Well, If this is really the direction they're going, they are making a huge mistake.
The whole muscle car resurgence is based on making updated versions of real American muscle cars, an in reality has far surpassed ANY of the nay-Sayers expectations.
They are diverging again from the soul of the Mustang and losing sight of the roots of the mustang's success.
I'll be PISSED if Chevy plays into this BS and ruins the Camaro.
Don't get me wrong, the Proto-Mistake is sleek and if they stuck another name on it, would be a pretty cool car. But it's not a Mustang. In fact, it's hard to overlook the obvious styling rip offs from our Camaros.

I think it looks good, but I don't understand all the people that hate change. I see change as a good thing, it keeps life interesting, embrace it.

Change to improve the product is good....change to satisfy some corporate Pareto chart that says Americans get bored in 2 seconds is not a good thing.

If the rendering in the link is close, Im in love. It still has the things that say mustang on it, coupe, long hood, short deck lid. Basically to me looks the 13 Mustang, with a more aerodynamic looking front end and more aggressive fenders

If this is what the new Mustang will look like then Camaro sales will Soar!!...
1. Wrong forum
2. Lets wait and see what Chevrolet does with the 2015-16 Camaro first before you jump the gun.
3. Having a new refreshed model isn't always a bad thing, it will be the NEW thing when it releases and that typically means sales.

Disagree. If that is what it looks like, it will sell. IMO, the "retro" theme is starting to wear out.
