nope. Bumble Bee will forever be a classic by virtue of being Bumble Bee.

I know folks are gonna say I'm wrong and the 6th Gen is a totally different car but I still think it "resembles" way too much of the 5th Gen .......

Its been widely successful because its exterior is the best blend between past and present. Since the 6gen has been released, I've read a lot of articles from "professionals" and even comments from people on this forum, basically saying that they didnt go radical with a new car design, because the current body style is still widely accepted. I like the 6gen design, but personally it looks like a watered down overly tweaked 5gen. I would have rather them went completely new, rather than what they did. My thing is, they cant keep this shape and design forever. Eventually its got to go. It's always hard to follow up a classic (which i believe the 5gen will become) Whenever they do decided to go all new and of course at this time its just speculation and assumption, do you think GM could actually follow up the great success of the Gen5 and assuming the 6Gen does well, with an all new design of the Camaro?

Because the question has to be asked sooner or later. How can GM top the Gen5?

Hopefully GM learned from Building the Gen3's and 4's that Killed the Camaro . Personally I thought those were some ugly cars . Thank god GM listened to people about bringing the Camaro back after killing it off and came up with the Gen5. I grew up with the Gen1 and 2's as a kid and then Teen much better looking cars .

I have heard rumors that FORD, GM, and DODGE are trying to pass a bill to replicate 1960 1970 and 1980 muscle cars exactly like they were made back then. This will definitely be super cool but it will drive the prices down on original cars made back in those years. So im hoping they do that and keep the LS power under the hood ill take a black 69 SS pls.

Just could not imagine that happening, for none other than safety regulations, would force changes all over.

Not sure what you mean by saftey regulations those cars were made of steel not plastic like the cars we have now. I could see the airbag maybe being a bit tricky but im sure they can figure it out. It would be just a replica with all modern upgrds.
