I think it's a good looking concept. What's with those Canon Speedlites near the shifter?

Look like gauges to me.

In 1975, the United States National Institutes of Health convened a conference to standardize the nomenclature of malformations.

Good looking car on the outside.. with good performance.. WITH THE WORLD'S CHEAPEST CRAPPIEST INTERIOR.

Hell, GM would improve their business if they hired some of Kia's interior designers..

How could you possibly know this? Oh, right, it's GM. Of course, it must be junk. :roll:

actually, it's the front (grill and headlights)... looks like the car was born a retard

it's also too bulky looking... looks like a big plastic toy

Ahem....
And the interior is worse....

Bottom line, looks are subjective. And Toyota doesn't seem to have trouble moving FJs.

As far as the Mustang vs. F-body goes...Ford has it all over GM in terms of marketing and image. Performance wise, the LS1 Camaro / Firebird kicks the crap out of the Mustang for those years (1998 - 2002).

but, GM will beat ford to the punch on modern rwd family cars.

You're talking in terms of sales right?

I hope so since my '98 Trans Am still beats the 2006 Mustang GT, pretty sad imo.

It's "down syndrome".

And the new Camaro looks hot.

I like it, but my Dodge Charger still kicks it's ass.

I like the wheels, and the side profile of it from the doors back.

SRT8 or 5.7? either way, i think it would be a close call.

Not a big fan of the Big 3 Im sorry to say. This coming form a guy who once owned a 1970 Chevelle SS w/ a 454 4spd! Domestic quality sucks and half the time the cars arent even built in the US! plus the ones that are have most parts outsourced to foreign countries! I think hot wheels could build a better real car than these idiots over in Detroit!

Which is why I dont get why some of my fellow Americans get their diapers in a bunch when people talk about Toyota! Most of their cars, SUVs and all the trucks are built here in the UNITED STATES using the very same infrastructure that the Big 3 have deemed to expensive to operate with!

BTW, I cant WAIT until the Lexus ISF hits the streets and walks all over those annoying Camaros and Mustangs! (BMW M3...we're coming for you to pal!) And uh...Ford..yeah...glad to see your leaving cause the new Tundra? Yeah, its about to pwn the f'n CRAP outta you. If you thought that was rough, wait till the Tundra gets their Diesel!

The FJ interior looks much different than it does in the production version, and the outside looks a bit different in the production version compared to the concept version as well.

I'm sorry, but the Camaro has more personality in it's taillights than the entire current and upcoming Toyota lineup, combined.

It's certainly no bland underpowered Volvo S40. Do you have the fast 168hp model or the mind blowingly fast 218hp model? lol

Some good quotes from here.

You guys realize that the chance of ever seeing another rear wheel drive camaro from GM are extremely thin.

More than likely GM is pissed because then people will wonder where the vaporcar is in a few years when it doesn't materialize.

It looks like you'll be wrong one more time.

 

[chris7b]

I think its a great blend of modern and retro styling....too bad it won't look like that when it comes out

While I agree with you to a certain extent, Ill take reliability and build quality over looks any day of the year! Also, while brute power and styling on certain models may be the Big 3's niche, it not worth anything if the REST of the car is a total pile of crap!

Hey, if you want to let your stereotypes stop you from driving a gorgeous great car, that is your problem. I am waiting impatiently for this car.
