Unless GM does a makeover, it won't be me. I don't like it, as it is now.

I like the retro retro Challenger better, but will still want to take one out for a test drive.

Saw the Challenger at the Auto Show in Phoenix last weekend - cool looking car.

I've been a 100% Chevrolet fan my entire life, but based strictly on the photos, and never seeing either car in person, the Challenger styling sends the Camaro to the back lot. GM just plain missed the mark.

Re: So who is gonna buy a NEW Camaro?
 

I'm not in the habit of buying new cars, but the Challenger has me thinking https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif . New Camaro is an interesting design. In my opinion has no retro cues and does not get me excited. Looks more like the new Corvettes (which is not a bad thing, BTW). I finally saw the Challenger for the first time in person a couple days ago at the Phoenix International Car Show and was duly impressed. My observations:

1. Altho, not much bigger than what I envisioned, it is hard to consider this a pony car by today's standards. Could stand to go on a diet both visually and weight-wise. Well north of 4K lbs from what I understand.

2. fit and finish was terrific - not getting my hopes up that DC will continue that trend in production.

3. Nose and tail views of this car are wonderful. Definitely emotion evoking. Coke bottle flanks ain't nothing to sneeze at.

4. Side marker lights are flush and appear to be seamless with body panels. Very nice. Not sure that will make it to production.

5. Rear flank "Challenger" call outs are 3D individual letters not a sticker (that's good), but don't like the placement of moniker. Should be on the nose or tail if 3D letters are used. Doesn't look aerodynamic.

6. Front wheels are 20" and rears are 21". Actually am not a big fan of big wheels (exception being the plastic tricycles of yesteryear!) but these look good. Wheel wells are really filled up. Probably will be down-sized to 18/19 or such.

7. Ram emblem on beak looks lame. Reminds me of Dodge Ram TRUCKS!

All in all a nice job of straddling retro with modern. VERY VERY agressive looking muscle car. Expect good things for the Dodge Bros. Good job DC! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

P.S. Hey Santa - please, please give us at least a "COPO" avenue to get the 392 Hemi in the production line. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

my wife really likes the new camaro, and we were planning to try for 2010, a first brand new car. but has things go my job has taken a dive, and 1/3 pay cut. so no new car if this does lift by spring.

At the Unveiling in Cleveland, Scott Settlemire put us on a list so we will have one of the first ones. We really liked the looks of it. We might have to paint it ORANGE!!! lol

Count me out.

Re: So who is gonna buy a NEW Camaro?
 

I saw the new Camaro at Carlisle, and I would not even think about buying one based on what it looked like. It is about as "retro" as my foot, and GM missed the mark by a large margin. I have had nothing but Chevrolet products all of my life, but I would also go for the Challenger instead. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif
