a camaro lover for years. I have to admitt that at first glance, my thought was yuck, it’s terrible. I have been looking at for the last two days and I have to say that it is growing on me. I would still take a ‘69 before the camaro concept, but I warming up to it. A few things I would like to see is a CONVERTIBLE! Please build this right, don’t mess it up with cheap parts and half@#$ed work. I want to see the camaro stick around this time.

you need this car! Chevy needs something new! It seems as though Dodges are taking over trucks, and since the mustang came out with their new car, chevy has taken a backseat! CHEVY NEEDS THIS CAR! IT’s NICE! (and please, reasonable prices, and no cheap parts!

1. Put in engines that are quiet, powerful and don’t vibrate cheaply. Must have options to get 0-60 in

They’ll never make one for the Middle guy! I already own a New Mustang because I’m a musle car fan in general. I think the Camaro GM stop making was the biggest turd ever! I have friends that have owned them. So maybe there’s a chance to see a cool Camaro once more! Buuuut it’ll be over priced like always for the few. So if I’m going to spend 30k and add another retro car to the drive, it’ll be the Challenger in 2008!

this car is kick a$$ !!!!!

Greatlooking car, with all of the retro cars coming off the assembly line and the sixty’s surge for horsepower it looks like american iron may make a come back in recapturing the american market for muscle cars.
Last muscle car I owned was a Buick GS 455 (1970)looks like the good old days are coming back.
I would buy one.

Love it for the most part. Drop that weak crappy IRS and go with the solid axle. Camaros are my favorite car in the world, I currently have a 2000SS. GM will be back in the game with this one. When will it be comming out and what models will be offered ( RS,Z28,SS).I’ll have the cash in hand waiting. GM don’t screw this up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want one…where the hell it it?

this is one of the best machines known to men.

The CAMARO has been my favorite. This new model is better than before. When it comes out down here at Brownsville I’m buying it. I have the $$$ ready for when it does. Even though I don’t know the price. It will be mine.

Looks Sweet! I just hope it hits the streets and not some GM Vault.

Any info on a Z-28 or SS?

First of all Thank You Gm for building it and calling it the Camaro rather than Chevelle. As I’ve said on the other blogs….everyone out there that’s shoutin out “Challenger Challenger the best concept everâ€?, pull your head out of your a**es. This isn’t a concept, there’s nothing new about it. It’s a 1972 Challenger that’s simply refined with better cues and smoother edges. Wow…..that must have taken a lot of work from Dodge to come up with. And please tell me who is the person on this thread that set the rule stating that the Camaro HAD to be straight retro??? If you are a tru Camaro enthusiast you will be able to see the 60’s accents in the fender line, hood lines, entire side and yes even the front end. It combines a retro appearance with a modern look that will appeal for many years. Those of you saying that Hortons Design is better…. it is a great design but it’s not realistic. This design would have to share the same platform as the Pontiac Solstice and wouldn’t even be in the same class as the Mustang anymore but rather the Miata. All you haters out there that are saying GM isn’t going to be around long enough to even build this car, do some damn research. GM sold 9.17 million vehicles last year, Toyota only 8.1 mil, and CHEVROLET alone 4.6 million, (for those of you that’s counting Chevrolet alone outsold Ford for the first time since 1986). Oh and you Ford fans, the Great Grand daughter of Henry Ford is one of the most powerful Executives within Ford Motor company and guess what, she really really doesn’t like performance vehicles (ie Mustang). Hats off to GM for creating an outstanding Camaro Concept. It looks immaculant and until it is built I will enjoy smoking 05′ Mustangs and ricers with my 98′ Z28.

I like it, except the front grille needs to be larger. One of the most recognizable features of the old ‘69 was the gigantic maw. This one looks undersized by comparison. If they dropped the bottom part of the grille so that it’s just above the turn lights it would look SWEET. I photoshopped a version for the heck of it and it looks amazing. Wish I could send it to those guys before they start building it.

I love the new Camaro design,I really hope it is made into a production car.

PLEASE SEND PICTURES OF NEW CAMARO. AND PICTURES WITH
DIFFERENT COLORS.
PLEASE ENTER PRICES

I’d buy one if it sold for $35k and was AWD, V8, & a 6 speed with ~400-450hp. Or maybe 350-400hp. Chevy needs to embrace AWD, think of the factory racing they could do against european and japanese sports cars and have a damned good chance at beating them. They need to step into the 21st century and not build a car that only a few old geezers might buy because it “Stays true to RWD” or some crap like that. Trust me, make it AWD and it will appeal to a lot more people. Not to mention the fact there won’t be nearly the traction problems with an AWD car than there would be with solely a 2 wheel wonder.

All I am saying is GM needs to build something that sells. AWD, 6 speed V8 would sell. Trust me on this one.

