I wish an Italian designer would get hold of the Camaro and put a Ferrari nose on it! There are lots of good details in the show cars and I think the original could be improved a bit. But, as Doc said, GM did a great job and we're all lucky for it.
I also agree fully - there are some cars that appear to be improvements of the original production car but for the most part they are just tuner / cosmetic alterations that fit the tastes of the designers. No offense to the hard work that went into some of these cars - but some are downright aweful looking.

It is so cool to see the spirit of the muscle cars come to life again - if these cars prove to offer nothing more, they show that GM has brought the muscle car called the Camaro back to life !!
