R those real/normal headlights on the convertible, i liked the lights on the coupe but these look more like real production headlights.

Ha you noticed those, too? I remember when they all had "GM" embossed on the button.

the attention to detail on the interior is amazing

I e-mailed Bob Lutz back in May and petitioned to him to bring back the GM Mark of Excellence belts in the production car and other production cars, and he e-mailed me back saying he liked the idea and proceeded to carbon-copy my e-mail to Ed Welburn. I am glad it seems they are sticking with it.

Ah ha, now I see what you mean.

I love the exterior with the top down. I love the black and white interior. I hope this translates 100% into production, especially that interior. I really hope GM does not cheese out on the interior.

**TaHoE** · 01-04-2007, 04:10 PM

This car is ridiculously good looking as a drop top. I would have thought that it was a convertible first. The font used inside and out is excellent, very modern. I like the touches inside, but I really highly doubt that interior is anything close to production. I really like the sound of an AFM LS2, but Isn't the LS2 gone after 2008 with the LS3 taking its place?

Ask the Chevy salesman if you can swap her for the car.

MAN I WANT ONE that interior is the best and the color is OK not my favorite the rims are cool but i like the coupe one better

Yarddawg1987 · 01-04-2007, 04:15 PM

I love it. the stripes really make the car. they look alot better than those skinny close together mustang stripes

clive O · 01-04-2007, 04:21 PM

I love the Camaro, I really do. But it sure loses a lot of it's style with the ragtop. Interior looks very good and just retro enough.

Anyone notice how the front end looks just like Lightning McQueen from Disney's Cars?

Can't wait to go see it in person on Saturday, the 20th!!

Yup, still purely still concept .. it is 12 months after the original concept, and the interior is not an iota closer to production ...

That is my biggest dissapointment with this concept ... no wonder they will take untill 2009 to start building it ...

Y'all know I give GM credit where it's due .. but this should have been a preview of the production vehicle, and the production should have started in early 2008 not in 2009.

And people here say Ford is too slow - at least their 2005 concept will be in production mid 2008.

What did you expect? For GM to show the production car now and let its competitors know exactly what’s coming?
