My 2 cents on the new Camaro...gotta say it

[Jeff H]

While I like the look of the 67-69 Camaro, I really don't need a new Camaro to look like an old one. Like I posted in the other thread, if I want a 69 Camaro, I can go out and buy a 69 Camaro. I didn't like the 3rd gen Camaro but it grew on me. Same thing for the 4th gen. A new car isn't as much about the appearance as it is about what's under the skin and how it runs/drives/performs/handles. I think the new platform has a ton of potential and being a 2 door rear wheel drive V8 pony car is all that really matters. Sure, it needs some tweaks here and there to give it a better appearance and identity. But I'd rather see a new style than a retro thing. The Mustang looks good and the Challenger looks great, but that's from the point of view of cars guys and majority of the buyers will not be like us. But it will really come down to pricing regardless of what it looks like. I sure hope they can keep it in the $30K or under range. Anything higher than that and you lose a lot of potential buyers. If that Challenger comes out at $40K, there won't be a lot of people lined up to buy it because there aren't a lot of people with that kind of money for a 2 door sports car. I think by the time the new Camaro is ready to be released it will have much more of an identity. And if all the mechanicals under the skin are better than the 4th gen, then it will be one heck of a fun car!