I have owned five Camaros or Firebirds in the past. A ‘68 Firebird, ‘76 Trans Am, ‘79 10th Anniversary Trans Am, ‘80 Camaro RS, and a ‘80 Camaro Z-28 and have loved them all. I haven’t thought about purchasing an F-car since 1980 when I felt the last good ones were made. I now own a ‘94 Mustang GT but when I saw the pictures of this new concept Camaro all I could say was “holy crap, that is one sweet ride” ! It’s about time GM got this going, you must build this car. First thing I said was it looks like a modern ‘69, and I absolutely love it. Keep the goofy scoops and hidden headlights of previous F-cars away and sell this retro look. Since I get a GM discount also I’m ready to buy one. Now gimme a high revin’ 302 like the original ‘69 and let’s go hunt Mustangs once again !!!!

Wow what a ride awesome. Great job how much is it?

I work in sales for Chevrolet. Ever since the last year of the camaro in 2002 I had really hoped they would re-introduce it. As a sales person it is really hard to sell cars when you really don’t have a real sports car under 50k. I hope they bring this new camaro into production because everyone that I have talked to is really excited about it. I just hope that it doesn’t take to long. One complaint that I am hearing is that the front end looks strange. Hopefully they will redesign the grill. Besides that I think the car looks awesome. Bill in sales……….

The real Camaro, when it first was introduced, was the young persons muslecar. A car that you could afford to buy, and personilize with aftermarket parts, at a reasonable price. The 2006 Camaro needs go back to the true concept of what it was designed to be.
This car looks overblown,overthought in everyway possible.

Oh please carGods make this miricles happen. beautiful lines, the interior dash a bit cheese but totaly retro, refine the interior and a price range even five grand above the stang and ill buy it. Ive been waiting as have tens of thousands of chevy fans,watchign as preciouse time has passed and vehicles that should have never have replaced this icon. SSR GTO and the list goes on. Please build this and next on the list, the rebirth of the stingray and chevelle nameplates and the retirement of the carlo,and buick line.give me the DOD on the camaro chevell and even a camino and ill buy everyone of them. long live the general, show the imports how to build muscle.

I think I’d buy one if it were to come with a 3 speed and drum brakes….and a crazy sony mosfet eight track system.

I honestly love this car and this design.. its solid, and in order for gm to redeem itself, they need to come back and make this car EXACTLY the wasy we see it.. they cant cop out and cheapen it up and make it less attractive, the american people love THIS car, and if you put the camaro name on a car like this, it will sell, and gm will maybe have 2 or 3 cars going for them, beside the corvette

The front end ruins the looks of the rest of the car. please edesign the grill area … i-m a GM man all the way but i-ll have to tell ya the new Challenger ahs got this one beat…

looks like a modern turd…why can’t the 67-69 body be reproduced with modern componants?

it really looks like a turd…why can’t gm and the other mfgers get it through their heads people WANT the old body styles like they were then only with the better body materials so they don’t rot and high tech combination

are they so stupid that they can’t understand people are sick of looking at space age ****???????? its custom mutated car show concepts from the 60s and 70s crap

This Camaro Concept is by far the most attractive and menacing looking Camaro yet.

This car needs to be put into production 100% AS IS with no changes (aside from losing the orange on the interior, color coordinate it to the exterior perhaps).

Those who are crying ‘it’s not retro enough’ really need to stop living in their younger years and realize this is 2006, not 1969. This Camaro Concept has plenty of retro hints, while not being a direct ripoff of the original like the Mustang and Challenger. How much talent does it take to copy an old design? None.

Everyone I have shown pictures of this new Camaro to have loved it. Only 1 or 2 prefer the carbon copy Challenger. Most are in agreement this Camaro is one of the most threatening (to Mustangs and Rice Burners) looking vehicles they’ve ever seen. The front end looks menacing (don’t look at just the official pics, check out pics others have taken at the car show(s) and the rear with the afterburner style taillights have a very intimidating appearance. As if it’s saying ‘keep off my ass or else’.

If Chevrolet keeps this car within a couple hundred dollars of the Mustang, they may very well have a major threat to the Mustang population…

BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME!

I guess this is one of those cars that you either love or hate. It’s clear to see the ‘69 styling, but am I crazy to see some 3rd gen cues in the front? I am curious to see how t-tops would look on it, not hopeful mind you, just curious, and I do agree that sales might suffer from the angry look of the front end. That being said, I LOVE Camaros!! Build this one and you’ll make a lot of people happy (restore faith in GM and all that). Just do it, and do it quickly.

lol this car is a JOKE come on Ford Shelby gt500 could beat this car but i anit in 2 Ford the Challenger will smoke this lil peace of muscle car u say it is come on 6.1 hem, top speed 195 n 425hp………. GM suck thats all i have 2 say

Well……REMEMBER the 2002 Bel Air Concept?
Will GM build this one?

