They might call that a Camaro, but it's not a Camaro.

Why didn't they follow the Ford lead and simply spruce-up the original design?

I know it's fun to complain... but that is based on the original design. Go look up a 1967 Camaro.

Actually, they did. If it is delivered as proposed, it'll look more like the original ('67 - '69) body style than any variation since. The '69 had a few minor revisions that set it apart from the first two year models... I think that's the one GM was shooting for.

Because they are idiots.

It's not a Smokey and the Bandit Era(yeah, I know that was a fire chicken) Camero, but it's nose and quarter panels look alot like a 67.
