My first car was a Camaro.
Always had a soft spot for them since.
However in my opinion, they seriously botched the reintroduction.
Ford and Chrysler did an excellent job on there retro mod vehicles.
The new Camaro is butt ugly.
“The new Camaro is butt ugly.”
Beauty is in the eye beholder, and I actually think the exterior of latest Camaro generation looks fine. The problems are: (1) Interior. Its tiny, dark, cramped cabin with poor visibility must be disorienting to, even a shock to the system of, the current generation raised in big, bright, airy SUV cabins; and
(2) Different era. Let’s face it, these “pony cars” were always more or less aimed at the “boy racer” type market. Young men are now more into video games, smartphones, Uber and the like than racing cars or pretending to race cars. The share of 16-20 year olds who have driver’s licenses has approximately halved in the last 40 years.
(3) Price. What was the average new Camaro priced at? $35K or $40k or something like that? Even if there are a few retro boy racer types still out there, how many of them have that kind of scratch?
