IMO, this isn't the car that can pull off the convertible look.
But then again, I think that very few cars can.

Why're there two antennae?

That car, it makes my heart beat just a little faster!!!!

camero 11-30-2009 08:06 PM

Don't worry; there won't be a shark fin but there will be an antenna in the centre of the trunk... but at least just one! And yes there will be a key lock necessary in the trunk. And no, the rear end of the car is not changed from the coupe... the bumper and lights and sides of the fenders etc are all the same.... all the changes are on top of the trunk-lid and fenders etc. And yes I agree the coupe is a lot nicer looking... making the convertible involves cutting off the most beautiful part of the car (unlike the Vette).

I feel you... it would look better with a hard top.

Jesusfreak15 11-30-2009 09:22 PM

i am so excited for the convertible... :):):):):)

SirBrad 11-30-2009 09:26 PM

Wow, I just don't like what that looks like. Ick.

OVERPAR73 11-30-2009 10:05 PM

I can hardly wait, it looks so good!! With a few minor corrections.

DrumDawg 11-30-2009 10:21 PM

Better have a garage. When I owned my 02 Ram Air Converable T/A I had to replace my top every 3 years @ $1500+ each time. It get's old real quick. Plus, it looks bad half of the 3years in between the top swaps. Not worth it. Camaro's are great, but get the hard top unless you can keep it indoors.

Those could have been done better or more discreet. Like in the mirrors or perhaps a "bud" type antennae?

Edit: Even getting a sunroof diminishes this roof! (biased)

Looks great! I put my name down on a list for one quite awhile ago...we'll see. It sure would be a fun car to drive open topped!!!

WHERE IS THE HARDTOP VERSION........ WE WANT HARDTOP..

Mindz 12-01-2009 12:26 AM

Hardtop has been out since may. They won't be coming out with a hardtop vert.

I need top down pics and production model pics of third brake light to make my decision and order. I'm 99% sure it'll move though. Anyone with a higher than stock spoiler will be blocking the third brake light and it will be useless.

2012 Camaro Convertible? Available in 2011...

I'm putting MY MONEY on 2011 available mid 2010 ;)

Mindz 12-01-2009 02:56 AM

If that's a hint, I will be VERY VERY happy.

kenni 12-01-2009 05:51 AM

I'm not a fan of convertables so I'm a little bias here, but the rear of the vehicle just doesnt look right. I've seen the Corvette convertables and they look really good, little difference to the coupe, but thats just not a Camaro to me. I'm reminded of the 4th gen Converts which had the same problem.

I might get flammed for this, but to me, a Camaro is a coupe and a Vette is a convertable.

But, if its going to be done, hide the antiena in the windshield pillar, and work the 3rd light into the spoiler. It would look alot better.

Sorry for the spelling errors.

GMfan454 12-01-2009 12:27 PM

I miss my 96 Z28 convertible. I figure I will just wait on this car now. Might as well buy it exactly how I want it so I have no regrets.

OH, Okay, I guess that's what I am driving, What a doof. :sm0:

:evil: :upset:

smile now, cry later

priz23 12-01-2009 12:40 PM

Hopefully once they get the vert settled we'll get more info on the Z!

Coldpants 12-01-2009 12:48 PM

Why don't they just put the antennae in wind shield? Thats where it was on the '81.

Revo1 12-01-2009 02:43 PM

Argh. Had higher hopes for it, aesthetically... Doesn't look bad, just doesn't look as good as it should. :iono:

Sunroof for me, please...

chevydude26 12-01-2009 05:53 PM

well the pics aren't the best quality nor the best angles to show off the car...not to mention the roof isn't down...the mustang vert looks ugly with the top up

not to mention the car is all dirty and not even complete with the right tires...i'm very optimistic of the final results

the main difference between the concept vert and the pre-production vert is that the concept seems to look longer and shorter

wile the pre production looks slightly more stubby but i think it will look killer in person

Tops are better now than then, and the top care products are better, My Sky was 2 years old and sat outside every day summer and winter, the top looked just as good as the day I brought it home...

CamaroTransAmFAM 12-01-2009 07:10 PM

hardtop looks better hate the 3rd brake light on the trunk it should be like the vette on the spoiler but hands down it still loks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the mustank
