Why the h*ll can't the retro crowd just say, "Hey, that's your opinion, thanks, " instead of getting bent all out of shape or asking if we've seen it in person?

First, why the h*ll can't the people who like the car have THEIR opinion without seeing people post insulting statements about it?

Second, MOST people are not part of a "retro crowd" and after MOST people see it in person, they agree the car is not retro. That's just stating facts.

Going back to the first, people who actually like the car don't care to hear someone else's negative opinion when it is constructed like "that car looks like ***!!" or "I won't be caught dead driving that ugly POS". There is no class in that. It is plain insulting and not even necessary and getting "bent all out of shape" should be expected as a result.

If people don't like it, why do they feel the need to be rude about it? I don't see that very often from the people who like the car.

Honestly... I love Camaros, my favorite cars.

But the new one looks like ****, its big, it's ugly, frikking huge rims, no t tops, doesn't even look all that retro, just looks retarded.

I like what they did with the new Vette's, they are sleek, modern, etc., they like downgraded the Camaro..

I do kinda like the new mustangs though, nothing great but better than the camaro.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but you're definitely in the minority as far as the new Camaro.

By all means, feel free to buy a new Mustang or C6 Vette (...if you can afford it).

You do know that the Camaro concept is almost a foot shorter than your 2002 Camaro, right?

I very seriously doubt that what hits the showroom floor will be any shorter than 5" taller than a 2002. Today's crop of "stylists" has absolutely no idea how to draw anything graceful or shorter than about 56" -57" tall (the S197 Mustang is better, if only barely, at 54.5"). There's simply too much truck influence and "in your face" belligerence about everything with those guys any more.

OK. GM specifically calls the new camaro a "retro" of the 69. That is it and all. Why the hell are people having a seizure over this????? I agree with a the previous replay on the definition of "retro." In fact, everything is retro. But it is modern also. The first year out will make or break the camaro; mods will come in the future. I seriously cannot believe that the camaro will be forever; however, it is cool that GM gives us a real chance to own another classic in the making--one with a modern kick-*** engine to match. This will be a fun car---can't wait to mod it.

It is? Where can I find these facts. I have seen the car twice now, both the coupe and the convertible, and it still looks pretty retro to me. The car also looks a lot fatter in person.
