my thoughts...for those of us just too young to appreciate the first wave of high horse power muscle 1964-74, I have had an ear to ear grin in the recent 400-505hp offerings from the factories...European, but first and foremost the U.S. The table is set for the automakers to walk us to the bank and or home equity accounts and ask us for our very last dollar in return for the biggest-baddest best all around cars in history!

I love the idea of the Camaro and what it could evolve into if the power brokers/ bean counters actually listen to their customers.

I love most of the design but I feel they should have had stronger cues to the original 69 Camaro DNA. To me, the front end appears a touch too edgy. The worst part about the front end is that it reminds me of a cross between the Caddy and one of those smiley Chevron cartoon cars...I have a hard time airing my true feelings in such a public forum but if I'm not the only one that doesnt like it we need to be heard.

My first love is a Chevy but the Mopar/Challenger offering has a strong link to their 70's heritage and it has my attention. I can only imagine a long option sheet to please the bean counters and public alike. Does anyone truly doubt that a bigger badder Shaker hood monster is far behind?

I can only hope G.M. has the guts to build cars to pull some of us back into their camp. I love the new Z-06 but it's out of reach for most of us, I feel a Camaro would be a start in filling the price point gap....let the games begin.
