Re: Chevrolet pulls the wraps off of the new Camar
You were the one comparing the Mustang to the Vette. I'm glad Jim got the wagon. I feel better now.

Re: Chevrolet pulls the wraps off of the new Camar
Back to the Camaro......... Slots in front of the rear wheels and 4 little rectangular gauges on the console do not make a retro Camaro! The rest of the car looks like a fat Cadillac.
1. The car was designed by a committee, not by stylists 2. They've been asleep too long and forgotten that their JOB is to build cars that people want to buy. 3. They need a new perk; a fixture in their executive bathrooms to give their brains an enema. 4. They've been acting this way for soooo long that they deserve to go under. OK, I've vented........

Throw the wraps back on. Like I've said before; they missed it!

Re: Chevrolet pulls the wraps off of the new Camar
Thats exactly how I felt until I saw both the coupe and CV in person at SEMA last year. Incredible in person. Pictures just don't do them justice in my opinion. I am buying one if the HP hits 500

Re: Chevrolet pulls the wraps off of the new Camar
I agree with the "fat Cadillac" reference. Who really thinks this mirrors the 67-69 enough to call it a retro?
You would think that GM would recognize that if a POS 69 Camaro that will crank and run will bring 10 grand, they don't have to fret about how many they could sell if they emulated that car as close to the original as Ford did with the T-bird. Maybe the brainchild behind this version is the son of the guy that came up with the Cadillac Cimarron!

Re: Chevrolet pulls the wraps off of the new Camar
I concede styling is always subjective but have you seen it yet in person? And I think in reading interviews Chevy does not intend for this new car to be "retro" I recall they specifically said they wanted to pay homage to the old car without doing a knock off of the old one like the Challenger and Mustang are.
