huh? First gens were not tall, they simply had ground clearance. Looking at 1st gens in comparison only highlights the problems further to meOriginally posted by GETGONE View PostThe car is tall because it's based on the 1st gens which were more muscle cars than sports cars like the 3rd and 4th gens were.
There hasnt been a single 60s muscle car i have ridden in that felt like it had a tall driving position unless there was a 6" air-shock lift in the back.
this i completely agree with.Originally posted by GETGONE View PostThat's the biggest reason for decline of sales in the 4th gens is that they're too low and hard to get in and out of and most non car people thought they were too sports carish. It was pretty funny to see my dad, who is 65, try to get in and out of my 00 V6. The now nearly middle aged crowd that was around when the first gens came out, don't want a low sports car to crawl in and out of. They want something more like the original cars with all the modern conviences and power.Last edited by JoeliusZ28; June 3rd, 2008, 12:20 AM.-Joel

this is also a good point. to me, that front emblem would be one of those finishing touches that 'brings it all together'Originally posted by b.a.camaro View PostYou guys can shoot me for saying this but i feel the new Camaro doesn't resemble past gen camaro's at all, the front nose doesn't even have the Camaro symbol on it, thats one of my favorite pieces. just my opinion, maybe when i see it as a fully produced product i might change how i feel.

In the first gens, the SS, RS, Z28 symbols were all in the front center except the Z28 which was offcenter a little bit. I think that is what they are going to try to do. I don't really know where they would put that Camaro symbol. Maybe on top of the bumper, above the grille?Originally posted by b.a.camaro View PostYou guys can shoot me for saying this but i feel the new Camaro doesn't resemble past gen camaro's at all, the front nose doesn't even have the Camaro symbol on it, thats one of my favorite pieces. just my opinion, maybe when i see it as a fully produced product i might change how i feel.

All true, and I agree, but even if I could afford it I still won't buy one.Originally posted by GETGONE View PostThe car is tall because it's based on the 1st gens which were more muscle cars than sports cars like the 3rd and 4th gens were.
