Default Re: ++2009 CAMARO VIDEO ++


I can tell you what it is, it's too damn thick. I think most would agree that there needs to be more of a tapered look to the front and rear facias. The '69 Camaro and '70, '71 Challengers are just simply beautiful in their body lines. They both have that tapered front and rear appearances.
Even though the Mustang does have a somewhat appealing look to it. If you compare it to a '67 or '68 Shelby front end, they are also to damn thick. That's what the stylists just don't get.

One of the reasons new cars are "think" or high-nosed is regulations from governments to minimize injuries on pedestrians. There are a lot of regulations that decides how car have to look. The lownosed 4th gen Camaros was killed because of such regulations (among other things)
