I personally like the current "retro" trend in the automotive industry. I guess to each his own. :thumbsup:

I think every continuing transformation of a vehicle should keep some design cues from the predecessors. That way, the heritage and personality of a car can continue and it can be recognized for what it is. It's like us... every year we look a different (mostly older at this point) but people can still identify us.

The new Camaro should look like a Camaro - just not exactly like any of the previous ones. Subtle design elements that tie it into the past are fine with me but I want a new looking Camaro, not something that looks like it fell out the '60s or 70s. Some new car designs have gone too far, like the '40s (PT Cruiser). Yuck! Too retro. :faint: That's the retro I can live without. We had cars like that once. If retro gets out of hand we'll be driving cars with big wooden spoked wheels with fake horses mounted to the front!

My thoughts exactly. It will be interesting to see where Ford goes with the Mustang next, since the styling went backwards almost 40 years, I can't even begin to guess what the next Mustang will look like.

2010 Mustang II? :rofl:

Derek: 2010 Mustang II --- GHIA.


:lol:

You Chevy guys need to worry about when the next Camaro comes out and what it will look like. I hope it looks better than what Chevy did with the SSR and the HHR. :eek: I for one like the new style of the current Mustang. :thumbsup: I'll take a 2007 Shelby GT 500. :captain:

me too...... :cool:

You know it's funny...but you only hear the Chevelle name thrown around OUTSIDE General Motors. Nobody here even gives it a thought.

I guess if I were you I wouldn't even bother watching the press clippings in January. You sound like a guy who already has his mind made up that GM is a joke and everything we try to build or design should be taken with a grain of salt and viewed with skepticism. I'll almost guarantee you will flame the living daylights out of what is coming in January. I'll bet your mind is made up already. You probably hate the thing already.

By the way....HHR is on pace for 120,000 units since June. That's 5000 more units than Chrysler sold of the PT Crusiser for ALL of last year.

If the pics that leaked of the 09 camaro are real it's a pretty cool looking car.

My mind is not made up but I do have a wait and see attitude when it comes to GM and even D-C. Have you liked any of GM designs since after 1993 (excluding the Z06)? I would not buy a HHR or a PT cruiser. If you like them..go buy it. You wont see them in my driveway. I am keeping my fingers cross that future designs are more pallatable.

Yes! I LOVE the CTS styling. :thumbsup:
