Been called a nice Mustang several times. My current response is, 'my next car is going to be a Camaro, because those cars are fast and they handle very well!'

I took a long road trip almost across the USA and my girlfriend noticed that EVERY time we stopped for food, gas or lodging someone came over to talk about the car. I was surprised that so many people even knew what a 1LE was let alone wishing they could get one. Best comment was " is that thing as badass as it looks? " the new Mustang looks like a Focus coupe not really "Badass"

Im surprised nobody has commented on Crapstang reverse light location. I saw one the other day and thought to myself, "And 2010-2013 owners thought the Camaro reverse light location was an after thought."

That's where Europe requires it to be. Look at any car sold globally, and you'll find it there.

Different, but not like that... The European taillights from 10-13 Camaros look like a hybrid of the NA 10-13 and 14-15...



From what I can tell, the 14-15 is the same in Europe as North America

In fact, the more I look, the more its looking like European laws make it so you need to have reverse lights up top...

When growing up in an Orthodox Christian community, I was taught by school and church about the subliminal, hidden images to be found in all kinds of dangerous places. Activities for these people included poring over magazine advertisements for booze, because it was a well- known fact that the ice (in glasses of whiskey or rum) was a great medium in which to hide pictures of demons, sexual images, and even words that would surely lead us straight to hell without even KNOWING it... sneaky advertisers!

Of course, eventually, I learned that in those images of ice... or in clouds, or rust stains on the wall, or potato chips, or grilled cheese sandwiches, one can see whatever he is looking for. In music, especially that sinful rock 'n' roll music, when played BACKWARDS (because THAT'S how rock stars have tricked legions of pliable youth into being unwitting Soldiers for Satan!), you can hear anything that you WANT to hear. Pick a topic, a phrase, a word... listen carefully, and you WILL hear it.

Anyway, I don't mean to begrudge anybody's opinion that the Mustang and the Camaro have visual similarities. That is certainly a matter of opinion (not fact, one way or another), and is a matter of degree. A John Deere tractor resembles a Camaro in some ways, as does a Snickers bar, or a rocketship, or a salamander... it's only a matter of how much the resemblance SEEMS to be to an observer... and how much they WANT to see a resemblance.

Shame on you! That's a pretty low blow to Camaros.

Huh? I see no resemblance to a 5th gen at all. Not even close.
