Having not seen the concept in person, is the Camaro really going to be as wide as the 79.1 inches indicates? Does anyone know how wide the door swing will be when open?

I ask because my garage is already cramped with my '97 C1500 and my wife's '04 Expedition. The new Camaro is as wide as an '08 Suburban, about 2.5" wider than my truck, and just a bit wider than my wife's Expedition. Throw in the longer doors on the Camaro and I'll never be able to get out of the car when the Expedition is already in the garage (Not that being stuck in my Camaro would be a bad thing! ).

Thanks.
I've heard that it will be a bit narrower than the concepts specs. but less than an inch different. If you are not sure of how wide the concept is, look at that picture of the concept driving side by side with the '69.

Oh, and if all else fails, just get a 'vert.
