A short diversion to the 2009 Camaro

[LuS1fer]

Sorry if it's against the rules of the forum but I can't be having linking all these pics into a new post and it may be something that disappears as GM try to remove them from the web. Personally, I don't like it but make your own mind up.

Personally, I do like it. Nice post.

Looks a bit Mustang-y for me, but an independant rear suspension ? Gosh, what will they think of next ?

Without that bow tie badge I'd have bet cash money it was a Mustang. GM need some decent designs but I don't see any mileage in copying someone else's!

[LuS1fer]

Can't see the Mustang but equally you do struggle to find the contrived '69 Camaro styling cues. The whole design seems to be built around the oversized wheels. I like the new concept Challenger but this struck me as being a bit Vauxhall-ish.

Sadly, due to big bro I only get to see the 2nd shot, none of the others.

Based on that single view I've gotta say it doesn't look half bad at all.

Can't help thinking I maybe getting ahead of myself judging by the other comments on that forum.
Then again, I like to think I usually form my own opinion rather than be led by a consensus.
Closing caveat: I've always had a bit of a weak spot for the Camaro, late 60's models in particular.

It's not big bro, half of the links aren't working. In America what tends to happen is they get leaked or stolen, published and then GM threaten all the sites with legal action to remove them. By that time, they've usually been downloaded elsewhere but the forums have to delete them and comply with embargo dates.

Thanks for the enlightenment Wayne.
The ole company firewall can be very intrusive so it's easy to blame.
Bastids. Anybody would think I was abusing company property and facilities!!!

Can anyone post them here?

[LuS1fer]

They may be on the wane already. LS1Tech posted them originally and GM are somewhat p*ssed about it.

LuS1fer - apologies, I didn't spot your thread here before posting my own in General Gassing. It would appeat most of the links have now been deleted (boo-hoo to GM!)

BTW, is that your Camaro for sale in the back of Classis American magazine, LuS1fer? If not, it's one very similar

These pics have been doing the rounds for a while, remember seeing them on www.camarosource.ca earlier this year. Not impressed with the initial look, but with a 7 litre ZO6 motor it'll probably move a bit... Whilst GM are trying to jump on the semi retro Mustang bandwagon, they're doing a bit of a Chrysler with the Charger and F*#$ing it up....
