sombodies tryin to bring the old style back *cough* new mustang *cough*
the new old muscle car designs look good... im not hating on the stang.. i like how they used the gt 500's front design... i guess chevy wanted to go the same way
at least the companies let the designs fall for a few decades and bring it back making everyone crazy and buy it...
not like pontiac... every single fkn car starting from the 90's and up look the same and suck... im pissed that they fkd over the GTO!!!!!!!!!!... sorry but i believe pontiacs gatta go or get a new fkn designer for their cars... bitches!
anyway the car is descent

Like I saw new pics of the Dodge Charger ugly as hell looks almost just like the freakin Magnum to me....yeah I love the Ram and Viper but that is about it from Dodge. When I bought my MSP I had the chance to pick up the Neon SRT4, but I just can not justify paying that much for a Neon (yes I do not like Neons the styling is horrid).....

oh hell yes!!!!!
SS is fricken huge with comero's, chevrolets, chargers, super bee's, road runners, al comino's, the old GTO, baracuda's (hemi cuda), ect
maybe what the companies want to do is bring back the classics (some will be messed up and hated) for instance the new GTO....... fire birds, and that car (cant remember its name) i wanna say it has "bird" in it

sh*** i got it
the "thunder bird".... not too enthusiastic about the newer design... and the newer MR2's
the best were late 80's and early 90's
i wonder if the old Checkers and Bel Airs would look like if they where re-designed

Titanium, don't you go insulting my Magnum now. I might have to open up a can...
Also, I agree that's a cool drawing, but I'll bet you $50 right here that the 07 Camaro (if there is one, which I doubt) will look very little like that. The Mustang just came out, so GM's not gonna clone it only 2 years later. I figure they'll wait at least 3-4 years.
As far as new old cars go...
GTO - SUCKS (but only because it has Pontiac badges on it and it destroys the legend. The platform is great)
Thunderbird - SUCKS
Charger - SUCKS
Mustang - RULEZ

Im sorry the Magnum is a chop top station wagon on steroids(can you say Hemi). I am still waiting on the Magnum with the "simulated wood" panels to come out LMFAO. If I was dead and needed a ride to the graveyard from the funeral home then yes the Magnum would be the ride of choice and style, but as they say one mans trash another mans treasure

I've got quite a mix of automotive friends, but to this day I've always hated Mustangs. I was especially frustrated when Chevy discontinued the Camero and the new Mustang was redesigned (even though I'm quite possibly the only person who likes the new GTO's). I was even more frustrated when I actually liked the style of the new Mustang. I'm glad to see the Camero alive and kicking again. Even though I'm not into 1/4 mile times, I do appreciate muscle cars and their capabilities. Even my muscle head buddies can appreciate my P5, so it's the least I can do to understand them. I look forward to seeing it out on the road. Being from Detroit, I've always had an affinity toward muscle cars (even though I'd never drive one, at least until I'm 40 and have a mortgage). I am one that appreciates the new retro styling. It beats the one size fits all styling of the late 90's Chryslers/Dodges or even most (not all) of the bland styling that comes out of Japan. It's still no Pininfarina though.

I have to jump in and re-itterate some of my points from another thread.
#1. Concept only, looks over the top and will be pretty different when/if it does actually hit the streets
#2. The plant that manufactured the camaro was DESTROYED, It cost $220Million. GM either has to build another plant or re-tool an exsisting plant which means cancelling another product to make room for the camaro. This takes YEARS and $$$
#3. Camaro's (in the past) have always been about big motor in a cheap car...yet somehow they always cost more than a mustang. In order for GM to have any kind of worthwhile product they are going to have to steal sales from the mustang which will now have a MINIMUM of a 2yr head start on the market. Remember why the camaro got tossed away to begin with....too much $$ not enough sales.. The fact they were faster than a mustang didn't help them any.
#4. Maybe if GM had released a retro-camaro before Ford announced theirs I'd think it was cool but now they are just jumping on the bandwagon. I think GM should go the other route and make the camaro more of a high end techno-car....but it wont happen. GM exec's dont have the foresight or ***** to make a decent product anymore....why do you think they're buying up companies like DAEWOO.
