count me in!
This is shaping up to be the best showing by the American car companies (I'll include Mopar) since... well, since I can remember! (And I remember the Ford Apollo, Dodge Charger III ...eh, let's not go there!)

I guess that would be like saying if you love the Mustang you'll love the Camaro 
I like the Interceptor... same market and style of the 300, but better looking
(of course looks are subjective)
Update a couple of things to be more production like, and I think it'd be a hit

Needs a much taller greenhouse. Geez, what is with cars these days? Do they want it to feel like you are sitting in a cave? Not everyone is 5'8" tall or less.
Other than that, though, it looks way cooler than the 300 overall (though I didn't see the pic of the front clip).
But it takes the super high beltline / too short greenhouse that is an LX trademark and goes one or two levels farther.
For the record, this was one of my few beefs with the Camaro concept, too. This sort of thing (the "chopped") look is fine and dandy for making a concept car look racy and fresh, but one hopes that the proportions would shift slightly in a production version.
Ever seen the video of Wagoner driving the Camaro concept at Woodward? Granted, he's a tall fellow (~6'5" or 6'6", I think), but beyond the lack of headroom, you could just tell how squashed things were when he tried to rest his elbow on the window sill. Too many cars have this problem these days (both import and domestic)...

I think it looks good, but what is it with Ford and the "Cammer"? The thing costs as much as an LS7 but with less power! Whatever happened to Ford's 6.2L V8? They dropped it, but I thought they picked it back up. Give it the power to boot and I'd take it over an SRT8, especially if it has a T-56.
