Thumbs down Re: New Camaros are in the showrooms

Wow - that's one ugly car. Too bad Chevy didn't take a page from Ford's playbook and style this version with lines that evoke images of the original Camaro. This car looks like some knock off of Cadillac's attempt to have a sports car.

The original Camaro is what set the table for a great production run that is still being driven and raced today. Ford figured that out not only in their styling but in the performance department too. Way to go GM - little wonder you're bankrupt!

I agree with Carl. That's one ugly car. I'm personally disappointed. I've been a hard core Chevrolet/GM person most of my life but in the last three years I've purchased Ford products for my daily drivers even though my tow vehicle is still a Chevrolet and all three of my drag cars are Chevrolet products. Chevrolet should have taken a page out of the Ford and even the Chrysler book and created a Camaro that looks much more like an original 1969 Camaro. The way GM vehicles are today you would think that there must be some sort of communist plot going on to over throw the American auto industry! This is only my personal opinion.

I agree, that is one ugly piece. My wife likes them, but she likes Hummers too. Also married me, evidently she has no tastes at all.

I'm a Ford guy so I am unabashedly biased, but it is one ugly critter. Doesn't matter though, I'll bet the staging lanes will be full of them within a year. Meanwhile there might be two or three '05 and later Mustangs running, not counting the new CJs.

Just as a reminder of what ugly is, lets take a vote on the winner of this competition, my apologies to the Mopar die-hards.
