I saw the one they had at the LA Auto show in person and really liked it. I'm definitely considering getting one. It would not replace my love of the '67s however.

But what if the Camaro was over 500hp ?

That won't change the styling issues. The sad truth is, GM seems to be confused about what the public wants, while Ford &amp; DC are getting a handle on things.

In the end, it's just a matter of personal taste. I like the new Mustang; I like the new Challenger. I don't like the new Camaro.

If it performs as well as the '02 Camaro SS, I would definitely consider it.

I know that tastes are personal, but I keep reading criticism of the styling and that people wish it was more like a 69 Camaro. It seems that too retro puts GM in a corner to what the next model will look like. (70 Camaro?)

The new Vette ZO6 doesn't look like any previous Corvette but outperforms them all and doesn't seem to lack for buyers.

Where are they going to go with the styling of the Challenger ? they can't do anything to it...make a retro Cordoba ? Camaro has some years in it...retro is fine up to a point.

[/ QUOTE ] With all do respects Bobby that car looks terrible to me. Not sure if it is a Vette or does it want to be a Caddy? I am just an old fart that doesn't appreciate Pro Touring or Retro. That is why my kids pick on me. I am outdated! So....I guess Chevy can keep that camaro in my opinion. Hopefully for Chevy it will do better than the GTO did. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif I agree with Cumby.

I am not sure I like the looks of it either..........but when they changed the appearance of the Camaro in 1998 I said, I'll never own one of those. They got Toyota headlights and a great big mouth ! !

Now look what I own............ https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

I really do not know what the heck GM is doing I hate the new Vette ZO6
And what I have seen on the new Camaro it not much better
The GTO was not a big seller And when Chrysler came out with a four door
Charger What was the thinking there The Chargers front end looks mean and than
It fall’s off The new Challenger if they keep it this way is the first new muscle car
That has got my eye Now lets see if Chrysler messes it up
My whole family had Chevys Till the 2000 model year was bad Wife had a 2000 Chevy Lumina , hit 34,000 miles and the trans go’s out the seat broke and the radio went out all in one day Took it to the Dealership were we bought it and was told the warranty went
Out last week. We also had two 2000 Pontiac Grand Am’s V6 That became fix and repair every week Gm quality is not as good as it use to be Ended up trading the Lumina in on a jeep Grand Cherokee had good luck with it Now I have four Grand Cherokee’s
In my family Boy I do not miss working every weekend on the Grand Am’s
The point is For some reason Gm thinks they still king When there was talk about the GTO coming out I was real excited I test drove one and for a daily driver it did not
Meet my needs so I ended up with a Grand Cherokee for my daily driver
If that Challenger come out as we see it now I just might get one but will keep the Jeep as a daily driver

Charley...do you know something I know...
I like the new Camaro in pictures, but it doesn't look as nice in person...a nice big motor +500hp very much helps the cause for me...I would have loved to have boughten a new factory 427 Camaro back in the day, but couldn't due to obvious reasons, so now is my chance...

I took the 05 stang GT to the track a few weeks back. My buddy has one of those new Grand Cherokee SRT 4 door SUV's. My best time was 13.80, He beat me every race, ran consistent 13.40's and a best of 13:32! Everyone's jaw dropped when they saw a 4 door suv whip up on my new stang. Both vehicles stock. He was beat by a new GTO though. It was all souped up, and computer laptop tuned. Ran low 12's.
