(First off this is not a bashing or negative thread please no bad post)
I drive alot at work see cars everywhere and the thing I notice about the 5th gen camaro is even though mustangs are out and about and challengers are too, the mustang hasn't changed too much it's still a mustang which is fine sticking to its roots. The challenger still looks like it did when the 6 pack model came out. The 5th gen looks nothing like its counter parts which IMO is why the camaro is what is it and has been for 3 yrs.....change is good

I agree, the Camaro reminds me of a '69 but is definately a different design to any other Camaro ever made. I love it!

Every Camaro Gen has had a vastly different body style, the evolution is apparent.

Mustangs have always been a mystery...I just can't tell much of the differences in them...nice cars, but the over-all styling never did anything for me...couldn't tell you one year from the next on those newer ones...

I think the Challenger is gorgeous. Never been a big Mustang fan, but there are some nice ones (mods) out there. I agree that this model of Camaro is my favourite. At least since the original.

The 5th Gen has all the styling cues from the '69.
We had a '69 Camaro when we got married, and that is the number 1 reason we just had to have one of the new ones.

To be honest though, if I had enough garage space and money I would have one of each parked in my garage.
Very hard to argue against the Boss 302 or the new GT500
And to me the Challenger looks the most like the original of any of them.

I've never owned a Mustang or Challenger though.
But this is my 3rd Camaro.
