GM Brings Back Camaro

Biggest mistake GM ever made was dropping it. Second biggest was the styling of the last generation Camaro/Firebird. Unfortunately, the concept Camaro, while mercifully not as ugly as the last generation, looks like an old Dodge Challenger. Also has definite Mustang styling cues. Here's a hint GM. Since you obviously can't design a decent looking car, just drag out some old blueprints from 1969/70 and replicate those Camaros with modern mechanicals. Worked for BMW with the MiniCooper.

 

Good commentary, triple A.
However, to be fair, GM didn't <i>voluntarily</i> ruin the sleek & unique front end styling on the last generation Camaro. The government made some kind of law against recessed headlights, and GM was forced to comply.

 

I know a kid that is doing a Mechanical Engineering internship on the Camaro project... I need to talk to him...

Looks like my new Charger.

This is why I say the concept car looks like a Challenger. http://www.uniqueperformance.com/challenger.aspx

Of course, the Challenger was a knock off of a '69 Camaro.

 

A Camaro was my first car. Glad to see GM getting their act together. My folks just bought a Caddy STS. Really a sweet car.
