I love it. The style is bold, dynamic, and it isn't a cookie cutter retro wanna-be. It has enough retro shape to catch the essence of Camaro (especially since it has been out since 2002 and there is no immediate trail to jump on from the 4th gen). The hard edges are refreshing and strong. That is modern style at its best. Look at the Acura, Caddi, and others that are making bold harsh strong body lines.
It is also futuristic in the proportions and the way it takes advantage of cab-forward design technology.
The best part of it is the amount of modern hard style gives it room to mature over a body line run. No big deal if the grille or tail lamps aren't the best right now. Look at how they evolved over the 4th gen. This car is wicked cool.
If you think about it, Camaro had to play catch up in the 60s since Ford had a couple of years to get the whole thing going. When Camaro showed up it was a refined clean and better version of what mustang had created. That is what you are seeing here. By the time this hits you won't be able to give away a retro 05 style stang.
