well...the reason the 69 doesnt look as mean as the new one is because its not a 68

A 400+HP RWD 6-speed in today's auto industry is a miss? Really? Tough crowd.

By the looks of it the new Camaros may use a Macpherson strut suspension...that would be dissapointing.

Not digging it at all and now the interior sucks as well. All the cool features of the concept cars are gone in the production car.

I built my '69 firebird for the sole purpose to be able to choose which one I wanted when the new one came out. I'm glad I did, because I'll be keeping it.

The new one looks nice. I'd like to see one lowered with the right rims, a few custom touches, exhaust, headers, cam, etc. and it could be a winner, but so far I find it boring...so I'll wait until I see one done the way I'd want to build it and go from there.

Overall I like the look, but where GM missed is by making it too much of a niche vehicle. I just can't see too many people being able to live with a car like that as their own car on a daily basis. I just saw one at the auto show and looking at the interior, there is zero leg room for the back seats, and ontop of that the opening for the trunk is so tiny. I'm guessing you'd be able to fit a carry on piece of luggage thru the hole at best. I don't see you being able to fit say a cooler, or something like golf clubs in it at all. From that standpoint the 4th gens made for a more legit daily driven vehicle.

IMO the car almost becomes a slightly bigger/expensive Solstice/Skyy. Not sure in this economy people have that kinda of coin to finance a toy.

It's too bad IMO. It's definetly got potential.
