Default Re: Retro Camaro future??

Anyone see the interview in MCE with retired GM stylist Ron Hill? Near the end of the interview, they brought up the fact that Ford is going HARD after the retro segment, and being successful, and they inquired what his thoughts were. Mr. Hill said that he felt it was a mistake on Ford's part, and that he not only agrees with GM's current anti-retro approach but "applauds" it. He felt that Ford's retro cars apply only to a niche market, and that there is no way to follow them up once they've run their course.

Well, I disagree with Mr. Hill...while it might be a niche market, it's a fair sized and growing niche, and GM is losing it's @ss in that department...my thinking is that those niche cars drive the sales of it's more *mundane* cars. But what do I know...
