Wouldn't it be cool if........

the people at Chevrolet would make the 2010 model till 2012 and then in 2013 make a replica of the 70-73 models for a period of 2 or 3 years ??????

Don't like the 70-73 style ? I have been looking at getting a 70-72 camaro. They do have some neat characteristics

Way to encourage someone's idea there Grandeos.

Now your feel dumber? I thought Camaro stood for comrade, not for "total douche"

To 1DERZ SS, I think it might be cool to see the same style car for a few years, then do another retro to the Gen 2 Camaro.

As for Grandeos, I recall a post about his "authority" how splash guards don't belong on a muscle car. Yet, he bought an automatic So in other words, don't take him seriously.

I love the 70 to 73 style. I wouldn't mind it a bit.

Do you mean that in saying, keep the same basic body style until 2012, and then redesign?

If that is how you meant it, probably not. Usually cars have the same style for five years. year 3 is usually reserved for a freshening on the front facisa, and rear end, but nothing extreme. They do that so that if you buy a new car, and finance for 5 years, it's hard for the layperson to discern the '10 from the '14.

myself, I would like to see a factory option for hideaway headlights.

Sorry that some posters here lack proper ettique. Cool suggestion.

Hideaway headlights would be an awesome idea.
