Oh yeah, that rendering has been around for some time. Personally I love it. The camaro guys hate it. I think they are jealous because it looks better as a TA than as the 09 camaro
I'm gonna get killed for that one. Oh well. I'll take mine in dark blue with a giant light blue bird please.

I disagree. That body stile is Gen1 in nature. Giving it a gen2 work up just seems wrong.

It's funny, there's about 5 different photoshop artists that have done that same thing. His is one of best I've seen though and it appears he's cashing in on it. That's pretty cool! There's also a ton of artists that instantly took the first released images of the Camaro concept, chopped the top, made an RS grill and striped it like the Indy pace car, including myself.
There's been a huge discussion about bringing the TA back on gminsidenews.com. That thread has been going forever.

Yeah, I love that car. I honestly won't buy a new Camaro. It's a fine looking car... but I'm a Firebird guy 100% and just won't buy a Camaro. Now, if GM announced they were going to build Kevin's concept T/A I'd be down at the local Pontiac dealer with a deposit in hand the next day.

The front end screams 77/78 and the long doors help to make a blend between the 1st and 2nd gen. A modern update versus a retro is how I look at it. Originally Posted by TonyL

Along the way they also made the mustang handle pretty well too. I think GM would be smart to recognize this and not go down the path the third gen createdTrey
