The only Camaro that may have been a step back in refreshes might be the '74-'77 models. The '74-'77's were hampered with those huge 5 mph aluminum bumpers. However, Pontiac did a much better job at integrating them into the exisiting design on the Firebird. The new Mustang is a nice looking car, but I am getting a little tired of the Aston Martin look. On the next gen Mustang, I wish they would do a more severe fastback shape. You know, something like the classic '67-'68 fastback models. Now, if Ford did a retro inspired '69-'70 Mustang, which are my favorite models of all time, they might have my undivided attention. However, I already have a 5th gen and no Mustang is better than that, in my opinion. I would also like to see GM do a retro inspired 2nd gen for the upcoming 7th gen. It's the natural progression of the design from the 5th gen derived 6th gen. That is, unless they go into a totally new direction. However, I think they already tried that with the 4th gen and the results were less than optimal. |

If mediocrity is the new styling norm for GM then they're doing a fine job.
This is a Chevy Blazer. This is a toaster. Any questions? |

There is similarity in all cars on the road , and yes the 6th gen does share looks with other cars on the road. But the similarities end very quickly when side by side . I have always said that the 6th gen front is Camry like and that don't bother me in any way . There is no car that is that far off from another . Look at then gen 5 Camaro , nothing original looking there , looks similar to a 1969 Camaro , just really puffed up .

The automotive industry seems to embrace and even try to accelerate the concept of planned obsolescence. Consider that you cannot even purchase seats for a 2015 Z28 at this point. A 3 year old vehicle. The idea that you'll own a vehicle long enough to pass it down to your children is a thought from a bygone era.

I would prefer my car resembling a 69 a lot more than I would it looking like a Chevy Cruze from the front. Everytime I see a new Cruze coming at me I think of the Gen 6 Camaro which isn't a good reminder to me. I don't think a Camaro should be a a "corporate" looking car. This said a Gen 6 SS Summit White Camaro passed by me the other day. It's my cars replacement twin of sorts. And I liked it..... go figure? |
