To understand my response, it is probably crucial to understand that I do not feel that the Camaro concept is retro.

My message was intended for the original poster who fears there is no way to progress from the concept. I was saying look at the possible Italian styling of the next Stang redesign -- it was based off of their current retro model, and they were able to move forward without going down the same path as before and improved on their current model (IMO)....

Because of this, I feel that the next Camaro redesign surely wouldn't go down the same path as before, especially because the concept itself isn't retro. (I didn't have any worries before...but just wanted to share my thoughts with those that do worry)

Once again, this was intended for the initial poster, who feared there is no way to move forward since in his opinion the concept is retro -- but Ford IMO DID move forward on the Mustang redesign, so we should have no worries at all.

I don't know how to try to explain myself any clearer - maybe someone else can say it better. Sorry for the confusion.

Im glad they built that thing because it reenforces that Retro is not a pigeon hole. Till now the only example Ive had is if Camaro had been retro 69 the next redesign could have been the concept and not a 70's style car. I also hope that the Dodge boys dont bring Challenger back on a limited basis because they feel they have nowhere to go with design. Especially when BOTH of their muscle car competitors solved the problem with the Camaro Concept and the Mustang Guirado Concept. A problem I never saw as a problem to begin with.

I don't know how to explain myself further without being repetitive - sorry I'm so unclear in my posts!
