More Camaro

What kind of car design blog would we be without our own slew of Camaro pics. We didn’t want to be the only ones left out, so we headed over to Royal Oak, MI where there was a rumor that the Camaro would be out for show after the official unveiling at the GM Tech Center. Sure enough there she was with a crowd of people drooling uttering the word, finally. This is one great looking car that America should be proud to show off. There couldn’t be a better time to boost morale with the way things are right now.

On the design side, the car is clean and fairly simple. No tricky flame surfacing here. The interior also has a fresh look to it. Simple lines creating a nice flow of surfaces combined with great details push this interior to the top of all GM cars. There is also great attention paid to the start-up experience. Ambient lighting reacts to the ignition when starting the vehicle. You can check out a demo of it here.

Pricing has not been announced, but if they can keep the entry level around 20 g’s the Mustang will have a lot to worry about. As for the Challenger, this is not the same buyer so there is not much of a comparison. Fat and bloated compared to athletic and taught usually doesn’t win over. We also appreciate a new design with an innovative interior rather than a reskinned, regurgitated design and a poor interior.

As tired as we are of hearing about this new ride it is one of the few bright spots in the industry. It will be fun to see how fast and well this car takes off. Check out all of the pics in the gallery.

Definitely one of GM’s winners here. They were true to their concept. They have been making all the right decisions in the last few years and they are making cars that Americans can be proud of. It is a shame that they are so financially unstable.

Interesting to see how it does in today’s economy. I am sure a lot of people will buy it at first. I wonder how many Camaros GM intends to sell each year.
