There's an old adage in this industry:
'you can sell an old man a young man's car - but you can't sell a young man an old man's car'
(and yes, there are always exceptions to the rule........)
It's a GREAT time to be a Camaro enthusiast.

As a 30 something I will agree and disagree with this statement. I know plenty of people my age who know the history and see the carryover. But we are car guys. The average 30 something does not. That's where the "gills look out of place" and "the gauges in those pods looks wrong" comments come from. They don't know it's a modern take on an icon. They just see a cool car. That is also where the comments about the size come from. I have parked my 5th Gen beside a 69. And my beloved car is a boat beside the 1st gen cars.
