What will final version look like?
Anyone know Chevy's history on building production cars from concept cars? Do they usually stick pretty close to the concept or does the production cars usually loook nothin like the concept? I love how this car looks but Im afraid the real one is gonna look nothing like it. :mad:
|
I dont care what it looks like, I'll end up buying one anyway! lol But I really love the concept design...The only thing is the mirrors, they may be a little too small. But besides that I absolutely love the car and can't wait to own one! :)

GMs cars usually come out like shit with the bumper flowing into sheetmetal aspect. This is one part of the new camaro design that is very european/japanese in its design, so i'll be interested to see howGM does it in the production version. I dont have high hopes. Thank god GM knows how to make a damn good engine.

From what I gather, for the exterior, look for a higher roofline, and larger side mirrors, as well as smaller wheels.
Interior-wise, not radically different from the concept. :) |

If they do have to raise the roofline I hope it's not by so much as to lose the current sleek shape of the car overall. |

Oh, I really hope they don't screw it up when it comes to the production version. That low roofline is perfect as it is. I guess we'll see smaller wheels, but I'd still like 19" as standard.....I hate wheels that don't fill the arches.
Be brave GM......don't change a thing.:D |
I wonder if the RS/Z28 will get the Hideaway head lights that they had in 69
|
i heard it supposed to look just like the concept. little bit more modernized interior but exterior is suppoesd to be the same except the mirrors and maybe the roof line, but after weeing some cars that have been coming out i wouldnt be surprised if they kept the low roof line

What will change in production version?
We all know that there are a few mods GM will have to make from the concept to the actual production model. I have been told that the door handles as well as the trunk will be changed. I would assume the side mirrors, dash, wheels, and loc of gas cap would also be changed. Then, I read that the roofline was to be raised by 14mm. Why? I don't know...
1. I can understand the smaller wheels. It would cost a fortune to produce the rims, tires, and not to mention the high cost to us for replacing those tires. 2. The door handles I wish would stay the same. I could understand the ice situation, but it doesn't ice down here!:D I'd like to see side handles like on the vette. That would be a nice addition. 3. As far as the side mirrors go, I could see those being changed...too narrow. 4. The gas cap location: I like it where it is. For all those people who are going to be careless about filling up, well...use caution! Use a paper towel when filling up to catch any dripping gas. I think the location of the gas cap looks cool as all hell. 5. I don't know why they must change the height of the roofline. 14mm is not that much, but has the potential for making a big differrence. 6. I like the dash, but think the color insert needs to match the car. I like how the gauges are set up, but don't know if I like their display. I also think that radio needs some work. 7. The trunk opening seems a bit small. For it to be useful to the other half of the folks buying this car, it needs to have good access to the trunk and enough space to carry plenty of items. I love this car. It will be mine. I just hope they don't change it too much that it becomes something else. What do you all think? |

I have also read that the rear trac width will be reduced by a few inches. I agree about the rims. I really like those rims, but they will be changed. As for the door handles, I think that vette style door handles would be awesome! As for the interior, I am not sure if the comment about staying as true tothe concept as possible applied othe interior; I hope not. I am not a fan of the interior. I would much rather see a more modern look that all of those retro ques. I would also like to see color matching inserts used on the interior like in the GTO.... i really liked that. Lastly, I really really hope there is a HUD and dual climate control. That is all from me. |
Dont forget that the production model looks better according to the radio station said it did. i really dont worry ur still going to buy it over the mustang.lol