Hideous, simply hideous.

for the dude who said “AWD” for racing you really need to get some stats straight. this thing would annialiate a G35 coupe. AWD is illegal in all sports where its not completely embraced by the entire lot of competition (exception GT-racing, where only Audi has AWD). AWD is great, but racing youre put into a completely different category. the weight of the AWD system to survive the torque produced by a V8 would heavily offset any benefit to AWD. and AWD is not embraced by many peoples. (Silverado SS, great allpurpuse all season truck, but horrible for sales.)

if they wanna go all out they should get a patent for the VAG DSG. they could also have a 6 or 7 spd version as well, (the 7 would be purely for cruising and mileage)

AWD is great. if you think differently go do some research on Audi’s rallye heritage. there is a reason Audi was barred from rallye, and why AWD was banned from all motorsports at the time. if they were to build an AWD F1 or KART it would be truely astonishing, but for now look at the Audi RS6 that races the Zo6, CTS-V and Viper in GT-series cup racing. my dream car is an RS Avant. 0-60 in under 5 seconds in a wagen. nuff said.

I have seen a few concept cars for the 07′ Camaro. I have owned 3 different camaros and I still think the 67′-69’s look absolutely Mean. I really do NOT like this look that it has been given. It looks too much like the new dodges and is WAY to big. Its almost fat looking and loses its original Sleek Mean appearance it once had. I do like the new look to the old style interior though. I understand your trying to take it into the new millienium but do so with respect with what made it what it is. Sleek it out like its original appearance. The other concept car I seen was red and Extremely mean looking….that one I thought would have been AWESOME. I do not like this look though and it appears this is what has been chosen. If so I will not be buying a new camaro which REALLY saddens me. Just my personal thought.

Heard GM rushed this concept design in order to have something for the JAN 06 Detroit Auto Show. Agree with most that this design needs some tweaking (and hopefully will be), but they have rightly channeled the 1st Gen models. The worst thing GM could do would be to can the entire concept of an affordable, reliable 4-seat sports car (coupe and hopefully convertible) so that they can deliver bland cars like the current Impala and Malibu that only Avis and Hertz will buy.

Had a ‘67 Camaro RS that was absolutely awesome, and would love to see a new-gen adopt the hide-aways and smaller exterior dimensions.

When are orders starting! Make mine black! And also an SS car! When they do come out they will be very hot and $$ damn adjusted market crap. Should be first come first served!

I used to own a 69 camero and wish chevy would try there hand at a retro camero like ford and dodge did. I’m sure the camero will live a short life if this is where it is going. Nice interior but on the out side. Well, I wouldn’t want to be caught driving this

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAA!!!!
the camero is dead and buried! ..Give it up already!!!! this is just another “me too” car. Gm can’t come up with an origional thought,,let alone a design. They have always been behind, and always will be..and this car is just more proof that “Curious George” could do better.

the car looks beautiful looks better than mustang
when this car come out to market

this is awesome. as a camaro man i have been waiting for this for sooo long. when i heard the news i almost cried. when i saw the pictures i drooled. its amazing

I have loved Camaros since I was a teenager. I have had a 1974 Camaro, and currently own a 1996 Camaro. I will definitely purchase this new Camaro. I can hardly wait. I CAN NOT see myself in a Ford Mustang. This new Camaro is a dream. Build it and I will buy!

This is awesome. I hjave it pencilled in as a graduation present to myself when i graduate the year after it is released. My only question is how much of my savings is this gonna wind up takin?

I have mixed feelings about this new concept Camaro. I’ve been the proud owner of 4 first generation Camaro’s and Firebird’s ( 68 RS 4brl 327 and 68 Z/28 302 Camaro’s. 67 4brl 326 and 68 400 firebird’s ). And for me I’m kinda scratchin my head on this one. I’m thinking, Why didn’t GM just create a modern day version of the 1969 Camaro in much the way Chrysler has just recently shown us with their new Dodge Challenger R/T concept that has 1970 written all over it ? .. That Challenger looks fantastic !! .. I’ll probably buy one too if GM dosen’t do something better here with this Camaro concept. This Concept Camaro isn’t a bad looking car. Infact it’s kinda cool looking. But I’d just like to see the new Camaro looking much more like a cleaned up 69 model from front to back than anything else. In my opinion, if GM does that in much the way we have seen with Chrysler and what has been done with this new Challenger car that they are certain to produce, The Camaro sales will go absolutly thru the roof!. Now just try to imagine seeing cowl induction hooded Z/28’s and SS Camaro’s again. Or even some really wild COPO or ZL-1 versions that Chevrolet could offer on a limited run. Automobile shopping would become really fun again and it would also give Ford and Chrysler something to really be concerned with. This new Camaro design will sell for sure. But not anything like a cleaned up 1969 look-a-like would have done.

Make it look like the 1969 Z28 and you WILL own the market! Here is an opportunity to bring back the greatest vehicle chevy ever put out. At least give us options we can have on the car like the 69 Z28 gille, Front and rear bumpers/lights. The concept car looks nice but it needs “That Look” …more like the 69 Z28. I would love to work on this project!

i love it it needs 2 have a hard top convertible

Looks good. Why do I just get the feeling that if GM produces it, it will suck? Oh I know, because it will probably end up being a badge enginered Saab or something.

Too bad the production car will look like a totally watered down version!

