Dodge and Ford got lazy in my opinion, and went waaaay too Retro.
The Camaro was NEVER meant to be retro - at all (and I'm glad 100%). You see with the Camaro - the only thing new kids (not like us, though - we're special exceptions
) are bound to recognise is the name. The 5th gen shares the good qualitys of the 1st gen while still being a thoroughly NEW car
. The nose is very agressive, very in-your-face, and very 60's Impala-like
, and a smidge cadillac inspired. I love every inch of it
. But I didn't always feel that way. You see, because it is a Camaro, I imagined the front totally different. But it grew on me, and now I love it! To Newcomers (those who don't know what a Camaro is or was), they will be very impressed with that front end, I guarantee!
It screams "I'm gonna get you!!!" and I like Mindz interpretation of that (love Fat Bastard..lol) Btw, in pictures - I'll agree the front and various other parts of the Car don't look especially good. But in person it comes together beautifully!! Gorgeous - A totally different Ball game.
Thought I'd pop up a few pics- sorry for the size...
