What Should be the next GM car to get the 5th Gen Camaro treatment (that old but new look)?

Justin · 04-07-2009, 12:18 AM

I think it should be kept to the Camaro, and POSSIBLY a special trim of the Corvette, but that's doubtful. I'd prefer to see it be something unique than to see GM turn everything into a retro look and overdo it.

Vega......or Corvair

The easiest to 'build': put a firebird nose/tail and dash on the 2010 platform.
I would like to see a 2013 (70)Chevelle.
the GNX
all would be interesting to see

You won't see it again.

I was always fond of the Chevelle.

The Grand National.

Because it's a completely up to date concept that makes sense with everything going on around it in the car world in America (i.e. a mid-sized car with a mid-displacement turbo motor).

It would be good competition for the upcoming SHO. You could build it without a single retro touch and still remain true to concept. It would be a ringer for the new platform they are showing for Cadillac in Europe.

I voted for Pontiac GTO, but only because I missed the old & classic calillacs on the list.

CTS V for about 15k less, Hot!

a future special edition corvette! next gen small block V8, with the newest technology in its suspension set up. it should follow a less power but extremely refined handling goal.

I voted Firebird but am hoping for the Chevelle.

+1 those were the most popular Chevy next to the Camaro. I had a 70 in HS.

Edit: voted for Chevelle

As much as I like Chevelles, Goats, and Screaming Chickens, I think that it would make the most sense for GM to go with a Grand National/GNX.Buick needs a halo car and a turbo 6 would be the ecologically responsible option for a performance car.

Grand Nationals were a one year wonder and a boat.

Sorry ... I'm old. Never got the Grand Nationals.

I know they were fast, but...
