I like Camaros and I like Firebirds. I like thirdgens and I would like to see a 5thgen. I put them together and this is what happened.

 

one

 

two

 

That looks cool, but I fail to see any "Camaro" on it.

Hmm, I'm not quite sure what to think of that. It's not bad, but I'm not sure if I like it. I guess it's hard for me to picture a 5th gen Camaro anyway, cause I'm so used to the 3rd and 4th gen looks.

 

Hmmm. I like it. A little too much "italian" styling though. I can see the "camaro" in it. The SS hood, and the tail lights are reminisscent of the thirdgen Z28's

 

Very nice man. I dont care for the rear end that much though. Maybe round it out a little and design a new set of taillights? Other than that, I think it looks great. I wish I had drawing skillz

 

Looks good...........I think the taillights are almost look alikes of the thirdgen...

was never a fan of center exhuast........maybe some sidepipes or duals....

 

The taillights look more C4-Vetteish to me.

 

I was just having fun with this one.

 

Looks interesting.. looks like a mix of third gen Firebird, fourth gen Firebird, some newer Corvette, and a hint of Camaro.

I kinda like it.

 

I rekon she's a rippa mate!!:hail:

 

i think it looks alright, but IMO i have seen better concept type pictures

 

You must have the wrong job. You should be in the design field at GM. That really is one nice ride.

 

It doesn't have enough nose!!!!!. That's what make the third gens look so good (better than 4th gens). The long nose makes it a muscle car.

 

l only picked up drawing cars 2 years ago. I am still trying to improve my skills so I can draw as well as those other guy. I also have to learn how to add reflective shadows. I still have a ways to go.

 

it still looks WAY TOO MUCH LIKE THE 4th gen, the basic body on it. One of the reasons people stopped buying f-bodies was b/c of a lack of upgrade to the body. The Camaros and Firebirds need to be started over from scratch and see what comes up.

 

I really like what you came up with, but I think it would look better and more agressive with a longer nose and less of the Lambro styling. Overall though it looks really nice.

looks expensive!!

 

Here is one with nose that is bit wider and longer.

 

Sweet dude, looks great. Only problem IMO is that it's too narrow. I think F-bodies look best when they are wide and low to the ground.

 

not bad, not bad at all

what kind of car are you drawing over
(the wheels and real headlights gave it away )

 

NICE! :hail:

Looks a hell of a lot better than the crap GM is coming up with lately

 

I drew over my previous 5th gen, which was drawn over from the earlier 5th gen idea, which I started from a 4th gen to get the basic shape. I photoshoped the Lamborghinni wheels on and made a copy of the background - deleted the lights on the drawing and pasted the real lights underneath that background copy. I have a tough time drawing lights. It is a lot easier that way.

 

Here is the redrawn mold I used to make the change on the drawing on top.

 

oh great, here we go with the names...how bout...FABIRO (pronounced: FA-BEER-O)

 

I thought seriously about that until I saw what those guys go through. Actually, GM designers have a lot of good ideas, but they will never be allowed to use them. There is too much compromise when it comes to the designing a car. The design has to please the majority of the buying public, which means nothing wild or flashy, which is what I like the best. I am thinking about working for an aftermarket company though, since they have no limits to what designs they can produce. If GM thinks that cars like the Aztek and Vibe look good, then maybe I should minor in automotive design and tell GM, "What the F#%^ were you thinking."

 

you got some (fuking beer yo?) sorry that just poped in my head for some reason. Well ya got some?

 

I 2nd that. Or working with the aftermarket venders!

 

Get a job with an aftermarket company and start making some stuff for our cars.....


FX designs

They seem to be open to new ideas since they made the clip for IROC2NV.....Contact them, you never know they may be interested.....

 

Aztek

I can actually say I hate that thing beyond the shadow of a doubt. The Firebird is gone and that thing is produced. Talk about taking a chance on a vehicles design. Woh!

I still say they should have retested the Rageous in the car market now. They developed & tested it back in a time when people had never seen a car with angles like that. I think the test market would really like it now. I wish I had a pic to post. That car was incredible and i think it would be a great 5th gen. It still has similar styling cues to the 3rd and 4th overall, but its so now! Heck if the Vibe and Aztek made it the Rageous would sell their doors off. At least Chevy still has the vette, but Pontiac has nothing!

