Underneath the psychedelic paint and black tarp-like camo, this 2016 Camaro has excellent bones. We know it rides on the Alpha platform—the one Cadillac just seriously reworked for the ATS coupe. In the coming bare-knuckle fight for customers with Ford's fresh pony, that's going to be important for a few reasons.

The first is size. The Alpha-based Camaro will undoubtedly be smaller than the husky Zeta architecture the present Camaro inherited from Holden, who used it on the large Commodore (and our Chevrolet SS). Unless Chevrolet fills the trunk with ballast, a smaller Camaro is a lighter Camaro. I don't think we need to explain that this is the recipe for a better driver's car.

This is not to sell the Camaro Z28 short. Chevy managed to make that into a monster, but you'll remember that the Z28 went on a healthy diet to make room for those spool-valve shocks and other bits.
As the '16 Camaro starts to drop camo, it'll drop more hints as to what direction Chevy is taking it. Until then, bated breath and so forth.
