In terms of an evolution of a vehicle...I absolutely disagree with you. They do look similar.

In terms of do they look exactly alike? Well then I'd agree with you...of course they don't look the same.

But come on...we are talking 50 years of evolution of a car. It has kept similar body lines (long hood, short deck, long doors) and the shoulders or a few other details that let you know the car is at the very least in the same category of vehicle.

To this day, it still bugs me when someone calls the 5th gen, and especially the 6th gen "retro". No they are not full on retro! They are very simply evolutions of a design.

If you disagree with me, would you call the modern Porsche 911 retro? Well you had better, b/c that car has been a similar design for decades...yet you don't hear people looking at that car and going "dang that is so retro!".

Simply put, for the Camaro to remain a Camaro it needs to retain the basic profile of the car and same basic purpose. Deviate from that, and you no longer have a Camaro.
