My first time out to the Denver Auto Show was a good experience. There was not a lot of concept vehicles. Only the domestics had concepts on display. There was quite a bit of buzz around the Camaro concept. It was a racy red color with smoked glass all around (which I suspect was hiding the interior since it probably hasn’t been finalized) and some awesome wheels and tires. The attractive General Motors info-babe, in the tight black pants and short waisted jacket, who was giving us the scoop on this great looking car, stated that it will be released in the 2nd quarter of 2008 as a 2009 model. That is just around the corner folks! Let me tell ya that men where weeping, women were fainting, and young boys were drooling over this car. American design
Frontal view:
Notice the ’69 influence in the egg crate grille. But that is where the old school design cues stop. The headlight fixtures are definitely new school. There is a crystal white LED glow surrounding the headlamp area. LED technology is also apparent with the amber section enveloping the same area. The menacing grimace on the front facia and grille remind you that you better not mess with this Camaro unless you expect to get yer tail whipped. The bugling hood hints that there is a large, rumbling, muscular presence hidden underneath to back up that grimace. I have seen plenty of pictures showing this car in a silver metallic that did not do it justice. The red really sets off the the details in this awesome car.
Rear view:
The concept shows with 18″ wheels in front and 20″ in rear. I don’t know how much of that design will actually make it into the final production release. From the rear view you can see that the bulging hind quarters perfectly envelop the large rear wheels. The picture below reveals the two exhaust ports handsomely outlined with chrome accents and inserted into a flat black rear piece to highlight it. 
The tail lamps are definitely Chevy. The dual light configuration brings back memories of the ’69, but with a semi-circle design that looks sorta like the Corvette, but not really. This gives it a distinctive appearance all of its own.
There are some other details that set this car off. Notice the vents in front of the rear wheels. I am not sure if these are actually functional rear brake vents or just for show.
The factory wheels are very nice indeed. 
Keep up the good blogging! Much appreciated..
