the new camaro still does nothing for me . once again i think chevrolet dropped the ball . while DODGE & FORD went with the COOL retro look on the CHALLENGER & MUSTANG , friggn chevy goes  space camp . the new CAMARO is beyond stupid looking the grill makes it look like its stoned out of its mind .  the same goes for chevys design team it looks like a bigger version of the ugly a$$ corvette .

they would have done alot better if they went with a retro style of the 67-69 camaro . justt my  :Twocents:

I'm sure it's a very ergo ride inside but I do wish GM would rethink their steering wheel/wiper/signal controls/etc...  I could be blindfolded and would know I was in a GM ride.  Always reminds me of those big calculators that older folk use so they can see the numbers.  BIG BIG BIG.  I think they were just a little off on the cluster but understand what they were going for. :scratchchin:

Looks really nice on the outside though.  I do appreciate the fact that they made an attempt to please the Chebbie crowd.  :2thumbs:

Very interested in the write up. :popcrn:

Mike, how do you fit comfort wise in there?

Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

While that certainly isn't the most attractive motor, it's nice to see they didn't put a big useless engine cover on it.

Im interested in what Mike has to say about it.  :yesnod:

I like the outside and thought they did a nice job with it. But that dashboard is just NASTY and stupid.  :RantExplode: :hah: :slap: What the hell were they thinking?  :rotz:

Oh well, Wasn't planning on buying a chevy anyhow.

Mike,
I look forward to your review and how you compare it to the Challenger you tested 3 or 4 weeks ago!
Thanks!

I love it, I think they look much better than the Challenger, the Challengers front looks to me as if it is frowning.
