I think a roll bar or at least a style bar would help with the looks. Just like Mustangs, without a style bar, it jsut seems a bit plain and empty.

The car is better without a roll bar. The reason the Mustang has it is due to structural integrity. Remove the B and C pillars on a Mustang and the car would fold in like a taco without the bar in a major accident.

unfortunately, that is far too subjective to actually bet on.

American convertibles suffer from cowl shake (Google it), big time. My GF's 2002 Camaro did. On a rough road it was a Flexy Flier :p
The only convertible GM produces that has a ridged chassis is the Corvette. Do note how wide & high it's door sills are ;)

? The Mustangs dont have 1 but with 1 I think it looks better.

Ignore the fact that the first has a ugly body kit but the profile and head on views always look better with a style/light/roll bar

Without a roof or style bar, theres nothing to break up the boring line from the windshield all the way to the trunk and the car looks boring and a little without substance without one.

Roll bars are so fugly on Vert's.

Also I never really like the look of camero's anyway, but that is pretty ugly. The nose looks a lot like the 2009 Mustang (which is based of the old shark nose in the 60's.)

Those dash guages look like something out of X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter.

hey, awesome, looks like they are keeping those four rectangular gauges just in front of the gear lever.

I really liked those about the first concept.

I think the retro look should be retired (if done right, then keep). The car looks nice if it was introduced today, I'd get rid of the front end, pure fugliness IMO.

I cannot wait to see what Pontiac does with with the stying :D
Always love Pontiac's visuals over Chevrolet's, and a Trans Am with Ram air version I bet will kill the Camero stylings.
