The more we feed the troll, the more he'll continue with his failed assessments.

Go look at the first response to the OP question , its ok to talk down about the 6th Gen at every chance but when it turns, you want out . I didn't start the negativity ,i'm just giving another point of view . And i'm sure there are many people here that didn't know how similar the fronts were on the 72 Camaro and Vega , i thought i had a good response to the corporate look myself .

No ,i meant to add a link to show the front of the vega but it didn't work . check out the car in the link , i doubt its a production V8 but its a V8 https://classics.autotrader.com/clas...vega/100953698

It reaffirms my previous statement about him having sacrificed appearance for performance & seeking self-validation through disparaging comments here about the 5th generation. Otherwise, he would be on the 6th generation forum with similarly minded individuals.

this is really weird because i have to look twice to determine 5th gen or 6th,although the 6th is 7/8 scale...it of reminds me of rontammys venture into the 6th gen forums,but that didnt end well.

That was me & I slammed both gens calling the 5th slow. Hardly a glowing endorsement. As I had explained later it was a smarta$$ response to what I felt was just a flamebait thread. Which this is as the OP has scarcely been back. If he was that interested in the discussion he would have contributed more. He also doesn't own a Camaro which is why I think its flamebait even more so.

So I never talked down to the 6th in that post I talked down to both

Love your car, it looks so much better than those ugly 6th Gens. If this discussion doesn't go my way I don't want out.

Since i have owned two 5th Gens and now own a 6th Gen, i think i have plenty to say about which i feel is the better Camaro just as much as the 5th Gen owner that feels the 6th Gen is ugly and not popular . Only difference is i'm not going to get my feelings hurt .

Yeah that sounds like i'm the one that needs validation . In case you missed the question i asked you before i added again for you . This is about 5th Gen or 6th Gen right ?

It probably was flame bait but the 5th Gen or 6th Gen subject is a really good debate and will be for many years , and its all not going to be pretty but in the end we are all talking about Camaros . I just don't take it as personal like many people do and start calling foul .

Ok so you think the 6th Gens are ugly yet other talk how much they look like the 5th Gens , How does that make sense ? I would have to think they mean the front of the 6th and front of the 14/15 5th gens .

Fair point I don't take it to heart either. We are all car guys who voted their choice with their wallets for their own reasons. I wonder if people on the Prius forums have these types of heated debates over model changes LOL.

Where does a 6th Gen look like a 5th Gen? The out of place gas cap in front of the rear wheel, the chopped off rear bumper, the shrunken raised quarter window, the crease happy hood? We should start a thread and have a debate on this important subject.
