If Pill hasn't been banned for trolling(other brands), stating lies and such, you'll be fine. I mean I hear he's been perma IP banned from camaro5/6.
Pretty sure that only works if you have a static IP address, which most do not, any more.

still not good looking :ninja:
Looks like a Hyudai Genesis coupe with a leftover Gen5 front facia tacked on. For Camaro fan's sake, let's hope Chaz is wrong on this one. Unfortunately, I don't think he is off by far, if at all.

:(

Just saw that. I chuckle at all the manufacturers when they say XX% stiffer. (Ford as well) Well a stale Twinkie is 28% stiffer than a new Twinkie but I wouldn't want to use either in the chassis of a vehicle. There needs to be a measurement of ABSOLUTE stiffness or rigidity. Percentages better than the outgoing model don't mean much if the outgoing model was a twisty bendable spaghetti noodle.

The picture of the wheels released I find them unattractive as well. The color is good but they look plain and boring, like a base model style wheel.
Agree, Pound/Force per Inch comparison then throw in the percentage.

This is another area a stout Wheelbase:Track Ratio helps. A longer WB and shorter Track will apply greater torsional force on the structure if traction is achieved.

They need to find a 106/107WB and 63/64fr, 62/63rr bad.........

The Corvette has an ultra modern rear end... if the Camaro comes out with those taillights straight from a 90's Nissan, I'd be really disappointed. And I hope the front end is drastically different as others have said, it looks like its just going to be a model refresh, not a whole new model.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; it seems like manufacturers are going with a "love it or hate it" style now aimed at smaller audiences in hopes of driving sales. It's like they ran out of ideas for all around good looking cars so they try something out of the ordinary and it doesn't appeal to many - Juke, Cube, every new Lexus... Even our 2015 Mustangs...it's a big change from past years and many traditionalists don't like it.

That just doesn't look good to me at all.

Heavy or not I'll take a Challenger over that all day.

I understand looks are subjective and there are a few vocal members on here on how much they hate the Camaro..

I think the latest renders look pretty good. I see nothing Genesis coupe about it. Put the two next to each other.

Anyway, the taillights are placeholders. Nobody knows exactly what they look like.

It actually looks better than I pictured from the camo and early renders. Kind of bland, but not terrible lines. Windows are still tiny, and weight is to be determined.

That just looks like another refresh. Not a new design. It's like the difference between the 5th and 6th gen corvettes.

I disagree. To me, the c5 is the ugliest car build since the early 60's dodges. The c6, while not one of the sexiest cars around, is light years ahead of the c5. Cmon, look at the c5's big Bertha butt. It all became clear why when I found out that the same designer responsible for the Aztec was responsible for the c5.

But, looks are subjective. I think the c7 is only marginally prettier than the c5. The pinto and mustang 2 are s fire than those.... Lol. Ok maybe that's exaggeration but not much of one....

But the camaro, if the renders are close, definitely didn't get prettier.

Yea I thought GM would have made it completely new. It just looks like the older gen, with new lights and a few fender changes.
