The top picture isn't all that bad. The thing looks like it should be the size of a solstace, and if GM is going to build a chevy of the Kappa plateform, then just re-do the greenhouse and it'd be ok. The bottom one is just ugly...leave those nasty grills for the high school bad asses in their V-6, I will take the blackout grill.

I remembered seeing a lot of those renderings, and most of them were ugly at worst, and meh at best. None of them really got me at all. I'm one of the rare people here that's not been much of a GM person historically, and to me those renderings were just a, "oh, that's nice, oh well" kind of thing.

However, when the first pics of the Camaro concept leaked out though, I instantly fell in love with it. Instantly. I immediately knew that it would be my next car.

It's amazing what kind of power a tight design can have

All of these designs just say one thing to me: "Trying too hard."

The concept just looks like it looks right with no effort.

I like the back end and lines of the side, but the front is way to weird.

I'm so glad the Camaro as we know it now will be the one that we all drive. That original rendering was a mistake.

That car could have been tweaked here n there and made into a good looking car. The red one is very good.
Pull out the ol number 2 and some paper and draw up your designs for the 6th gen and post em here. Just don't get offended when people start criticizing your work.
