After Camaro paused production, Ford amped up the retro styling and a few years later GM and Dodge followed suit seeing the great success it had with the baby boomers. Anyways. I'm interested to see if GM has kept the predominant retro theme in the C6. That alone will factor into the sales war.
And lol... We all know that the 05 mustang started the retro theme . So yes , the 5th Gen copied the blueprint . Chevy just took the blueprint and did it better in buyers , shows and magazines eyes. So give the 5th Gen some credit too . Because there is always someone that started something and than someone that takes it and does it better .
