Camaro inching closer to production
Wednesday, February 01, 2006 9:24 AM
General Motors' product czar Robert Lutz doesn't want car clinics to dilute the Chevrolet Camaro concept's styling if the vehicle gets the OK for production.

"There will be no clinics," he told employees at GM's tech center in Warren, Mich., a few days before the concept car's Jan. 10 unveiling at the Detroit auto show. One source said designers gave a collective sign of relief, since car clinics often have been blamed for watering down the styling of GM's vehicles as they morphed from concepts to production vehicles.

Also...

I'll keep you all updated.

It's still not too retro, they could have done better but GM has done worse (current monte carlo).

Hopefuly it will sell and get GM back in the game, if not I smell chapter 11.

I don't think the new Camaro will help GM that much...IMO. I am a big Camaro fan, but I would take and rebuild a 67-69, buy a Mustang, or Challenger before I would buy the new Camaro.

People in our mid life crisis as you put it can afford the insurance and car payments of a $30K + car and still have money to out super unleaded gas in the tank and take the wife and kids out for the day. I do agree though, old people should not be driving cool cars, about 2 months or so ago, I saw a 60ish woman driving a suped up 1968 GTO.

You speak as if you're in mid-life crisis. Um, you are not there yet.
But very true though.

I didn't get a great look at it b/c it was going the opposite direction. I think it was just a regular T/A tho, not a WS6.
