Something prettier?
Well, the camaro is being developed in my home country, Australia. Essentialy what you are looking at is a Holden Commodore SS (the sucsessor to the Pontiac GTO in 4 door format)with the ZETA platform underneath(what the camaro will have).
The GTO by the way, was an Australian Holden Monaro that was rebadged. In my country we have a range of hipo V8 Muscle cars in 4 and sometimes 2door format that have been evolving at a rapid rate over the past few decades.
It seems the formula is simple, take an american V8 and trans, put it in an Aussie developed chassis and suspension setup and whalla....
A muscle car that handles quite well!
Just be thankfull you guys don't pay as much as we do for them (the car you are looking at retails for around 45k!)

Looks like Chevy is taking a play from Dodge's playbook. Charger = four doors. Camaro = four doors???
If that's true, talk about a nightmare!!!
I wish Chevy would release some info on the production car. Challengers are already sold out for 08.
