As much as I respect your right to your opinion, I think that is the first time I have heard that.

Well, after seeing the Challenger concept, I was very worried. After seeing this, my hopes are back up again. Can't wait until January.

My only words to GM, don't f*** this up. You could have a breakout hit on your hands that might get the non-new-buying car people (me) off our collective asses and come into a showroom. Or I'll be looking for a used 2002 Formula in 2009... how sad would that be.

I too like the clean 67-68 Camaros too but if you really look at the 67-68 vs. the 69, I think the 69 has just a little heavier flavoring of toughness with a more "chisseled" look. I guess the more aggressive and modern designed front grill just make it that much tougher. I also think the side "spears" -not sure what what you would call em exactly - help give the Camaro that "looks fast standing still" look. I like the 67-68s a lot too - probably just as much as the 69s. I just thought I give my 2 cents on why I think the 69 would probably make a better them for the new one with it's more agressive modern styling cues. Plus the Mustang already has fender lips that might be too similar to doing that on a new Camaro. The modernized 1969 spears really separate it more from the new Mustang too. That's another reason for the 1969 inspiration.

To be perfectly honest with you, Horton's really doesn't do anything for me either. I was never into it and as time has gone on my opinion of it has only gotten more critical. This isn't to say he isn't talented, but I've seen a ton of designs that I like alot more than his...I really don't like the flat front look...I'd rather see something with a more LT1 4th gen approach.

I agree, Johnny. The '69's changes make it look so "right". They look way, way better to me than the '67-'68 models which sort of look as if they are missing something...

When I say that, I mean "Kris Horton's designs are so retro that I don't want them. This new one this guy made looks like a current car, rather than a recreation '69 Camaro like Baldwin Motion and Chip Foose are doing now."

I have nothing against Kris, I just don't like retro that much. I mean...How would you like to drive a VW Bug that looks nearly exactly like a 1950's one, ya know? I want a Camaro that looks like it isn't 40 years old with plastic surgery.

He has amazing skills at making models, but I just don't dig the stuff I've already seen before.

This new design this guy made looks tough as nails and fresh. And for the first time, I'll admit... I really don't mind it not looking like a 4th gen.
