Spied: Best closeups yet of 2016 Chevy Camaro prototype (April 7) - Page 2

GM-ACE · 04-07-2015, 12:27 PM

I'm sorry fellas, but if this is the final shape,

There is very little to distinguish it from the '15s, a new gen has to set itself apart more than this. I hope I'm wrong. The nose alone makes me think they're using a '15 nose for disguise, its so close. The door windows look like they might be 1" taller, very little difference.

I will wait for the reveal, but I'm not really liking those tail lights.

IOMike · 04-07-2015, 12:32 PM

I wouldn't say that. I have 0 interest in a 2010 to 2015, but am thinking that they finally nailed it on this one. 5th gen is decent, but it's just not quite right.

Interior of course, is completely unknown. If they put a interior that I like, that's a significant upgrade over the 5th gens, It will be the first NEW car I ever buy.

I don't see why they won't use 20s again. I'm 99% sure they will.

All I'm saying is, we don't 100% know for sure. Its just a mule.

It's not a mule, it's a prototype. They need to drive the car as they intend to build it in order to see how it drives. Changing wheel sizes will influence that. I would be surprised if they changed the size for the actual car.

Not the real taillights

The third brake light has been tacked on there it appears. The main taillights appear circular but I don't believe that is how they really are.

ilirg · 04-07-2015, 12:54 PM

Love the shape of the headlights, very aggressive looking. Considering the taillights are just 3 bulbs used as place holders for the real tail lights I'll save judgment for the real thing. Rest of the car looks awesome, even for what appears to be a v6 or 4cyl model. If they can drop 200 pounds and still keep 20" wheels then I'm all for it, lot more tire selection with 20's as opposed to 19's.

KMPrenger · 04-07-2015, 12:56 PM

Awesome! More shots....the more the merrier!

Definitely a V6 model with the dual mode exhaust...unless they are going to offer quad tips on a turbo 4 model as well that could be a possibility? Would be nice to hear from the photographer what the car sounded like.

One thing is for sure....this car needs a dovetail spoiler just like the 5th gen. I don't really want the raised spoiler either that we've seen in other shots....a dovetail it will be. If not offered from factory, that will be one of my first mods assuming there is decent aftermarket options out there.

I'm surprised that you guys are surprised with there being 20s" on this car. 20's still work on the car just fine, and look great. 19s should look great as well. I will be going with 20's for sure....but never any larger. Also, I'm willing to bet this exact rim style will end up on the car as well, but likely in a polished color instead of black.

Overall, the car looks great, but I'm really praying once the camo comes off, there will be further details and lines revealed that we still have no clue about. I want the 6th gen to be aggressive looking like the 5th....not toned down.

Shusshh.. your must love the 5th Gen to not be called a troll on here. But i do agree, i feel this car may have "Matured" enough for me to like it. Now Stick a LT4 and Carbon Brakes on it and im a Buyer.

IOMike · 04-07-2015, 01:02 PM

The shape of the taillights, as seen in the outline, is done. The circle lenses are not real. The 3rd brake light is also tacked on because they either don't want to cut out the spot yet on the rear window or the 3rd brake light will be on the spoiler.

I was really hoping for some interior shots.

Wait another year or two and you'll get your wish.

MikeT · 04-07-2015, 01:07 PM

Wow, looks great, IMO.

I think that the nostril-less hood looks much classier.

Hard to believe that they'd bother with quad exhaust for an I4, so I agree with those who think that this is a V6.

Trans damm · 04-07-2015, 01:09 PM

I wish they would do a "wide body" for the Performance Varient. Imagine that look

headlights might be spot on, it does throw you off with that wrap around it, but those tail lights and 3rd brake light.. not so much.
