The Mustang guys do the same thing to their beloved pony car, so we aren't any better! I'm sure the design engineers that work for GM and Ford really don't care what the TRUE fans think, because they know whatever they come up with it's going to be met with vicious criticism! I'm sure GM isn't losing any sleep over the new refresh, it will sell very good.
Well, to be fair, the 2018 Mustang is quite possibly the ugliest version they've ever released. I just don't know what's going on with these front ends anymore...

Difference is, the Mustang is selling. Not sure if this one will sell

I actually like the rear lights, but this front end is way better

I've seen a lot of strong emotions and insults and he is one of the most intense. So yes, because I think the answer is no

If you don't like the refresh, well then AZ isn't clumping you into "we all", Al O. is.
There is a huge distance between "no one" and "haters". And nowhere did Al put those two together in his response. Plus we dont know what the orginal message was that he was responding to. So lets not jump to assumptions as to what Al thought or why he said what he said as we are missing a big piece of the puzzle here.

But he is right. A good example is that a majority didnt like the 6 gen rear lights (per the poll) and now everybody seems to love them. Folks hated Lexus new grille but the sales are up sharply. New Camry looks real "out there" but is beating the crap out of Accord. Etc. Thats how change often works in mass market. It is never done thru any type of consensus albeit i am sure theyve done their research. Peace.

To be fair, the mustang is selling because it's cheaper and they have more of them on the lots. At least here in Canada, you go to any Ford dealer, they will have a row of Mustangs, go to any Chevrolet Dealers and they might have between 0-3 Camaros at most locations

Mustang is not selling. Their sales have been sliding by about 20% pa since 2015. This year seems no better and is lower than last year. Hence perhaps a sign that the recent refresh tanked.

Isn't this more of a sign that pony car / sports car sales are declining as a segment? That leaves Mustang and Camaro slugging it out for what's left in the mid-sports car segment. Corvette would be in the premium sports car segment.

I was responding to someone who was saying the reason why the Camaro isn't taking off in sales is due to lack of GM sponsored pricing help.

But good job bringing an irrelevant point into the mix.

I agree, that photoshopping is awesome. Pretty much the best one I've seen yet and exactly what the refresh should have looked like. I too like the taillights. Too bad this isn't what Camaro is getting.

Sad to see Al O dismiss concerned enthusiasts as "haters".

Guaranteed now that they will make no changes to the car before release.

Might be something some body colored wrap could solve with the front bumper.
