this is quite spiffy

yeah but i agree this one is plain ****

Wow, GM is still putting “GM” on the seat belt button. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Are you two on crack? What exactly is retro about that interior??? ****s super modern looking to me

No chance to stick another knife into GM gets away. OMG T3H SEETBLTS LOLOL!!!1 It’s still a concept, so they use parts from GM of yore to get away with sneak preview drives like this.

Looks nice. If you’d like to take the Challenger Concept for a ride, I’d like to try the Acura MDX Concept.

This car is gonna be a for sure hit!… and the interior is kick ass!… the stang is about to be tamed!!

You tools – I read that they did the “GM” seatbelts as part of the retro look. There isn’t a GM car on the road right now that has that – it’s not a part from any current car.

No GM car has ever had seatbelts like that. The GM was the button you pressed to release the belt, which is not the function it serves here. There’s obviously an orange button you press to release the buckle, which is the piece with the GM logo. I think it’s a pretty slick design, it’s too bad people jump to rip GM at every step without thinking. Certainly they’ve done plenty of wrong in the past, but their concept cars have always been the best. They just typically fail to execute, but hopefully that is changing.

for the love of god! no more retro!!

GM can’t do anything but to look back to the past than to design better products for the future.

Yeah Im sorry, Im a huge fan of the 1st generation camaro, and I think this car blows, the interior sucks, and the exterior looks nothing like the classic, gorgeous camaros, like the new challenger does with its classic

I hate hate hate GM, but I have to say I like the exterior of this one a lot. BUT, I know that by the time it hits the market it will be so watered down that it will look like a low roof Cobalt.

i like the kewl retro interior I have to admit I hate the new mustang. I guess I need to wait a while before reality hit me and then I will realize how the exterior looks like crap. Actually I hate the exterior I love the interior though. Hopefully the material aren’t crappy plastic **** like the Silverado.

nothing “kewl” about this car, it’s ugly down to the bones… I’ve seen couple generation of camaros, all have cheap plastics inside. however with the improvement in the engine, driving this speedy garbage truck is still UGLY/// Agree with comment #11 VDub, no more retro styling. If we’re going to drive outdated styling we’d go buy a used car.

There are 6 things wrong with this car that I can see so far. They’re on the front, back, and wheels. Why is Chevy putting it’s badge EVERYWHERE on this car? The old Camaros never had the Chevy badge. Where is the red, white, and blue stripes? That and I think a billeted grill would look better, or at least more than one horizontal bar. Other than that this car is looking great (even if they did rip off the 05 Mustang concept: http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/02/28/the-2009-ford-mustang-not-quite/ ). I hated GM for getting rid of the one nice car they had left so to hear it’s back is good news.

Somebody sure seems to like retro. Mustang is selling sowewhere near 20,ooo per month. that will keep a plant running by itself. If Camaro cold do the same that would be sweet.

I tried, I really tried to like it, but I still think the interior sucks. The exterior is quite cool, sort of american butch, but I can’t help thinking: Why is GM designing oldfashioned cars in 2006? I agree with #16: If you want to drive outdated styling, buy a used car…

There seems to be an overwhelmingly positive response to this car. I however, think it’s pretty ugly looking. The front end reminds me of tiny, beady little crossed eyes, and the overall design is too overdone and yes, i do recognize that it’s a concept. The interior looks pretty nasty too, with that sick orange color and YES, the overdone retro! how can you not see it being retro?? look at the speedo and tach! oh and im oh so glad they let the DETRIOT FREE PRESS take a test drive, they really went out on a limb there, as if the detroit free press would ever say anything negative regarding this car.

Wow people let your anti american bias go for like 30 seconds and appreciate a cool concept car. Im no big fan of the japanese stuff but I let you guys enjoy your cars without bashing left and right. Like this camaro or not just let the fans enjoy it without bashing them left and right and realize it will sell no matter what you say.

Hey if you don’t like it don’t buy it. Most of you have your minds set no matter what the car would look like, the 4th gen bodies were ” too radical and futuristic and nothing like 3rd gen” that was said back in the early 90’s nothing will satisfy everyone. BTW BMW 850 I take it your “beeeemer” is used since they haven’t changed much in “styling since the early eighties, If you don’t think so you blind. Hmmmmmm Think before you speak/type.

This is not about being anti american, this is rather being pro- american car industry and being frustrated as to what is ( or isn’t ) happening. And it’s true: If you don’t like it, don’t buy it, but GM really badly needs people to buy their cars…

I agree with #22 James. This car looks cool. Japanese cars suck. At least this car looks cool without the need of an aftermarket body kit. That and it doesn’t sound like leaf blower.

The car does look cool. The grill is awful and the interior is just disgusting though. And the whole ‘don’t like it, don’t buy it’ doesn’t work any more for American cars because people are overal against them. They need people to like their cars now, they can’t afford to get much bad press.

“If you don’t like it don’t buy it” couldn’t be better put. I love everything about it and obviously it interests everyone on this blog otherwise they wouldn’t have taken the time to comment on it. It’s not like these are the first pictures that came out. Everyone in here that is against it is pretty hypocritical being that you ALL had to do some sort of search to find this information. Pull your head out of your asses!!! NOBODY is going to have a car built to THEIR specific needs unless they own their own car company.

amen^ number 27

you’re right!! i DONT like it! and i WONT buy it! but just because i dont like it doesnt mean i have to refrain from posting, just because what im saying is anti american doesnt mean i have to keep my thoughts to myself, thats the point of these comments, to get objective, critical responses that are both pro AND con, not just pro. If you’re allowed to like the car, i’m allowed to dislike it, and im also allowed to voice that dislike. And #23, show me a BMW from the 80’s that resembles the Z4, the current 6 series, the current 7 series, or better yet, the 7 series from a few years ago before it got tamed down, or the current 5 series. I sure would like to see an 80’s bmw that looks like any of those cars now. SURE WOULD!

Pull our heads out of our asses?! What are you talking about!? That is the EXACT reason GM just lost so many jobs, so many factories, and so much money! You can’t think like that. You can’t think “if we’ll build it they’ll buy it” because the American public isn’t like that. We’re all on this forum because we love cars, so yeah we’re all interested in this stuff but most people are not. We’re not the majority of people here. You can go to Scion, which I dislike the cars, and get a fully customized car. It really is you, sir, who needs his head out of his ass.

That luck bastard! Damn reporter gets to have all the fun!
