Who's glad we didn't end up with this instead of Camaro! - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Yeah; I remember seeing that car in like Hotrod or GMHTP as an SS, or something, just like 'lover said.

And yes - Camaro is WAY better.

An American car looking like a Japanese car just doesnt feel right to me. And the last thing Chevy wants to come across as is a Nissan wannabe.

400z??? I hope you ment the 350z or 09' 370z...

I like the Camaro better, but I've always liked the look of four door coupes and that thing does look pretty slick.

Kinda looks like a hybrid of an eclipse, solstice, sky, with an oldsmobile aurora rear end. It gives me the impression that it should have been born a roadster. Just me though.

I kind of like it, though they need to ditch that big silver thing from the back end. Make it all body color, I say. Other than that, I would drive it. Though not over the camaro.

Actually the RX8 looks like IT..............

SS concept sedan was done for NAIAS 2003. It was meant to take some styling cues from Camaro -- but was never meant to be a replacement for the Camaro.

We clinic'd the car when looking at future sedans -- and it scored exceptionally well -- not the easiest thing to get in and out of, tho.........

2KZ28_For_Now · 07-11-2008, 12:24 AM

seems to have similar body lines to an Aston-Martin (disregarding the front-clip).

Interesting design. Can't believe I haven't seen it yet. Thanks for the post.

And oh yah, the Camaro is WAY better.

It looks almost exactly like a Maxda RX8... Not a good looking car in general and definately not American....

If you're looking into the future, look no further than The Jetsons and move far away from this design

...Please find some new pics soon, it's been awhile.. Or hire a pro photographer to take some spy shots for the site

It's been over a month now...
