My guess is ELR





And why does this woman look like she despises the guy and is contemplating murder? That pic does not make me want to buy this car!

Someone on the Camaro forums said the rims have a 3rd gen Z28 influence, and I'm kinda seeing it, the more I look.


They seem to want to keep the retro-revitalized idea... The new Camaro badge for example.

You probably would have liked my old car then.

ELR has been out for quite a while; hood in that pic is much longer, mirrors are mounted where the corner windows are; headlights are totally differemt; not to mention the height.

Looks to be a CTS, maybe a CT6. It's not uncommon for cars to still be camo'd after show introductions until they go on sale.

More shots of 6th gen pieces. It's like we're building a Lego car or something with these press releases.

Indeed, the pieces they've shown are damn sexy! I don't doubt the whole package will be nice, but all these goodies are goin' come at a co$t. Can't wait to see it, and the price tag.

Sold it to a family member. I have too many toys.

I can't imagine it will cost much more than the current generation. I think it will be one of the best performing cars for under 40k.

[2016 Camaro SS]

The more and more these teasers come out, the more interested I am in getting one. I know I need to wait till at least 2017-2018 though. It will be so nice to have a car almost pre-upgraded from the factory that doesn't need too much aftermarket work. I would be shooting for a 1LE if that is a trim, but its too early to tell.

Mustang owners are going to shit their pants if this car comes with 460 hp from the factory. We'll be back to the 5.slow days.

I'm finding it hard to believe they will let the Camaro have the same hp as the Corvette.

Camaro is already said to be losing weight and should weigh ~3600lbs.
If they up the HP to 460 the there would be very little if any gap between it and the Corvette.

That is unless they bump the Corvette horsepower up as well.

Even the guys on the Camaro board are saying 42k+, and some in the 50's for fully loaded SS. What GM is promising is a 1LE+, essentially... so that's what it's going to cost, most likely.


Edit: Just a 5% increase puts a base V8 on the plus side of 35K (36.2K to be precise) and after ttl, damn near 40k. I'm not saying any of these predictions are correct... but GM does seem to be improving every aspect of the Camaro (based on current knowledge) and that usually comes with a price increase. Good thing, we won't have to wait much longer

I'd be really surprised if the base SS was that far away in price from a base Mustang GT ($32k). Options will always hike up the price fast, but I'm sure there will be plenty of rebates in a couple years.
