That's what I'm talking about, I did order mine with stripes from GM I hope they look good or I'll have 2 take them off and paint my own. It just seems like they would get some photos with the stripes out unless they are still working on how the stripes will look like.

That's actually just the lens the photographer used... it makes things that are closer look wider. There's a front view photo where the grille looks really wide and ominous too. It's done for the dramatic affect.

Now.... that brings us to the issue of people comparing the spy photos to the "beauty" shots of the concept. Most of the people taking spy shots were using small consumer cameras with regular zoom lenses and not a "wide angle" lens like this. OF COURSE the concept is going to look more dramatic and the spy shots are going to look a lot flatter and duller. It's the lenses!

I've never had an issue with the styling. I think they get the concept "spot on" with the V-6 camaro. I don't feel the love for the SS nose and never will. The sunroof opening outside the body was another "nails on a chalkboard" moment for me a few weeks ago when we first saw it. I took a lot of heat for not liking these parts of the car.

Now, if they get around to telling us they're going to offer blue on the SS and/or a HUD in a reasonable amount of time, then I'll be the first in line to get one.

Gosh, I really wish they would do shots of CGM. . . The red looks bad ass. . . Might change it.

Sunroof really doesn't look that bad to me. But still not willing to give up the reverse mohawk roof.

I don't care how functional you think it may be; the car looks so much better without it.

You're eyes are drawn to it because it's on your mind. If the sunroof hadn't been the topic of discussion, it would't be as obvious.

Though realistically, I don't immediately look at the sunroof. The car looks just as good either way, useless divit, or sunroof...

That would have been the best option imo.

Great pics -- thanks for sharing. Love the interior shots. Glad I didn't get the moonroof option -- not too crazy about how it opens. But very little choice for Chevy considering the sloping of the roof.

Red looks great but the sunroof looks a bit weak, it looks like it will fly off if you're hitting 120.

Love the pics but this confirms for me I am NOT buying the sunroof!! I think it detracts from the looks of the car. It looks like an afterthought! Sorry.

Well at least thats money in my pocket. I have a sunroof on my magnum, it looks really good when open but I hardly ever use it!
