Ok I'm probably the only person who's never seen it but I just found this on google and thought it was pretty different.

Re: This thing is so cool lol

i vaguely like them, i'm suprised they didn't have any aftermarket support to mass produce these, they did it for the 240SX, didn't come out looking that bad.

as far as i know it was a concept that they tried a few times obviously but it never caught on either time so it never went into production

I tried to take that magazine home with me and was told that I could'nt because it was not mine.
Anyway,just felt like sharing that as dumb as it may sound

I've never seen a thirdgen like this in person but last year at a local carshow/swapmeet I did see a fourth gen camaro made like the previous pic
I wasn't to crazy about that at all.
It just didn't look right at all.
Especially seeing that it had nomad emblems on the side pillars and suzuki taillights?!?

It doesn't look all that bad to me. I'm glad that they didn't produce it though and I wouldn't have one.
