Thank you GM for sticking to your guns and not changing up the concept's looks!

I sure don't know what your comments are based on, I've looked at the whole series of shots that these photos came from, sure looks like the concept to me. Would you like to explain what you're seeing thateveryone else on several other sites has missed?

Here's a better spy shot. http://jalopnik.com/cars/2009-chevy-...red-333256.php
With that, to your point, I think they toned down the production version from the concept significantly. Look at the body lines. They're not nearly as agressive. In the older spy shots, they had some crappy wheels on there that really made it look bad. Tons a space between the tire and wheel well. In the new shot, you can see the b-pillar, so cearly they weren't able to maintain the concept body design.
To me, I think the Challenger production car is looking better than the camaro production car...so far. We'll see I guess. I just can't believe that Chevy is launching a full year after the Challenger. That just sucks.
Don't get me wrong...I've been a Camaro fan forever and I want to see the Camaro do well. I just don't think that Chevy had done as good of a job as the Challenger team.

So you look at one crappy, fuzzyshot from a cell phone in extremely poor lighting, at a bad angle, and with a color that is probably the very worst to pick out detail and you're convinced that the new Camaro is awful and significantly different than the concept. Perhaps you need to look at the many black/white "camoed" prototype pics (including the ones where two of them are parked next to two Mustangs) and four of them are going down the highway and see if they look much different than the concept. Follow up on that and then let me know what you think, 95% of the responses to thosepics have been very positive on several different forums.

Somewhat of an obnoxious looking car. Not much similarity to the original. They should have designed it in California. Kinda a big ugly thing. Needs more sleek refinement with big hints of originality in it. It will sell, though.

So buy a Mustang! Perhaps they have a California edition for you.

lol thats kinda harsh but in all honesty im tired of defending its looks....We really wont know anything until the realese of the actual production model. But the pics shown hear do look ALOT like the concept.
