Maybe it's just me...but the "not the real headlights" look is starting to grow on me. Especially compared to those big ugly things on the Avenger. I'm liking the dual spotlight look, especially on the black Camaro.

^Dude, watch yourself now!

Honestly, I hate to say it, but this car looks the perfect size; not too big, not to small. Of course that assessment can only be valid when the car is viewed in person, but looking at these photo's that's my observation.

It was pretty wide. I didn't pay attention to the Avenger to be honest. But from seeing it driven, and next to it, its pretty wide. Wider than what the pics show IMO. I will say it sits pretty low. I think the hood came up to my chest and I'm about 6'

I asked to see under the hood. I got denied with a smile.

They were leaving. The trucker was supposed to get them at 2pm, but was early. The engineer said he called the fleet management person and said they could get picked up after 12p. The trucker was happy he was on time (this was about 12:30p). I personally saw the Holden and the 1st Camaro get loaded up.

I too like the globe headlights like they are. The only thing I like about the other solid headlights that are in the design, is that they look like they have the BMW halo eyes.

But I like this look better as is. Engineer said the headlights aren't going to look as I saw them for the final production. The only thing, per him, that was finalized is the sheetmetal.

The Avenger looks better next to the Camaro, maybe some of the sport-ness rubbed off from the Camaro haha

I'm glad its small. Small means it is probably relatively light. I'm also spoiled on how nimble my Cobalt is. It has a tight turning radius, can park easily in most spots, and can zip through traffic pretty well. I'd hate to lose that when I get my new Camaro, so I'm glad it won't be a huge step up in size.

When I see that pic, I am reminded of the definition of a Camaro:
A vicious animal that eats mustangs

Should have seen the interior. Either it was driven by the smaller engineer, or there wasn't much space.

i checked out the inside from the window and I don't know if i'd fit. Now the trucker who took it to the van was about my height and it seemed like he fit fine.

It just looked tight. That's all i'm saying. There was the center console that took up the entire middle area too, so it really did look like a cockpit.

They were quiet. Like I said before. I was next to the white one (which had to be the V6 if what someone else said was true about a v6, v8-M and v8-A is true) at a light and it barely made a sound. I drove past the black one with my windows open to take a pic of the black one on the ramp and it didn't make any rumble at idle.

That photo is awesome, great look at it parked next to the Avenger.
The Camaro next to the Avenger looks like Carmen Electra standing next to Ellen Degeneres.

Oh I love Carmen like I love my Camaro!

Interesting to see it next to the vehicle I would have bought if the Camaro wasn't coming out.

Funny you said that, I was just showing my friend this and reminding me how I was thinking about the Avenger before I had a clue about the new Camaro. She saw the photo and said if that was my Avenger parked next to someone else's Camaro, she would have seen a grown man crying!
