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!

Look familiar?Hollywood comes to the auto industry.......................................... ........................

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 dont get all the hate,the mustang looks like a mustang and the dodge and the camaro look like they have the same mother.

Where is all this ugly stuff coming from ........not a bad looking ride at all . And with Pontiac calling it quits this morning I might have to rejoin the Bowtie brigade .

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.

Bill -- Lets be fair to the Mopar guys -- that 62 Dart is a four door model .......

The Dodge isnt really to bad in race trim but if you really want UGLY just look at a 62 Plymouth.....lol.
