Default Design detractors: Chevy Camaro will get a B-pillar

Filed under: Concept Cars, Coupes, Chevrolet, GM


While the concept car and the original Camaro were both hardtop coupes, the production version of the 2010 Camaro will gain a B-pillar. It may seem like a betrayal to some, and Rick Wagoner did pledge to make the production car virtually identical to the concept, but in the end, it's no big deal. Actually, a B-pillar is a plus. The chassis will gain rigidity with the pillar there, and it'll be easy enough to disguise. Paint it black, it'll blend right in. Class rival Challenger has met the same fate - there will be no pillarless ponycar revival.

I figured that much, it would be too much $$ in engineering and hurt the weight to not have one.

Hopefully they black it out or something though, and don't make it look like the ones on the current mustangs.

B-Pillar is my biggest complaint with the Mustangs... and it's a Mustang.

Yea blacking it out, or hiding it behind a pane of tinted glass on top of painting it black.