117……..nice comment. You’ve probably been blown away too many times by various Camaro’s in your little “car”. Most likely a rich yuppie that thinks he’s smarter than evryone else because his car has “sophistication”. Import owner for sure!! Go home. Why would you bother to leave a comment about something you obviously hate? I gotta go my mullet needs a trim………peace

Exterior looks good but that dash has got to go. Can you say “impossible to read at a glance”. Way too gimmickly if you ask me.

On the other hand, at least it’s not another f&^%*n SUV..

Yeah, the interior is pretty ‘out’, but its only the concept– its kinda supposed to be, isn’t it?

OH BOY!!! A new Camaro,………Mullets will be back in style!

[...] Chevrolet Camaro Concept, o’boy! Published April 27th, 2006 in random [...]

Sweet! They did this photoshoot in Dallas! I can recognize a lot of those places, like the Dallas City Hall, for instance. Good for GM!

This car looks hotttt. I dont think u rele need to do anyhting to it and the interior looks great as well. Overall it looks great and I cant wait to buy it!!

I’m glad GM has Pulled there head out of the Ass but I think all you red necks who are looking for a solid Rear axle are miss guided this car should have in fact it needs IRS. just like the belovid corvette. Anything else is a waste.

Ford got it right with the new Mustang. Dodge has it right with the Challenger concept car. Chevy has got it all wrong. That thing looks like a mash-up of the Mustang Challenger and is butt ugly.

I think this car is beautiful and should definitely be sold a.s.a.p!!! Can’t wait….

I was watching T.V. and the G4 channel preveiwed this 2008 camaro and i’v always wanted a camaro. So I was woundering how much money this new 2008 camaro would be????

Guys n gals at GM. first and foremost the Mustang can kiss my ass. I agree the Camaro should come back and real soon. But you should really take a look at Kris Horton’s Camaro concept before producing this one

The camaro looks nice but the mustang Gt 500 will run all over top of the new camaro.

What is the cost of the new Camaro and is there a waiting list ? If there is how do I get on it.
Thank You Bill

GM should leave it to the pros when it comes to cars.

C’mon, the reason the production was halted because the kids that actually wanted to buy one couldn’t because if incessant GM-style bloating of crap any sports car shouldn’t have, such as 9million-way power adjustable seats, leather, ad naseum.

Build a real sports car, and get rid of the fat 50-something amenities, and sell it for what its worth.

Lets not go there on the 50-year old tech GM is relying on milking to its bankruptcy, citing suspension on the vette (hello? leaf springs deserving to be on a truck is hi-tech? ooh, but it’s mono man, mono) and pretty much every pushrod crap engine they keep shoving down our throats.

Still buying Japan cars here, by the way more made in America than ANY so-called ‘American’ make.

the car iz just 2 good 2 b true gm,chevy. build it have it with a hardtop convertable.

This is a seriously great looking machine, it looks good from any angle, and the interior is retro, without looking old or dated, I sure hope GM builds it and soon!!! Maybe even slip in the Corvette LS7 motor and beat Ford’s upcoming Shelby GT500, before it comes to market, What a move! Also it would be a definite “halo� car for GM at a time when they could use one, as well as a way to beat the Japanese in a market in which they do nor seriously compete…yet. Come on GM, take Nike’s advice: Just do it!

coolio car. how much $bing$ $bling$

Overall this car looks very good but would be better if it had RS style hidden headlights. Also lose the orange accents inside and it would be great.

If they chopped off the grill of this car and put something else on it it would look amazing. The rest of the car is nearly flawless. However, I would like to point out how identical it looks to the concept drawings of the 05 Mustang though.

PICTURES CAMARO

Car needs to have RS or SS symbol on grill not the bowtie. The grill doesnt look enough like a 69. The rear end is too short kinda like the corvette. There should be a 427 or 572 engine option.

this is a nice care i want to be one the owners of this car

Oh my GOD!!! I can hardly wait for this Camaro to be released! As an owner of a ‘69 Z-28, and then a ‘93 Camaro..Finally! A little early for my mid-life crisis, but I’ll deal with it.

Hurry up Chevrolet!

hey!!!!! i might be only a young teenager but i know alot about cars. I’ve seen the dodge concept and i thought wow!!! Dodge is taking it up a notch and trying to bring back the old days. Then i saw the camaro. OMG!!!!!!!!! It has the rear of a porsch, back fenders of a GT, and the front of a new age muscle car!!! If GM gets this out under $20,000 like i’ve been hearing about then I think the camaro is back in business!!!
Q: When is it coming out? i’ve heard 2007 and 2008.

