RE: new camaro?
These are from very reputable sources who have been right in the past about upcoming vehicles so I wouldn't doubt...
1. Camaro Concept vehicle rumored for debut at NAIAS '06
2. Probable debut is 2008, but that may even be a bit early an estimate.
Here's what's for sure:
*It's going to be a coupe, not a hatchback.
*It's going to be based on GM's upcoming "Zeta" chassis.
*The thick 'B' pillar is history, in favor of a green house simular to the last Mustang or new GTO.
*It's going to be more angular than the 4th gen was.
Here's some points to start with:
*The Chevy Nomad concept of 1999 started life as a Camaro idea.
*The Belair concept was a discarded Camaro design idea.
*The Chevrolet SS concept was a heavily disguised general look at the next Camaro's greenhouse shape.
Here's what's come in from sources who have seen the car:
*It looks wide and aggressive.
*It looks "badass".
*It looks alot like a Camaro should.
*It's rear looks alot like a widened version of the Belair Concept.
*It looks great, but it's roofline resembles the old Mustang too much
*"they're redoing the front end....AGAIN!"
Outside of it's looks:
*It will have a 5.3 that performs like the LS1.
*Subcontractors have already been picked, and are well into developing parts.
*It will have at least 2 different rear suspensions.
*It will be made alongside at least 2 other coupes.
*It will be out sometime during the 2007 model year (January 2006 to January 2007)
That's about all you're going to get anyone to say in a forum, unless they REALLY know you.

actually they have announced that the Zeta platform project will live, in fact I have even heard from different sources that GM might even use a lower cost version of Cadillacs World class sigma platform. Also used on the CTS and STS. All speculation at this point however
