The Camaro looks like a Corvette with a different front grill...

IMO they both look a lot like the newest Mustangs. All the cars are starting to look alike anyway. From a distance I can hardly tell the difference between a Camry, Accord, Jetta, BMW 500 series, Mercedes 300 & 400 series sedans, etc.

I think the Camaro looks like a Mustang.

Well I drive a Camaro so i'm excited about this. And when I say drive I dont mean I use it to get from A to B. My car is my life and i've put thousands into it. I would have loved to see a little more retro-styling on the new Camaro, but that looks pretty sweet. And it doesnt look anything like a mustang. It will look a little more practicle when it comes out, thats just the concept.

It still looks like a mustang. Nice lobbying effort though.

That challenger though, thats the way a car looked back in the day!

I thought I wanted a new Charger............now Im thinking Challenger!!! It will match good with my Ram.

The Camaro should look a bit better once it hits dealerships. A more retro, 67-69 style. Thats what i hope atleast, id like to see the headlights behind a billet grill. Agree that does look much like the new Stang.
Ive always been a SS, Z-28 lover.

I thought it was the Mustang at first too, hope they do make them look more like the 67-69 Z. I had a Royal Blue 81 Z-28, loved that car...then I got married. Now 20 years later I have an Orange Colarado 4dr Truck. It's all good. :matrix:

T-tops? I got a camaro as a gift when I got my license. It was not a Z-28 but an LT (had the V-8). Black w/ T-tops. I traded it in within a year for a Dodge Charger with the Shelby package (4cyl w/ turbo charger and intercooler & 5-speed). Since those two cars I've had nothing but 20 years of SUVs and sedans. It's kind of nice to see the sports cars making a come back. There were so many of them when I was a teenager and it seems like they were all discontinued as the SUV market grew. I can only think of two that have continued year-to-year since the 80s, Corvette and Mustang. The Nizzan Z cars have also been pretty steady but there were several years after the 300Z when they did not offer one.
