I can't handle the air intake location. I am assuming that the base cars will not have that but it would have been better if they put it in the hood. Either that or hide it underneath the grill where you could actually increase airflow.

It was a toss up between the:

-sleek looking, but tiny mirrors (which look as if they won't help you see anything)

-the headlights (I understand the "quasi-retro" thing but I would like quads instead of just two, to matchup with the 4 taillights...and more noticeable blinkers in front)

-or the average looking grill with the gold bowtie.

But I chose the grill. I'd like to see a slightly more intricate pattern/design. One that would allow for badges (RS, SS, Z/28). Or at least a body colored bowtie so it doesn't remind me of the chevy trucks. Having the good ole red/white/blue Camaro logo on the front integrated somehow wouldn't be a bad thing either...

Where's the "I love everything about it" option?

I really do.

Too bad "No T-Tops" isn't an option...

Same here. Although if you held a gun to my head and said, "pick one!" I'd have to go with the mirrors.

I don't care for the mirrors, but from what I hear, those won't be on the production version anyhow.

I choose the fact that everybody will have one. It's going to be the new Mustang. They'll be allllll over and tons of V6s will be floating around.

But it's a double-edged sword. They need to sell to keep going. So whatever.

I chose beltline. Loooks it chunky...bigger windows would help. I like the convertible better then the coupe.

Grille still for me, mirrors a close second, gas filler location 3rd..

Grille should have should have a more "futuristic" take on the heritage look...big square blocks, to me, says, cheap! and retro!, add the gold bowtie and it says '70's truck...

Mirrors just don't appear functional...too small, just enlarge.

Gas cap...scratches as spills will quickly make this very unpopular, and it looks too "Dodge-y".

I only chose Mirrors because there isn't anything I don't like really.

And the mirrors obvioiusly have to be enlarged anyway.