This is without a doubt the best looking camaro Chevy has ever made!!!!!! I love the way it looks. If it was ready to buy I would buy it today. I have read alot of the comments on this website and some people love the car and some dont. I appreciate the time, effort and energy that you put into making this absolutely georgeous car. I would suggest you read the negative comments and focus on wether or not the comment has any real validity. Negative comments can be helpfull in allowing you to see someting from anothers point of view. I think that the new 2008 Camaro will be an enourmous success, not only for Chevy but also for the consumer. I have been looking for a sports car to buy for years and nothing has really excited me. I want a hotrod that looks awesome and one I can be proud to own. I have been seriously persuing the new Mustang cobra,….but then I saw the new Camaro and, “CHACHING”!!!! Let me congradulate you on the wonderful work you are doing on this car, I cant wait until I can go get mine. Thanks alot Randy Ramsey Cola S.C.

man this is a great looking car, but what is a camaro without T-tops I have own four camaro’s and one firebird all of them had to have T-tops. I hope Pontiac will join the band wagon and bring back her sister the firebird. When this car comes out I will have one.

Re: Open Letter to Mr. Bob Lutz

Dear Bob:

As a former owner of a 68′ SS 396 Camaro, I can say for certain you have successfully “nailed” the new Camaro design. It is beautiful with only one exception – the front grille. If the intent is to offer this grille for standard Camaro’s that’s OK. But be advised this car really needs the black flush mounted grilles with the “Hideaway Headlights” as used in the 67′ thru 69′ era RS option Camaros. This beautiful black checked grille design with matching headlight covers would fit nicely into the new grille opening and camaro rettro concept. I would buy that car with both a ZL-1 engine SS/RS option in a minute.

Please make us believers that your are finally back on track with the american consumers.

If GM can grasp the rettro concept designs then maybe they can also grasp the simple rettro management concept that went hand in hand with these designs:

Make it sharp, Make it happen, Make it affordable.
and listen.

Hears hoping you will once again align with your consumers recommendations.

“Bob make all of us proud of GM and the Chevrolet product….once again”

Any question please advise

As a current 69 camaro owner i wanna see that come into production i am eager to sell mine and buy the New 07 camaro. YOU MUST BUILD> A.S.A.P!

All I can say is: “IT’S THE HOTEST CAR I’VE EVER SEEN� Please build that car!! just as it’s shown above.

THIS CAR LOOKS LIKE ****!! , SMELLS LIKE ****!!, & TASE LIKE ****!!! BECAUSE IT IS ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t like it!!! go back to the drawing board please

What ever happened to the first concept pictures that came out? You know the ones that actually looked liked a first gen Camaro. Chevy needs to go back to this concept, not this weird modern look. If they would atleast make the front end less point and make the whole car slightly more curvy than that would be a Camaro. I think chevy lost it’s way in good looking making cars back when they came out with the ‘82 Camaro. COME ON CHEVY MAKE A MUSCLE CAR THAT LOOKS LIKE A MUSCLE CAR!

DON’T CHANGE A THING!! Any true camaro fan will absolutely LOVE this car and it’s unique retro style. My husband and I cannot wait to purchase one. (I hope it will have T-tops!)

When are they going to come out with the awsome Camero, and do you have any literature on this car? I am ready for Chevrolet to come out with a sport car to compeat with Fords Mustang.

It looks great on the Auto AHow stand but somehow the shots of it in the harsh light of day are much less convincing especially the strange leer of the front end

I love this car,although the fish gills on the rear quarter panel HAVE to go. I AM GOING TO BUY THIS CAR,,,,, WAITING:)

how much would the new camaro COST.

I LOVE THE CAMARO WHEN IS GOING TO BE READY FOR THE PUBLIC? I’M READY TO BUY.

I LOVE THE CAMARO WHEN IS GOING TO BE READY FOR THE PUBLIC? I’M READY TO BUY.

I have defended GM my whole life from the nutbag ford fanatics. But now I have to say this, the new camaro is but ugly!!! The last firebird produced was beautiful I own two and they will be my last new GM’s. If GM wants to do something right again make the camaro as close to the original design as possible or dont do it at all!! If they really want to see some sales reproduce the 58-62 corvette or the 57 chevy bel-air! I’d mortgage my house for one of those.

It’s about time GM shows Dodge and Ford who the boss is in the GT market! They need something to follow, why not the Camaro

how much does this bad ass car cost cuz i love it

how much does this bad ass car cost cuz i love it

hey john bara when u get it r u goin to let me in it even though u dont know me

Dear “THE man” You probably can’t afford sh#t!!!!

I LOVE IT!!!!!! WHEN, WHERE AND WHO CARES HOW MUCH!!!

how much does it cost

GM,quit screwin around…just build the damn thing!Change the front and back…then it’ll be all good. That Camaro would sell like crazy with the classic 350,396,427,454 or 502 C.I.D’s.

i miss the mid 80,s style ss monte carlo. if you must make this new camaro, please pick a better design. i own a 68 rs/ss and this new design would be better if it resembled the first gen more closely

este carro esta bien chido o jala q corra mejor q los biejitos

huh

Hey, poster 135 who thinks he knows leaf springs, you are wrong. The Vette uses double A arm suspension suspended by a beam type spring (leaf). It happens to be MORE advanced than a coil spring, not less. Check out this link before assuming you are right:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Corvette_leaf_springs

I own a ‘97 Camaro I purchased new & love it. Of coarse, I baby it. I’m glad to see that The Camaro will most likely be back, as it should. I was wondering, will Pontiac bring back The Firebird? I hope so!

