I thought it had a lot of promising ideas for the next Camaro (2005). And the car's design on the first page of the article looks pretty cool with a retro theme. The other concept drawings look kind of ***** to me, though; Like sport coupes (is it just me, or does the red design on the 3rd page look like an Integra?). At very least, the article does verify that another Camaro is in the works, no matter how preliminary.

For us Firebird guys, there seems to be no replacement except for some speculation of a GTO resurgence, shared with the Monte Carlo platform.

The article also showcases the 04' Mustang which (dare I say) does look kind of cool, but Motor Trend says it will continue to stray from it's muscle car roots and become more of a sport coupe (ugh). It does mention the possibility of an F1-style paddle-shift i.e. Ferrari which would be cool. Not enough to sway me, though.

Any thoughts?

 

Where did you find the news, I can't find it anywhere...

You mean these? The pics are from the new issue of Motor Trend magazine. Props to artist Mark Stehrenberger.

Yep, those are the pics. The first and last are obviously the retro-themed version. The middle two are the ones that reminded me of the Integra. By the way, as an artist myself, these are fantastic peices of work. I've always envied the guys that get to draw automotive concepts.

I liked this one that was in Camaro Performer a little while ago.

 

I think the one from Chevy Performance looks the best I mean it brings ya back to the 1st gen grill look...The Back of it somewhat looks like an Mitsubishi 3000 but the back of those cars are awesome.....it looks mean

better have like 400HP under the hood

 

triangular exhaust pipes dont work for me......

 

Yes, definitely. They need to build it, soon, and just like in the pic from Camaro Performer.
IMO, the fourth gen is a great looking car, but they should have gone more retro with it. Then maybe the retro looking Mustang wouldn't be outselling the F-body by like two or three to one.
