From what I've read.. These are just renders, possibly concepts. According to a couple articles Ive read there are a couple of things:

1- The name is still in the air. Legally Chevy isn't even suppose to use the name Camaro or Firebird/TA names due to stipulations set when the left the Quebec plant. There are rumors that they MAY use the Chevelle name, but most people seem to think the Camaro name will be used somehow.

2- The release of the car is slated for 2007 possibly.

3- Styling is still up in the air. Chevy apparently wants a design that they can sell for 10 years+ and still keep people wanting it. Apparently a "Retro" look isn't really in the plan because they say it doesn't keep sales up like a fresh new look does. (Wonder how the Mustang will do.)

4- The V8 is suppose to be a retuned 6.0L from the Z06. Probably pushing between 320-350 HP.

This is just hear/say and none of it should not be taken too seriously. I'm curious to see what happens. It's weird not having the Mustang vs. Camaro battles any more.

I'm wanting a V8 Pony car, still not sure what yet. I like both cars, but I'm really leaning towards a Mustang right now.
