IMO, it should look more like a Camaro than a Cadillac. I should not be too concerned because I think GM will price this car too high to make it a big seller.

The more I look at it, the more I like it. Wouldn't mind if they "de-cadillaced" the front end just a bit. Still, looking better every day.

I can see how some people see Cadillac styling in the rest of the car with the sharp lines etc, but those aren't reserved for Cadillac.

The front end looks like anything but a Caddy to me. Cadillac uses a smooth/flush front end with tall sharp lamps. I don't see that at all in the new Camaro



Regarding the pricing, lets hope GM learned a valuable lesson in how they priced the SSR pickup.

Maybe it's just me...........but I don't think there's one single thing about that car that looks like a Camaro......in spite of where GM says it got it's so-called styling queues.

I'm not saying it looks bad - I'm just saying it's not retro. Nothing on it reminds me of a Camaro. I'm supposed to be mesmorized by the slots in front of the wheel wells???

Verne...I'm with you. It's a stretch to call it retro...a real big stretch...C'mon GM, get it right!

I know it's not the Camaro alot were hoping for, but at this point Bruce I hope we're not having the same conversation about GM's new Camaro year after year until GM gets cold feet about any kind of Production----How 'bout a Camarostang---

Joe,

I agree that they should be applauded for trying...though they're 2 years late already......and the car won't debut until '09.

I think there needs to be a major mix up at GM. Hire in all the retired designers...and see what they can do. Heck they're already being paid (paid retirement). Charley and I talked to one of them during Barrett Jackson week...and he'd love to have a shot at it.

I'd be happy with a Camarallenger, too!
