I've seen the ATS coupe in person. They both are alpha's. The new camaro should compare in the G35/37 range in size. Just wider.

Virtually no body roll, very fast and accurate. Keep sleeping on this one. I think this camaro is going to amaze from a performance standpoint.

If camaro doesn't have false paneling under the camoflauge? This is what it will look like?

TopSpeed Renders Up A Look At The 2016 Camaro

In other words virtually identical styling... I am praying those are false panels on the pre-production. It would have been nice if they modernized the 70-81 camaro. That was an awesome bodystyle that would have been very aerodynamic as a modern reiteration. 82-92 would have been better.

(Thes thoughts based on THE MUSCLE group can't get out the past. Lol.)

I don't like the new look, I think the mustang redesign turned out much better.

Something is off with the headlights, they seem too small for all the wide panels.

Should do a complete redesign and go to something classical like you suggested.

Because they are ugly, atavistic monsters; Neanderthals with enormous, overhanging brows, slack jaws, and hairy, callused hamfists that scrape the ground as they move.

On that note, does this latest iteration have an IRS like the latest Mustang?

Camaro had irs since the early 80's

I did not know that. The last one of those I drove was a mid 70's model

Lot of hate on the Camaro when it's actually a really good car. My fiancé had a 2010 SS 6-speed for four years and I loved it. Still preferred my 370z NISMO over it at the time but a solid car none the less. Easy to drive fast and handled very well given it's size/weight. My Z would barely keep up in the straights and was only slightly faster on your average auto-x course.

Last year she traded it in for a 2014 Camaro 1LE which back then was very obscure and only recently has come to light in the general population. I was surprised how much better the Camaro became with the 1LE package. So much so that I almost got my own 1LE after selling my Z earlier this year. The Camaro 1LE is faster in both a straight line and on a road course compared to the Z, much easier to drive faster, more confident inspiring, essentially it does everything better than the Z in my opinion from a performance standpoint. Yes you can argue the looks or interior or whatever. Personally interiors as long as they are decent don't mean **** to me. As for looks I still prefer the look of the Z but I love the mean look of the 14's 1LE. Given the option I'd take a 1LE over any option from the Z.

I bet this new generation will be better, or at least I hope so. If they carry over all the good things of the current generation on a smaller and lighter frame it will be very hard to compete with. Given Nissan and pretty much every other Japanese companies unwillingness to push performance cars forward I don't have high hopes for the next gen Z.

All this coming from someone who has owned a Z since he was 17 which at this point is half my life. Nissan really needs to do something special if it wants me back into a new Z. Otherwise I'll be happy with my old Z's going forward.

Hopefully they'll improve the interior. The current car's looks like it was by Mattel.

The new Mustang's interior is really well done.

Yup, the Knight Rider era Camaro/Firebird aka the C3, was the first to have independent rear suspension.

I think the C6 silhouette is somewhat reminiscent of the C3
