No, it's time to do something other than retro.

I love the 70-73 but prefer the early, simpler rear spoiler of the 70. I wonder if they could do a C7 type hatch with that rear profile without losing structural rigidity.

I owned more gen2 f-bodies than all the other generations combined. They were plentiful in my youth

Nononono, please leave the past in the past. Thank you

Hell no, the 2nd gen is the kind of retro that needs to be left alone, don't revive it for the love of God, it's too mullet-y. The Camaro needs to move forward, not back, so maybe it's time to be done with the retro stuff.

I very much agree. They had their time.

No retro Camaro.

On that note, I'll just say this...the 6th gen Camaro is not retro. Its completely modern, while of course keeping that same long hood, long door, broad shoulder design that makes a Camaro a Camaro.

No need to go back to something actually retro.

No thanks. I think I would go for the refresh before going retro.

OP, I completely agree with you. The 2nd generation had a timeless look that still appears modern today. A new take on the 2nd-gen, if done right, would be absolutely spectacular. The problem is, everyone is so focused on car fascias looking "mean" and "pissed off" that the innocent elegance of the older models gets forgotten. There are only so many combinations of shapes you can use to design a car. At a certain point everything old becomes new again. I see no reason why we shouldn't resurrect this one.

I see people suggesting that the new Camaro should look like that Buick Avista concept. Which makes me want to vomit, personally.

This would be awesome:

Unfortunately, crash regulations make something that really looks like Gen2 impossible. Instead it would look hideous like the orange thing above. Reminds me of current Rolls and Bentley fronts, which are about as good looking as a toad.

The original split bumper Gen2 with the big fog lights is the best looking Camaro of all.

No. There's been too much retro. Move into the future with styling.

twoballscrewball 06-27-2018 06:49 PM

My little opinion, the 2016-2018 are a perfect modern blend on 1st gen curves and the future styling. Angualr, but still that muscular classic late 60s early 70s C pillar. Lights rock.

2019, they messed up the front end and it lost a ton of it's edge, looks like a sedan now. Step backwards. No offense to anyone that likes it, but my opinion.

Gen 7 lower the belt line, fix the front end, shape gets refined, 500HP hybrid V8 with a mode toggle :) Lightweight removable, or retractable, hard top. :D
