I don't like the idea to make people dream about a car and then build another.

I recognize that the camaro gets pretty close to the concept, however ...
As someone pointed out the Concept car is thrown out there to get public reaction to it. if it goes over great then studies are done to see if it is a possibility to place the car into production. Then and only then is it decided HOW the production car will be produced at a cost that can be afforded by the target buyers. Compromises have to be made sometimes to do that. Would you want a new Camaro to cost $100,000 dollars?
90 percent of Concept/Show cars never see production and 90 percent of the ones that do are no where near what the Concept car is like. Give GM credit. They are trying to keep as close as practical to the Concept. Look at the last few GM has put into production.. unless you place them side by side it is hard to tell the differences.
