As for your co-workers, I don't know what to tell you there. I do however know that everyone so far that has seen the production next to the concept has commented just how remarkably similar the two look next to each other. |

So you've been to Seattle too!?!
Seriously though, I spent two weeks up there for a job in March last year, and in that two weeks it rained 13 days and I saw 1 suicide and 1 attempted suicide. But then on the other hand it is the only place I have found 20 something blonde women holding up homeless signs on the side of the road. Interesting place to say the least... |

I havent waded through the dozen pages yet. Forgive me.
But, I have one comment: Thanks, Scott! (and to the OP). I appreciate your pictures! (both of you)! EDIT: PS - the "Christian Slater" TV Silver SS pics WERE of a production SS. Thought so!!! Me Likey!!! (Although mine will NOT be in silver). And, yes -- the more agressive door-sill ground effects that have an obvious delta towards the rear-wheel appear to be SS-Only refinements. Right???? Either way - I am buying an SS. I like the fact that the lower, larger bumper vent more-closely reflects it's Corvette (Z06) Brethren. I may be the ONLY one getting this, WITHOUT the HID headlamps. Its GREAT for me. (one man's opinion). <thumbs-up>

Good point, although as someone else mentioned, Pontiac typically is higher priced. And forget HP... even Scott has said time and again that the Camaro will be priced comparably to the Mustang, which has a LOT less HP than a similarly-trimmed Camaro, certainly less than a similarly-trimmed G8 compared to a Camaro. Not to mention the G8 has four doors instead of two, which has to cost a bit more as well.

I think the main differences people are seeing when comparing these two come from the fact that the picture isn't taken at the the exact center of the two. The V6 on the left is angled slightly closer to the camera and less front grill is visible. Yes, the roof is taller however since the car is a little closer and the front bumper is angled so you see less grill, it is giving the V6 more of a sideview. I don't understand why the photographer couldn't move him/herself in the right position to take this mirror shot when he/she had the chance.. The larger rims and the 1-inch lower roof does make the concept look more sporty in my opinion however if the same large rims are added to the V6, then it should look very similar. The shadows on the V6 hood aren't as defined which makes the car look different as well. If we could see the hood bump more clearly, it would make the V6 look better as well.. Now we need a similar picture with the V8 SS/RT in a same mirror pose (photographed perfectly center) with the concept. That would be something amazing to compare.

Looks nice even without the rs package. I would be very happy with an ss without the rs package.
