I like the car, and I think its funny that back in the 60's, the Mustang came out first, then Chevy put the Camaro out second in 1968 to compete with it, and the Dodge Challenger was a very late third, so late that the gas crunch hurt the sales of it, and it died fairly quickly. This time its the same thing, but Chevy was late to the party instead of Dodge. Oh well.

To bad they named it a Camaro....I don't see much of a resembalance. Not something I would buy, kind of looks like something between a Challanger and a Toyota.

That idea has been scrapped from what the reports say.

The front end is too boxy looking for me, I'd like it better if it was shaved about 1/2 foot. I like the interior, however the way it looks now would not entice me to buy one. What kind of power does it have?

I have to say, the one in Transformers looked good, but probably not the same production car. Pipes were way bigger on that one.

This is only the RS version - which would be a V6.
So, I would expect it to be a little more reserved on the exterior.

I have no doubt that the Z28, if it's called that, will have more flair.

While the interior is a little odd & quirky, I appreciate that GM took a chance & did something completely different.

I wish they would have taken a few more chances on the C6 interior to give it a little more of a unique design.

The Corvette is where I draw the line for GM cars. I would for sure buy a new Mustang before I would ever consider buying a new Camaro. Too little, too late!

Wow. I can't believe how bad the interior looks IMO. I own a Z28 now and would be very disappointed to trade "up" to that interior. The exterior looks are OK, I guess, but it kind of reminds me of a dodge charger or something.

No regrets here, having just chosen a C6 over waiting for the Camaro.
I really like the exterior, but that interior would keep me from buying one.

Love it. If I had money and room I'd buy one as a third car. Love the retro style gauges by the shifter and the overall look

Simply Ugly. Fat looking. Cheap azz looking interior, and looks like a Charger, which is also fat and ugly. But some like it and some don't. I guess there's an azz for every seat! But you won't find mine in there!
If I were to spend the kind of money that thing costs, I'd rather buy a real Camaro, from the 60's!

And Drive it of Course!! Price and availability will be the determining factor if it sells or not!
