Camaro at SEMA 2008
Discussion
The red one is stunningly gorgeous and I'd buy it if I had the money in my hand right now.
The silver/black/tan one is not good, the tan strip interior doesan't work.
The pseudo-racer reminds me of the 80's Maisto cars but then I had yellow wheels on my Scirocco in the 90's, these fashions are so far behind me....
It does need that ducktail spoiler though.

The word "concept" is used far too liberally in that piece, for my liking.
I'm really frustrated, because I want one of these (a 'cooking' SS, with L99).
There are still no US delivery dates, other than the somewhat ambiguous 'early' 2009. My Chevy dealer doesn't know when he'll have any.
Another potentially barmy aspect of the LS7 Camaro is (concept aside), you need to buy an LS7 crate motor from GM Performance Parts (thick end of $15k) and istall it - so you also need intake, exhaust, ECM, harness etc - all on top of your $30k+ base price.
This would end-up being a $50k Camaro - very lightly used Z06 territory, price-wise.

Yes but some don't like the styling of the Z06 and also need 4 seats. Against the new CTS-V, is that really such a bad price?I'm really frustrated, because I want one of these (a 'cooking' SS, with L99).

You say the interior looks criminally cheap but I'm guessing you haven't looked in a Mustang lately. I think that's a big leap on from the Mustang in terms of deisgn and finish, ultimately that's the market the Camaro is targetting.
I've got a Mustang and it's way better than that, albeit it does have the Premium upgrades. I'm not saying the Mustang is great quality but it's not Hyundai grey plastic and tat clocks. The base Mustang is very cheap, I concede, but you generally on find those on rental cars. These are SEMA cars with presumably the better interiors. The red clocks on the red ones is a Holden trademark and pretty awful and I hope that doesn't make production.As pointed out, the 2010 Mustang has much better quality interiors, at the expense of individuality - unfortunately the outside has been ruined in the process so for the first time in history, I think the Camaro has a real chance at taking the fight to the Mustang in terms of the same size, formula, smaller V6 and bigger V8.
I'm sure that's the top of the line though as this one has heated seats and climate control. There is some speculation that there might be a heated front screen possibly.
