obviously someone spent a weekend or two on it...but it does nothing for me.

Fine with me. I'll be that ass. Course, all of the "experts" completely missed the shift to SUVs in the early 1980s, so I don't really trust the "experts" on either side of the argument. Make the car, see what the consumers say.

My brother had a '69 Camaro. He drove us to high school blaring CCR. Ahh, memories. Good times. Good car.

Therre was a full compliment of (4dr) compact Suvs by the late '80s (2dr compact & full size were on the scene before 'em)

I like it too. Along with the Challenger. They don't look like every other boring car out there.
Now if they price it right, and with the right drivetrain, I may buy one. If they price it like that XLR, well, that's just stupidity.

The Camaro will do fine. Mainly because they are expected to offer a V6 option...that will make usable to a wider variety of buyers.
DCX is making a huge mistake by offering the Challenger as a low-volume, V8-only vehicle.

This is proof that, besides the Vette, GM has nada.

To: misterrob
Does this mean that big haired mullets, gold chains, B.U.M. wear, disco/anthem rock tunes, white dress shoes, gold Italian horns, etc. are all coming back into fashion? Only if they do a retro 2nd generation Camaro....with optional snorkel scoop and air shocks. ;-)

yep, I have to agree with you on that one. Gm should have taken the design from this kid, and they may have had a winner!

There's a joke in there somewhere.

I might not be "up" on all that is required in new car design, but if this is what people want to buy, then why doesn't GM just produce these again?
Can't they be designed on the inside with all the required safety features while maintaining the look of the original?

Read any history of the auto industry and you will find trucks/SUVs THE biggest surprise of the 1980s. Everyone expected a continued shift to small cars. Ruh roh.

Are they trying to reduce its radar signature? That would be a good thing, but the air intake in the front doesn't appear to be designed for this.

Total BS.
I was in the "industry" at the time & it was mini vans 1st(Caravan), then compact SUVs (S Blazer).
What wasn't anticipated was the rapid switch to 4dr. CSUVs.
FWIW, back then, the planning horizon for a new model was 4+/- years.
