Hmmm... Ford did the right thing with the "modern-retro" look, but now everybody is copying them. It's pathetic. Regardless, it's a good looking car.

a little additional info
Camaro coming
Dodge won’t get all the muscle car buzz with its Challenger concept at the Detroit auto show this January. Word is General Motors will show a Camaro concept on a stretched Kappa (Solstice, Sky) chassis. The car is set for production as a 2009 model, sources say.
The other GM concept for Detroit won’t be a Pontiac Firebird, but more likely will be a Buick crossover.

definately, and unfortunately.... since the Zeta platform it was to be based on was killed off back in March this year.
Edit:
heres a drawing done at some point that seems recent... also, these photos have obvioius PS elements (non-continuous front bumber/fog lights, rear quarter panels...
they also have been embargoed, and LS1tech.com was forced to remove them... remember the C6 Z photos last year

you guys are all nuts, that thing is hideous 
the first pic is half-decent, but the front is bland and the rear lights are damn ugly.

Shameless rip-off of the current Mustang. I just hope that the final product will have a better flow to the lines.

another image... looks like Catia
it looks like whoever sent the images initially to ls1tech.com covered thier tracks on that side pretty well... but the GM goons are at it again  ...
they also seem to think over there that last years C6Z photos caused people at GM to get fired... oh, ignorance is bliss

More often with prototypes two sides are differently crafted to see what looks better. It saves a lot of money and it makes comparison easier.
So that's no argument for it being fake....

quite right... i didnt make my intent clear there, rather ambiguous... but i wasnt suggesting the photos are photochops. you are right, as it is a common thing to do while at a clay model stage
