I can understand the near feeling of "blah" when you contemplate the cars. Part of it may be the exposure they get long before they are built. The sense of anticipation and wonder at the emergence of something "different" is gone, with all the spy shots, magazine articles, etc.

Gone are the days when we are left, as teenagers, imagining ourselves in something just out of reach. Now, like Bill said, all you need is a checkbook and a good credit rating. If that spark of wonder and excitement about a performance car could return, you might feel excited about something like the Camaro. It really is a rise from the ashes... after two years of constant exposure.

In short, the unveiling is anti-climatic.
