excell Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Gay. It's only an artists concept anyway. I've seen the GM concept pictures. Looks MUCH different from that. Still ugly as sin though. graemlins/thumbsdown.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 That's an old article, w/ some artists idea of what it should be like from a while ago. No one has seen anything remotely official from GM. Just what people think it "should" or "will" look like. Sadly, I'm doubting the 07 date.

Ford showed em up when they created the 2005 Stang retro look. Now chevy and dodge are trying to get into this race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ever does, it will be very far down the road from now and will be nothing that any previous f-body owner would want. i.e. v6 fwd POS. Your first point is an excellent point. People are running around acting like the 07 Camaro is some kind of prediction from Nostradamus and there has been NOTHING official about it afaik.

Maro Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Don't hold your breath waiting for it... GM just put the Zeta platform on an indefinate hold. Probably to concentrate on building bigger SUV's and Hummers! The Zeta was going to be the RWD base platform for several new cars (including the revived Camaro).

CobraKevin Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 I'm just curious (not angry or anything) as to what all the people that puke everytime they see retro styling would prefer a new mustang or new camaro or any other new vehicle should look like?

A good version of retro is something that looks modern with styling cues from the old car. Bad retro is when they try to make it look like a modern version of the old car. It just doesn't work. Those are just generalizations too, I'm sure they could make either one work or not work, but the retro cars that have come out recently look horrible. I'm also going to stand by the fact that the new mustang will not outsell the old average if they sell this body style for any more than three years. After that they better go to an iteration of the 00-04, or maybe even the 94-99's. Sort of swaping back and forth from boxy to round to boxy to round over the generations. That's a hefty bill considering how many they are going to sell this year. Sales will slump in its second year and in its third year will be abysmal. They might be able to scrape by a fourth year, but I don't think it's wise. Ford better have the next mustang on the drawing board already. Retro cars are a fad and people buy them in droves at first because they are 'different'. Then when there are 200k other cars like yours sold in one year, and you've lived with the car for a year, it becomes not so different. Write this down and put it in a safe place, I bet I'm not too far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 yeah the retro stuff needs to go... i don't like the mustangs OR the f-bodys, but they seriously looked better in their last production year to both (the 03 mustangs and the last gen of the F-bodys) as far as i'm concerned in respects to these newer retro looking things. they need more imagination for designing like things used to be:/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morabu Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 i think this concept pic is BADASS, i don't care who made it! the only thing i disagree with is the mirrors, they just don't fit the rest of the car IMHO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
