I do understand. Watch and see... Camaro sales will increase slightly this year, but nothing like when the 5th gen was released, and they will not be #1.
Unless....These are bad renders, and the real car looks different.

Whats with the kung foo smiley face on the rear?

If we wanted that we would pick the VOLT. Come on GM... I'm bummed out.

All of a sudden the new Mustang is really, really good looking!

Wow, that back-end looks like an Acura RSX from back in the day.

Challenger is far from best looking. At least they fixed the interior and helped the rear, but it's still a turd. Mustang is better looking.

Nah... If you look close enough you can see the line break between the bottom of the window and the trunk lid.

Not everything is about having the fastest car.

Personally, I prefer the look of the 5th gen over the 6th. Hell, I would love to own a 1st gen over anything since, even if the newer technology would smoke it 5 ways to Sunday.

You start overdesigning a car, and you start venturing into Euro wannabe status. The current gen Mustang and from what I'm seeing out of the 6th Gen Camaro are venturing a little too close to that line for my comfort. If I wanted an overdesigned car that could go fast, I'd buy an M3. Stop trying to be the American M3.

if there is a comparable model (16 zl1) it's be a better car all around, and probably faster. don't really know, but i'm just talking model to model. Also, even if the specs were exactly the same, the 6th gen will be faster, because it'll be lighter by at least 200lbs.

Until the LT4 arrives and your ZL1 fades in the rearview.

In any case Alpha is a superior platform in every way.

Looks are subjective, performance can be measured. Cling to looks if it makes you feel happy.

Some of us really like the new looks, so for us it'll be win/win.
To be honest... I think its the 6gen guys that are being super defensive. it looks alright. If you want it get. Just talking here. I could buy it. But it didn't sell me sorry.
