I would say I like your buts, but that could be badly misinterpreted. Wait? What?

LOL

Styling will be the key. I agree, it needs to make a statement. It needs to be a Camaro from the first look. But GM has typically taken the styling trumps function too many times. The Cadillac CTS Coupe is a bold statement but such a packaging joke it has nearly zero practicality other than transporting a drive and a passenger. In fact the ATS is ripe with these packaging trade offs. I think you can be bold AND correct some of these flaws. You can have both it's just HARD WORK. And I hope GM did that. My guess is likely not out of fear. This Gen 5 may be the biggest enemy for Gen 6 in that GM will simply be too afraid to veer from the successful formula.
