I like the Camaro, but am waiting for the new Trans Am. I'm a T/A man myself. Can't wait to see these cars in production.

We all knew you were a T and A man just which sex?

You are right though, the T/A should be awesome. It seems they have always put more power in the T/A. One of my favorites is the T/A 6.6. Torque baby!

I think we need to keep in mind that the pictures are all just concepts.. When this thing finally hits show room floors, we'll see what it actually looks like. Concepts always look great, then it's a matter of structural integrity/safety, cost of manufacturing, final price, among other things that actually dictates what that concept gets molded into..

The last production car that looked decently close to it's concept was the Mustang, and it still had changes to the tail lights, front grille wasn't as radical, and the interior was toned down a bit, but not much..

Yea, I was at the Detroit auto show and I was dissapointed with what they Mustang came out like. The prototype was awesome.

The manufacturer's are coming out with more vehicles that are closer to the concepts for a lot of cars now. The Sky and the Solistice were very close. I hope the Camaro is close. I'm sure the interior will be very different.

I hear you Jeff

I fell in love with the RSI Beetle. Its over in europe but never to see America legally

Plus (like the soon to be released Skyrine) the RSI would be like 80K over here.

The camaro will never have a price tag like that but, all those nice interior bells and whistles will most likely go the way of the Do-Do before its gets the green light for sale.