Heck if it wasn't for the need of an engineering degree, I would have loved to work with GMs design team. I just don't retain the math past the exam! And engineering is all about math.

 

This thing:

?

That car looks kinda like a Trans Am thats about to take a dump or something....

 

The hood looks like it resembles the big block hood for thirdgens

Anyone else have some better pictures, maybe something that DevianB can use in his drawings......

 

I don't like station wagons, suvs, minivans or anything in between in general. I think the Rageous is better looking than the Aztek and Vibe, even the styling is not my taste. GM should have just used the Rageous platform and style again. Apparently it was too ahead of it's time.


I will have to look into working for an aftermarket parts company. What we need is for more ground effect companies to make products for thirdgens, especially bumpers and ground effects for Trans Ams and Irocs.

 

Woohoo it's the Rageous. I wish they would have built that. The Banshee would have been nice too...

 

I like the red one a lot.
Looks very very good.
Looks like a front end off of a BMW 840/850 slapped onto a 4th gen bird. (The 850 is one of my favorite cars)

 

I was not too keen on it being a type of wagon either, but in the world of SUV lovers sometimes you have to have a hybrid to compete. I think of it as less of a wagon and more like the vibe, matrix, & focus. The sporty hatchback sedans. They are popular with those who don't like the hugh SUVs, but still want too have room to breath in the back seat and haul things in the rear. And you know the first thing to go in a family that has kids is the sports car with no room in the back. So we would have to compromise our platform a bit, but I would rather have to compromise then have nothing but sedans & SUVs! It was going to be rwd, right? Its been so long since I looked at the mag article. Heck I would take it over the new GTO anyday, at least it has the look of a sports car!

 

It was RWD, based on the 4th gen platform. The original concept was LT1 powered.

 

You like that better than this:

Personally, I think your nuts,

 

I'm not crazy about the Rageous either, but the GTO looks too much like a Grand Am or something...it screams "rental car" with nice wheels! Even the 73-4 GTOs (X-body, Nova clone) have more style than that thing. At least they got the drivetrain right, though!

 

I like the way its all swept back and smooth looking. I bet when they actually make it, it wont look anything like that pic though

 

I agree it looks too much like the sedans Pontiac currently carries. But who knows maybe Pontiac will surprise us! Though I have noticed with the current car trend, vehicles are going more angular, the smooth look is falling by the way side. So in that respect the Rageous would be perfect! And for me there is just something about that car!

 

I'm not satisfied with the way that the GTO looks either. I think I have my next sketch idea. I would have prefered a more retro look like what Ford did with the Thunderbird, or Plymouth did with the Prowler. If Chrysler could have made the PT Cruiser with 2 doors, RWD, and at least a V6, it would have been much cooler.

 

Hey Devian B, how about doing a "GTO Judge" sketch? Ram Air hood, hood tach, 18" Rally II style aluminum rims, wing, and its GOT to be Orbit Orange, like the GTO in "Two Lane Blacktop". Hehe, if Mustang guys can have a "Bullit" edition, we should have a "Two Lane Blacktop" edition!

"Its got five Hundred foot pounds of torque...whatever that is!!!"

 

That sounds like a great idea, although I am not keen on that hood tach.

 

Its a GTO thing...not really practical, but still kind of cool .

 

Hey guess where the GTO is currently being sold? Here in Australia, but like most of you I dont like the look of it either. It is selling like great guns here which is one reason GM decided to take it to the US. The front actually looks much better that the rear. The rear is very boring and plain. The engine comes from the US which is one thing in its favor. It comes only in 3 colors and they say it is well designed, but I still think it doesnt fit the image of a REAL sporty car. Hard to beat that sixtys look isnt it?

 

thats a scary thought

 

I think the drawings rock. I especially like the rear on the first one.

 

I think the firts ones front clip looks too much like a C5 with the whole license plate thing. I like it nonetheless. I like the red one too...very nice work.
