I am between your option A and option C. I fall between love it, and good evolution.

I wouldn't say its the grand slam, OMG, *DROOL* type of reaction I felt when I first saw the 5th gen reveal nearly a decade ago, but I wouldn't expect that either since this is basically an evolution of that. Its a good execution in my opinion.

I really, really like it, and I like it from pretty much every angle. The rear is where the love falls off a bit for me, but even that I don't hate. I certainly like it much better than the 14/15 model's rear, so that alone makes me happy. The taillights themselves are great. I will also say the side feels a bit softened to me, and I like hard edges better. But again...still like it a lot.

If I were to end up with a 2LT V6 instead of a 1SS, I'd likely end up swapping the front for an SS front....maybe. Maybe not. But to my eyes, the open mouth on the LT front end is a little too big. From side angles it looks great, but the front on view is a bit awkward to me. The SS front I really love a lot.

Right on.

The fact that I think the car is attractive, aggressive in the front, combine with the sweet new interior and features, and the fantastic chassis and drivetrain, this car is homerun as a package.

I can't wait to start seeing people mod the car, and what the hi-po models could look like. Take a look at this for instance......WOWZERS!! I will certainly be modding mine over time to make it a bit more aggressive
