Here she is, GM released yet another picture of the Camaro in action.

NOTE: THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT PRODUCTION!!

i saw this on nastyz28... the jurys still out on it. i dunno how i feel about this car anymore

Raist103 · 01-11-2008, 10:22 PM

front end is still so ugly but i like the rest. it was better when they had the front end flat like it should be

BonzoHansen · 01-11-2008, 10:23 PM

That car looks really really really really really really really really bad in white. Awful

Some of the guys at nastyz aren't too impressed with any of these recent photos, lol.

I'm a big supporter of this car, but the pics they released suck. And I really can't take the GM sycophants anymore. CamaroZ28 as a whole area filled with them. Ugh. I swear some of those guys would eat the corn out of the Generals stool.

Exactly. GM is screwing up large with these pics - turning off the fence-sitters. I'm seeing that wherever I look.

I still reserve judgement for when I see a real one. I have hope, given the malibu, cts, ctsV and G8.

agreed. they keep tinkering with it...

gives me the feeling they're going to screw it up

Blacdout96 · 01-11-2008, 10:29 PM

its got dual headlights....idk I kinda like that, but is it me or does the car look....bigger, maybe the picture has been scrunched together, but it looks like the size ofa 300C and charger.... and yes, please put it in somethin else other then white, hugger orange would be nice

BigAls87Z28 · 01-11-2008, 10:31 PM

Not everyone at CZ28 is that bad. There were a lot of knee jerk reactions when a lot of the spy shots came out. CZ28 is probably the home base for all 5th gen fans.

The guys on Nasty are 400 years old, and probably wouldnt buy one if they were 50 bucks. I find as they get older, they are harder to please. But like everything else, there will be some that go to it.

Reading is Key my friend...

NOTE: THE HEADLIGHS ARE NOT PRODUCTION, THEY ARE JUST THERE FOR ILLUMINATION. THEY ARE NOT WHAT WILL MAKE PRODUCTION, NOT EVEN CLOSE. THIS IS COMMON WITH ALL PREPRODUCTION CARS. THEY USE PARTS BIN OR PARTS STORE PARTS FOR LITTLE THINGS...

ar0ck · 01-11-2008, 10:36 PM

Need to see it person

I know they aren't all bad, didn't say that. But you aren't kidding, it is homebase for the teat sucklers. Eh, regrading NastyZ, I see the same basic comments here and other places too, so whatever.

chrisfrom nj · 01-11-2008, 10:46 PM

i dont like it looks like a charger and a mustang molded into one

BonzoHansen · 01-11-2008, 10:49 PM

I will say the Camaro has better body lines.

DaSkinnyGuy · 01-11-2008, 10:59 PM

I have a hard time saying I like the camaro, I actually feel i would drive the challenger before the camaro. But I do need to see them both in person before I can give a real answer

LS1Hawk · 01-12-2008, 08:16 AM

I for one am not as excited about this car as I was when the concept was released. But, I'll still hold my opinion for when it is officially released (whenever that will be).

misterjuice · 01-12-2008, 09:09 AM

i hope the little ram air scoop at the front of the hood becomes operational, or get rid of it altogether

zuuhlsT/A · 01-12-2008, 09:46 AM

Not a fan of the Camaro yet. I would have to see it in person to really give a honest opinion. Man, i hope they don't do this to the T/A. That would just break my heart.

V · 01-12-2008, 12:02 PM

like i said before... ill be driving mine in Feruary 2010.. ill learn to love it, lol.

Paul, your level of dedication is rather admirable.

I have my sights on a 2012 model, lol.

V · 01-12-2008, 01:12 PM

lol, well i bought my '01 SS completely sight unseen, never test drove a 4th gen, nor had i ever been IN a 4th gen at that time.... believe it or not. i had no before hand knowledge of interior etc. i just knew they were ending production, that the SS was badass and "rarer" so i bought it. haha. Basically i'm doing the same with the 5th gen now... yeah it might have minor issues but what fun would it be then lol. Im going to be working out buying the car financing etc all over the phone and through emails, since i will be deployed when the camaro becomes available. I have found one dealer now that will work with me and even ship the car to NJ so itll be stored in my garage until my return from Iraq.

graduation present to myself

JL8Jeff · 01-12-2008, 02:21 PM

Nobody liked the 3rd gen when it came out and nobody liked the 4th gen either. But people learned to like them. The new one will have the same reaction. But who cares what it really looks like. It's a rwd V8 2 door sports car. That's what the Camaro has always been. Since I don't buy anything new, I'll have to wait to find a deal on a used one.

Well that will be one nice surprise to yourself when you get home haha.

The fender and nose seem bigger/fatter than I recall the concept as having. Where they mold together near the ground just seems bulkier.

Sheesh, my adjectives are all over the place, but the whole car just seems bulkier like the 300C comparison above. The car should look sleek and fleet of foot, not bulky and luxurious like a Cadillac / Chrysler.
