The new Camaro a beautiful design, but does not come close to resembling a '69.

GM has nothing to do with this, they just happen to make a better car.
I like what the Challenger represents, a return to American muscle, but I cant stand the praise it gets, and the bashing the Camaro gets on a FBODY site!
Why would you take the Challenger hands down? Its design only. Who cares if it handles like a half ton pick up truck?
Its not that the Challenger is a bad car, its just that people just dont care as long as it looks the part.
Too me, the Camaro looks like a modern 69 Camaro and has the potential to be one of the best sports coupes on the market. Its the work and effort that the Camaro team put into the car. Maybe I care because I have been around it for such a long time, I have writen letters, I have driven thousands of miles to see it. Who knows, but I have an attachment to the car that is more then just the design, its the whole car.

I have never told anyone that they were wrong, I just ask why. Show me where I tell people they are wrong to like the Challenger.
I tell people that they are wrong on facts, but nothing on thier preference. If you really like the car, then so be it. My opinion, which means nothing, is that its really just a pretty 2dr wrapper on a big 4 door chassis. Not a fan at all. And to see it getting praise because "IT LOOKS LIKE THE OLD ONE!!!1111ONE!!11" is starting to get old.
