I think I may be the only one but I'm still unimpressed with all the retro styles. They're all bland. The challenger is a mega-dud...after seeing it up close I don't think I'd give it a second glance on the street. Too subtle. The mustang is "meh" at best unless you spend $60k on a shelby. And now the Camaro is following suit.

I loved the concept Camaro but GM did what I figured they would and tamed it up for production. I knew they'd have to a little, but I think it still needs something. They used the basic shape and a few cues from the concept and then smoothed out all the lines too much. My prediction is the novelty will wear off and the new style's going to go cold quick and sales are going to bite after the first few years.

Why retro though? I still don't get it. If we did all this already, why take a step back? I think the 4th gen's were 10,000x more aggressive looking than the new one. It's not terrible, but it'll never be as badass as a 69 SS. Maybe it's just me?
