Which Camaro Do You Prefer - Coupe or Convertible?

redfox · 06-13-2008, 07:07 PM

Give me the Coupe not a Convertible man.

Most definitely the convertible. That triple black one is perfect.

likearock00 · 06-13-2008, 07:20 PM

I'd like to occasionally drive a convertable, but as a daily driver I'd feel safer in a coupe.

Choose life: The coupe. (It also looks better.)

Golden Oldsy · 06-13-2008, 09:21 PM

The convertible for sure. I haven't come around to the coupe design, especially where the roof meets the quarter panel. To many odd angles, which I know is supposed to look like a "jet fighter", but it just draws your eye away from the rest of the car which looks great.

I love convertibles and may end up in a Camaro convertible. But the coupe, as always, looks better.

Almost any car looks great when you chop the top off and run as a convertible. This one is just tremendous.

But sooner or later the top has to come up, and the look just isn't that great. They've done a nice styling job here even with the top up, but it doesn't compare to the coupe.

Gotta have the coupe with V8 and 6spd manual!

ClassyEldo · 06-14-2008, 03:51 PM

The Convertible rocks! A true "ragtop," much more stylish, especially in this convertible because of the bodywork's "haunches" or "shoulders" (at the area where the base of the C-pillar blends into the body). Many of the recent convertibles lack this styling cue, and they look "flat" with the top down. The pillarless "hardtop" effect of putting all four windows down in a true convertible is great, too. Good work, Chevrolet!

The Convertible, nothing like driving with the top down when the weather is nice. Love that orange/black combo. Please GM hide the AM/FM antenna it's an eye sore.

I Dont Know!!!!

Racin' Rick · 06-14-2008, 04:56 PM

The convertible...Z/28...manual...where and when can I order mine?

mbukukanyau · 06-14-2008, 05:15 PM

coupe, but I am begining to get tired of this car

chevrobill · 06-14-2008, 05:55 PM

Coupe. This car is for bruising, not cruising.

Question: Who here on GMI will be the first to own one of these marvels? Just curious.
