Theye were all LHD from what I could see.

I actually don't even like the look of the convertible at all... Or 99% of the convertibles I've ever seen (any car)... so maybe that's why?

mindz.... stop drooling all over your keyboard!

chicagojoe16 · 08-25-2009, 09:59 PM

The convertible looks weird! It's the hips.

*Mindz* · 08-25-2009, 10:02 PM

Pink, you broke me out of my trance...

franknbeans · 08-25-2009, 10:13 PM

who ever though of this color combo must have been color blind.

SirBrad · 08-25-2009, 10:15 PM

The colors look horrible. I'm just not a fan of the 5th Generation convertibles. They take so much away from the look of the car in my opinion.

PYROLYSIS · 08-25-2009, 10:22 PM

Never been a fan of the verts, but they look good to me.

Camaro Lives On · 08-25-2009, 10:30 PM

Um... The color combo isn't the best, But that roofline has improved quite a bit, IMO. I can't wait to see better pictures, and pictures of them with the top down.

OUR72GTO · 08-25-2009, 10:34 PM

Does not matter what it looks like with top UP.

1320junkie · 08-25-2009, 10:35 PM

nice

Oh yes it does, have you seen the 350Z convertible? oh lord... its hideous with the top up IMO...

Redvet1 · 08-25-2009, 10:38 PM

I vote for immediate cease of production with the color combo of brownish tan top and silver body. It is hideous. Simple black will suffice.

OUR72GTO · 08-25-2009, 10:44 PM

The top should NEVER be up.

Andro · 08-25-2009, 10:53 PM

Don't like'um

Very nice! I love it! Except their choice of tan for a roof colour. ugh. Silver or Black as soft tops, nothing else.

RyanDenos89 · 08-26-2009, 12:00 AM

looks loke they coverd the car in brown trash bags

2KZ28_For_Now · 08-26-2009, 12:23 AM

Sheesh, tough crowd.

They ARE building a drop top!

Small victories must be appreciated.

"baby steps"

I remember Scott saying once "We Ain't DONE yet!!!"

Amen, Brutha!!

PS- for all you ADD XBOX guys, this means that the Z28 Ain't dead.....YET.

SHEESH.

fad1 · 08-26-2009, 12:24 AM

they look good, but i dont like the tan and silver color scheme.

Supercoolyo · 08-26-2009, 01:13 AM

They should do a hardtop convertible... It was successful for the Pontiac G6, why not the Camaro? Sure it adds weight, but every convertible adds weight, and to have the style of a hardtop and the flexibility of a convertible, I think almost anyone could give up a little weight on an already near 2-ton car.

EKG · 08-26-2009, 01:18 AM

I am not a fan of these at all. I think the car looks amazing as a Coupe...not as a convertible. Same with the Mustang. It just takes away from it, IMO
