i thought gm was trying to do away with cheap and plastic looking? it seems like its going on strong with the new camaro. thats the first thing that comes to mind. cheap and plastic.

i dont know if it is all SS but i was talking about the whole car with the guy and this car has a short shifter

Dash hight and seat hight are teh two biggest problems that people complained about. Sitting low with a wide and long dashboard, combined with a heavily raked windshield made it very hard to see out of.
5th gen is much different. While there are gunslit windows, its more upright seating feels better and more civilized.

Interior is better in person. While it wont look like the CTS's interior, its also a car that has to fit a target segment of 22-35k target.
Again...please wait till you see the car in person. While some of you will never change your mind, much like my opinion with teh 4th gens, its a different car in person.

It is taller, but a few inches shorter while keeping the width. The biggest change, and one that can make the car look longer, is the larger wheel base compared to the silly small 101 inch on the 4th gen. 5th gen is over a foot longer. That means a lot less overhangs.

Again, wait till you see the car in person.

Did the guy buy this? I love that RED 4th gen, too.

Frosty 04-06-2009 01:29 PM

Yup...interior is still hideous.

and on the note of the red 4 gen thats my buddies car and he just got rearended the other night by some idiot girl who was claiming to be looking at directions and not the winshield so my buddy was just sitting at a light and well bang she twisted the rear frame where the exaust bolts up and messed up the rear quater pretty bad

really that is one major thing i do like about the 4th gens

sorry to hear about your buddies car

1986IROCZ28 04-07-2009 01:05 AM

yea it sucks hopefully the insurence dont total it hes got alot of work into it

NastyEllEssWon 04-07-2009 01:20 AM

ive personally seen the new camaro in person al. quit assuming i havent. its been at almost every major auto show for the last two years. its not exactly a secret.




the gto interior looks miles better than this. hell the g8 interior looks a lot nicer. while i understand that most cars are made out of plastic...i just think the interior looks too cheap. thats one of the things they said was the downfall of the 4th gen. this one looks downright rediculous.



it looks just about every bit as big as a charger and its a shame. no point if buying one of those. stock for stock theyre every bit as stout as the 4th gen was. :nod:


edit: wasnt one of the saving graces of this car to be the IRS which was supposed to upgrade handling considerably? im not impressed with the numbers on that either. .88 g's or something like that?



its just time to realize. the camaro is about 2 times too big

Rich2279 04-07-2009 05:30 AM

Sorry to hear about the red 4th gen. Sweet looking car. They say men are worse driver's? lol

On a smooth surface IRS offers no increase in handling. The improvement comes when the road is less than smooth – like most public roads race courses. I would not expect greatly increased “g” measurements in a test situation.

I’m more interested in how the handling is hindered by the oversized wheels & tires as well. 20s & 21s are just too big. All that weight that far from the hub, like giant flywheels.

It will be, that car is wrecked. These cars do not takes rear hits well.

Frosty 04-07-2009 10:09 AM

Ughhh that 4thgen is toast :(

1986IROCZ28 04-07-2009 02:24 PM

well ill definately keep you guys posted on whats going on

7998 04-07-2009 03:34 PM

I don't care what any of you guys say, the 2010 Camaro is SEXY!!

I love my 4th Gen but come on, It's hard to tell the difference between a 4th Gen and a Chrysler Concorde at 50 feet. And the interiors in 4th Gens is dead ass cheap.
Again I own a 98Z and love it. But that New Camaro is miles ahead as far as Materials and styling is concerned.

lets fix the problems here's a rough idea...

So in your opinion it'd be better if you could only drive it during the day?

at least consider removing the fake grille at the bottom.. the headlights are a disgusting wreck along with the blinker