Ford, Not.
Chrysler, Not.
CHEVY CAMARO, Yes Yes. Redy to Buy!!!!!!!!!!

BUILD IT PLEASE and Chevy might have a chance against Ford

I owned a 69′ and a 79′ Camaro.
I’ve always regretted letting go of my 69.
Love the new Camaro but gotta have it NOW!!
Can’t wait to get rid of my Lexus RX330 and
get the new Camaro. PLEASE, please HURRY!!!!
Is it rolling off the production line yet?

WOW! Won’t buy a car for a year or two; but please go to production stat.

Everybody wants to tell gm how to build this car,thats not going to happen.There,s noway their going to make it look exactly like the 69,got to be aero design.The body looks great,but what kind of horse power are they going to put in these cars. I’ll proably have to special order mines.

this car is just awesome… when can i get one?

I am currenty an owner of a 70 blown drag race Camaro. I have also ordered an 07 Mustang. Maybe by the time 09 rolls around, I’ll have a very nice and new Camaro sitting next to it’s older brother. I have always been a lover of Mustangs, but this Concept Camaro has just the right lines to make people want to move out of the way for you. If GM can keep the price down, about where the Mustang currently retails for, people of old and young will be clamoring to buy one, this oldie included. I just wish it wouldn’t take them 2 years to build it. But here’s a good thought; right now the Mustang is the IT car. By the time 2 years have flown by, the Mustangs newness will have worn off. GM is smart by waiting to release the Camaro. Let the fire die down on the Mustang only to be picked up again by the Camaro. Then FORD will have to think of something wild and big to regain the torch. It will be interesting to see the hype, ads, commercials, and talk when the Camaro gets closer to be sitting in hundreds of thousands of driveways. Keep in mind, year one baby!!!!

I like the Camaro but would LOVE to see the production of the Trans Am if it is of similar design. In addition to the asthetics, make sure that there is substantial horsepower as well. Don’t make it all show and no go! Scrap the redesign of the failed GTO and make the Trans Am instead. I currently own a 1973, 1979 and 2000 Trans Am and there’s a bay in my garage ready and waiting for a new model! Make the bird fly again and I’ll buy again . . . Thanks!

Exterior looks good, but the interior not so much. The interior should definitely not be retro – put in an easy to read gauge cluster and adjustable head restraints on the seats.

i enjoy just lookin’ at the car, but the fact that it can save me money from fuel, is the icing on the cake. I’ll buy it chevrolet…if you make it like the concept ill buy it. I really like the interior designs..the guages are a change from the humdrum ones of today…its refreshing really. The body of the car is fantastic…i fell in love with it. Don’t wait till the end of the decade…we all know Chevrolet’ll send her out the summer of 2007 lol. It’s a good move, and at a good price it will sell 100’s of thousands. Including me. I hope it’ll be available in Indigo Blue………………But im not gonna be picky lol.

I had a 1988 Trans Am for about 10 years. Never had a problem, loved it. The only thing that kept me looking at my dash was the temperature. I now owne a camaro 1999 perfect I don’t even look under the hood. I don’t have a problem with my camaro Z28 but i like the new one i am ready to by. Who much and when is it comming out?

I WILL OWN THIS CAR THE MINUTE IT ROLLS OUT. I AM TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH IT!! AMAZING ABSOLUTLEY!! I WONDER IF IT COMES IN PINK?? BRAVO GM!!!!!!!

I say we just rob Jay lenno because he already has one

I want to be on this waiting list!!! My first car was the 69 Camaro & my 2nd was the 67!!! I want this car when it rolls out. Just need to know where to send the money!!! Can’t Wait!!

please send me the pictures of this new beast

how much will the new 2008 cost tell us we need to know.

how much money will the new camaro be we need to know.

What a beautiful car! I like it. It is very nice looking, just perfect. It looks like the car that I want. Though the interior’s retro-style leaves me a bit cold. The speed-meter looks like it were from an old VolksWagen bubble -model or something. I mean, retro is cool, but it could look more cool if it were modernized somehow. I mean, I don’t like old crap from Bubble. I surely like the orange colors, leather and so, but some limit to this retroying, please. Otherwise this car is great.

i like the car because its fast,the grill, and because its a camaro.but you should of made it an automatic cause most people like fast cars and ONLY knows hohw to drive an automatic.

Now as I have been thinking it again, the front really looks pointy like V when looked from above. When looked from above, it looks like smiling. First I thought that, well that is modern and cars smile big fat smile nowadays. But is that smile appropriate for Camaro Concept? I think maybe it ruins the mean looks. And if people walk in front of the car, they see the smile in first hand…

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN THIS CAR IS COMING OUT , AND THE PRICE.. HOW CAN I FIND OUT ..

how can any of you people consider this car to be retro, the damn thing does not even come close to looking like the classic camaros of the past, i would rather buy the dodge challanger or even spend a fortune on the nissan gt-r before i consider this ****ty excuse of a car.

