Not long ago Bob Lutz announced that GM had stopped all engineering on the new RWD Zeta platform to focus work toward their new generation SUV's. This article shows that they are still working on it and are nearing completion.

Maybe we will indeed see a new Camaro soon. :biggrin:

i don't know if i'm more excited about the prospect of a new camaro or the fact that someone actually spelled camaro right...

Not a Camaro fan eh? Or do you just hate it that much when people spell it wrong? :biggrin:

Personally the only Camaro's I like are the 67-73's. I don't really care for the sleek wedge styled Camaro's.

I hope they do a retro style Camaro rather than a way too futuristic look. But that's my opinion and I know many many people will disagree with it.

67 - 69 are the only ones i like
the wedge-shaped ones look like a penis rocket ship

I really do hope they don't do the retro thing. I know I am in the small minority when it comes to cars but I can't stand the retro look. To me, it just seems like you ran out of design ideas and are trying to improve on a old design. Even though most of the new car designs out right now look like total shit.

I would kill Bob Lutz myself if he did.

They are, but they need cars. Fwd, Rwd, which ever way they can get them.

Look at Chryslers LX platform and what it has done for the company. They're milking it and it sees use in the Magnum, Charger, and 300.

They need to bring passion back to their cars, and i think it'll start with this zeta or which ever Rwd platform they end up going with. Give them a distinctly american style with good quality and a thumping powertrain, and market the hell out of it. Sounds like a good recipe to me.

just for god sake. If they bring back the Camaro make sure its nto jsut a shadow of its former self like the Charger is. That car needs to shed two doors and gain some cubic inches. As far as the Camaro conecpts I have seen, I am liking them.

Those were from an independent designer. GM has not released any concepts to the public.

I believe you were referring to this:

I like that design a lot. The guy that designed it applied for a design job at GM, but has not been hired yet.

Agreed. Their bonds are junk status now ,plus they have to pay nearly $2 billion to Fiat for losing the stock option case.
