I've already put in enough 2cents on this car to make spare change now. I won't ramble on about what I like or dislike. I DO LIKE IT! Overall I think they're very close to what people are wanting. My only real issue with the car is the squareness of the front end. I honestly think the car needs to have a little peak in the front. I think it makes the front look a little more dynamic and interesting. I think they grill opening is perfect. But the way the sides of the front fenders "transition" into the front fascia - just too square. And this is just my opinion and all it is but the car is very over-the-top-macho. What i mean by this is yeah THIS is a street fighter. Which on one end is good but on another end could be bad.
One of the things that makes the Mustang successful and always has is that the Mustang is popular to men AND women. I read somewhere that about 50% of the sales for the Mustang are women. And most women who buy it don't care what it runs in the quarter mile or what the lateral g measurments are (like that Scott - tie in to the site) they just want it because it's sporty, has a little wing-thingy on the back and they look good in it. So they usually buy 6 cylinders. So I guess that's another thing to think about when you look at the new Camaro - is it too aggressive? Maybe, maybe not. Just a thought on that. That's why when I did my 5th gen (somebody posted above) the thinking was to make it look tough AND sexy. It needs to have a balance of hard edges and curves. I'm not saying that mine is the solution and I nailed everything - not at all. It's just what my idea of it was. Maybe the new Camaro could maybe be just a little more curvacious yet still have a strong edgy look?
I think the overall is a pretty good mix of modern and retro. I think the Challenger is way too much of a "direct copy" of the old. It looks cool and all but I think it's not even really retro - it's just a recreation of the same exact thing. After a while of comparing the Camaro and Challenger concept, I did like the Challenger a little more but then now it's the Camaro. The Camaro just has more interesting styling, more character in my opinion. It's retro and fresh.