I thank this new camaro is os one of the greatest car ever built since the 60,s an 70,s please semd me a e-mail when they are comeing out,i will be at the chevy dealer ship the day the get there to buy one.

This is a simply fantastic looking car and if it has over 500HP, I’ll buy it.

looks like a mustang makeover lol someone please come up with something original for once maybe then i’ll buy it.

i love the new concept camaro!i’ve owned about five camaro’s and i own a 1971 numbers matching z28 right now but it is up for sale because i’m going to order a new camaro as soon as i can.i hope it comes in a convertible because i had a 1995 and it was awesome.but i haven’t seen any pictures on there been a convertible.i would order one of those up in a heart beat.can’t wait any longer i need one even my wife is looking forward to me getting one. thanks.

I love it. When I heard they were bringing back the Camaro I was thrilled. When they discontinued it I was beside myself. I’ve been a Camaro nut since I was 16. Now that I’ve seen it I’m even more excited. I always thought the 1st generation cars were the best looking by far. Do yourself a favor though, don’t ruin it in delayed production, poor fit and finish, and subpar performance. You have to be at least on par with the best Ford has with the Mustang, the GT500 is carrying 500 hp, not to mention the Dodge Challenger is supposed to be carrying 425. Like I said I love the look, only complaint is the pointed nose but hey I’m not gonna complain. You bring out that car, looking as is, with the power to compete, and I’ll be buying my fourth Camaro.

The Camaro looks like a winner!!! (interior needs refinement though). I’m excited about the Challenger as well. Finally American Auto makers are, well, GETTING IT! The Production model better be near-idential to the concept. The mustang concepts looked cool and then the production models came out cheesy (narrow body/track, small wheels in gigantic empty wheel wells, a riduculously high stance, and ugly bulky rear end) I can only hope the Camaro doesn’t suffer these atrocities. Don’t be fools Chevy, make it happen the way it should, no matter what the cost of the vehicle!

Price is supposed to be around $20,000 Camaro lovers.

luv luv luv luv luv luv luv luv luv luv luv luv luv luv luv luv luv luv luv luvl uv luv luvl uv the new camaro

Quite a sweet car. Must match it with a monster motor.

Boomers.The cream.

All I can say is “Build it and they will BUY!!!!”

Build this car and they will buy i know i will

if i wanted a redesigned cadillac i would have bought one. this is what happens when you let a asian design an american muscle car!

John C. you’re an f’n idiot! It’s people like you that cause the bull**** in our country still to this day. Go F*** YOURSELF!!!! As for the Camaro, I agree with the other 90% of people out ther that this is truely one very nice ride!

Complete crap! They missed the mark by a long shot.

What the hell is up with that grill!!!
It’s ugly and will cost way too much money.

No wonder GM is going down the toilet!

if u build this car people will thank u soooo much and buy it!!!!!

I love this camaro and can’t wait for it to be in production. I’ll be buying mine in 2009. silver with black stripes!!! Thank You.

I love this car. And it has been confirmed that GM will indeed build it. To the asian guy who’s part of the design team, congratulations. You designed an american car w/c even americans cant properly design. Shows people that even mulletheads need rice.

I think the design is fantastic for re-invigorating the Chevy nameplate, and GM in general. The Solstice/Sky/Opel GT platform, the new G6 bodies, and this are proof the GM isn’t as dumb and docile and some would make them out to be.
This a great looking car, well-suited to its roots and a future. However…
what will make or break this car is without a doubt, its pricing.
If the base camaro starts at the smae price as the base Mustang, with a minimum 200 hp 6 cylinder, GM will make money. Looking to the past however, GM tries to justify pricing the camaro 3,000 to much, giving away a significant amt of market to Ford and others because they think that the better performance and package of the camaro should make it be worth more money. But how do you grab a youthful market, like my the college kids excited to get there first car? If a Mustang is 18 grand and a camaro is 21 grand, I’d buy the mustang. As much as I love Chevy and camaros, 3 grand is a huge difference to that price market.

how much

they are building it!! yesssssss

Nice, very nice.

My gf, Stacey, wants one with a T-Top. And she’s of the mind that quad lights would complete the GTO-like look of the front grill.

Me? Taller cab.

Diggin’ it ALL the way!!!! Don’t make us wait until 2008/09… please! Get on with your bad selves, already… folks are chompin’ at the bit to buy…

I love Camaro’s. When i first got my license i had a 76 camaro and i loved it. Also loved the 69 camaro.
I currently have a 2001 and that is my baby. This car looks great!!!

Camaro fan all the way.

your concept camaro looks like two different cars. The front looks like you wanted the 69 camaro and the rear looks like the corvette. You can not please everyone. When you try to please everyone, you don’t please anyone. If you are going to use the name camaro, then make it camaro all over and you please the people that remember camaro and have the money to buy that dream car that they couln’t afford to buy in 1969. The kids will love it as well i’m sure. Thank You.

