The engineers drinking on the job? The front looks decent and it seems to go downhill the farther back they got.. Nice try, back to the drawing boards...

And as for "ripping things off" . . .  let's look at the facts.  The Camaro is a "rip-off" of the Mustang.  It was made in response to the popularity of the Mustang, just like the Thunderbird was developed in response to the popularity of the Corvette.  That's really just a case of the market responding to what is selling. Retro styling?  How about the Volkswagen New Beetle?  That came out in, what, '98?  WAAAAY before the current Mustang, the 5th gen Camaro, the current "GTO" (which is ugly as sin, BTW, and not retro at all), or any of the new Mopars. _____________________________ '91 RS - 305 TBI "She may not look like much, kid, but she's got it where it counts.

The Vette will always be the topdog although the viper is challenging. Everybody else is competing for 3rd. Although the GT40 will take the vette its not a mass production car.

I still dont think it looks good, and i still think they should stick to the same old boring S197 over the italian design at least its more simple and more clean. _____________________________ (in reply to 72charger) Post #: 28
