I'm not a big GM fan when it comes to their idea of cool...but that Camaro
looks very very mean.

I guess all of these guys are going back to 1969 to try to recapture what
they were doing right. First the Mustang is a ringer for the '69-70 (my
personal favorite year for the 'Stang was '70) then the '71 Challenger
(combining a little bit of the '70 'Cuda) and, finally the '69 Camaro. That
year had the little fake vents in front of the rear wheels, just like the
current show car. Thank God AMC didn't survive, think about a revival of
the Javelin...or the Gremlin or Pacer...
Don't get me wrong, I like the cars, they all reflect the years that I,
personally, liked best, but, sheesh, lets get something new, and just as
passionate, can't we?
Of course, it says something about the styling that it holds up so well, 35
years later. But, then, the Ford GT, 42 years after it was first seen,
looks better than most of the mid engined super cars on the road, today.