There are a lot of valid points to read here. I agree with much of what has been said here and I hope that someone at GM is reading them too. I do like Kris Horton’s concept designs and am quite disappointed with the current Camaro concept car. About all I see right is the size. I see way too many borrowed ideas in the composition of the car. Rear end looks like a vette, front end does not look like a Camaro – it looks like something out of the Cadillac/Brinks design studio and for heavens sake the doors and sides look exactly like a Mustang! How on earth could GM have missed this??? Ford is going to have a field day with this! The interior is garish and cheesy too! Please tone it down. Yes, I was around when the Camaro first came out in 1967 so I would be considered a purist, BUT I am interested in seeing the new Camaro with a slightly different look from original and again………..all you have to do is look at Kris Horton’s work to see exactly how to do it. Because when all is said and done, and everybody has had their say………remember this. The first generation Camaro is what caught the imagination of a generation when it first came out because of it’s design and that design is it’s roots. It should be obvious to anyone watching the resurgence of the muscle car designs (notably Mustang and Challenger) that the look is what initially attracts people to the car and that Ford and Dodge are paying close attention to the “root” design of the car. You stray away from that winning formula and you end up with a bland car, something that people do not look at twice. The Mustang looks terrific (and I have never been a Ford fan) and so does the Challenger. Shades of 1964 1/2 GM. When are you ever going to learn? (and to think that they had Mr Horton’s design to look at too). I’m really hoping that they nail it on the production version, but I have serious doubts about the design team and what they have put together so far.

Oh yes, I forgot one other thing. GM, make it affordable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude!!!!! That is one phat ass ride. Everything on its phat, counld of not been done any better. Thats a lot phater than the mustang’s. The 400 horsepower will get you place’s a lot faster than the new mustang’s would. (CHEVY #1 BABY)

I jus Love it!!!!!how much?

Bring your SIs

Its about damn time.Im sick and tired of seeing these pony cars around.They never should of took the camaro away cause it looked better and performed better then the 2002 mustang and we have had to suffer with these pony cars for the last 4 years.

-COMEBACK CAMARO AND SHOW UP THOSE LITTLE PONY CARS AND SHOW THAT CAMARO HAS HORSE POWER INSTEAD OF WHIMPY PONY POWER

Love it gotta have one. Every one else will too

I was so excited when I heard the look of the late 60s Camaro was coming! Oh was a disappointment today. I have a small model of my dream car- a blue ‘69- I guess it will remain a dream. You concept looks like a Baby Huey wanna be Corvette.What are you thinking?

I was going to buy a new corvette, but I think I will wait for this concept to get on the road, it looks great! I can’t wait for the SS model, what might be the differences on that model . . large spoiler, ram air hood, gound effects . . I cant wait!

I agree with the purists that the design should be more akin to the ‘69, but
I have to admit I love the car. My real passion though is for the concept Trans AM and make it look like 2nd generaton!!!!

I currently own a 2000 Camaro and I am in the waiting line to get this one too!! It is KICK ASS!!! I can’t wait to see it on the road. You guys did a damn good job. She looks mean!!!

[...] Not really fresh news, but Chevrolet has a concept Camaro making the rounds at auto shows being billed as the 2006 Camaro. Boy oh boy… yet another classic car with modern styling and hints of the original. Why is this trend so popular? Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang are also following this trend. Granted these vehicles look awesome, but come on. Get original. GM stopped manufacturing the Camaro in 2002 as it lost sales to smaller 4- and 6-cylinder cars and was deemed no longer profitable.

The Camaro won 9/12 races on the Trans am speed track in 1967 and in 1968 the camaro won 10/12 races and in 1969 camaro won 8/12 races. I think i can see why F#$%ed On Race Day (Ford) and Don’t Over Drive Gutless Engine (Dodge) fans are so afrade of the new camaro. History is repeating its self.

ok people, this car is the most sexy thing on 4 wheels, flawless design, stunning looks. im so in love my fiancee is jelous. i even dream of seeing one, GM please, i beg of you build this masterpiece, sell it in the uk its 2008, now is the time to unleash the beast. if anyone of you dislike this maro, look again, now look at your calender, this is what cars should look like in O8. its sexy, its art, its a Camaro. honesty though, isnt she spectacular, and yes i know im obsessed.

Right what i want everyone to do is make a list EG :-
like – Everything
Dislike – nothing
list all the qualitys and not so qualitys so GM can see what the public think, the world needs this ride, i understand that not everyone will like it, some will hate it some will love every aspect, i myself love everything,
They say There is no such thing as perfection. It’s something every car maker aspires to but ultimately, can never reach. It’s the impossible ideal. the mustang is not perfection. Jessica Alba is not perfection. Even waking up on Friday morning to find you’ve been given the day off for some whimsical reason, seeing a £500 – $1000 cheque addressed to you in the post, that’s not perfection. Perfection does exist shes on this page, shes mean, shes a camaro,
