I agree with the "fat Cadillac" reference. Who really thinks this mirrors the 67-69 enough to call it a retro?
You would think that GM would recognize that if a POS 69 Camaro that will crank and run will bring 10 grand, they don't have to fret about how many they could sell if they emulated that car as close to the original as Ford did with the T-bird.
Maybe the brainchild behind this version is the son of the guy that came up with the Cadillac Cimarron!

I concede styling is always subjective but have you seen it yet in person? And I think in reading interviews Chevy does not intend for this new car to be "retro" I recall they specifically said they wanted to pay homage to the old car without doing a knock off of the old one like the Challenger and Mustang are.

It's no secret that Cadillac engineers did design the new Camaro.

The new Camaro is not the retro version that they had designed.
