Default Re: new spy photo of new camaro

If GM was looking to mimic the gen 1 camaro they did a pretty ****ty job.
The official word from GM was that they wanted it to look "new" and fresh, not like a refurbished '69...so, very few, & very subtle, hints from previous generations...their thinking was why would the younger customers buy a car that looks old? And once the nostalgia thing wore off, they were stuck...

Personally, I disagree with the above stance, and favor the FoMoCo & ChryCo thinking of a new spin on something old...but then again, GM didn't ask me! LOL!! While I would've favored a true retro looking Camaro, my younger brother in his early-mid 20s (8 years younger than I) said he actually like the "newer" looking Camaro...so I guess GM styling/marketing was *sorta* right, right?!
