4th Gens were aggressive looking?! You have to combine attractive and pissed off looks together to make a Camaro, like 3rd's did. A mix of angular and a few rounded lines make a musclecar. I think 1st's and 2nd's also accomplished this to an extent. But 4th's, I don't know what happened and I don't wanna either.

I personally think the 4th Gens look great, and aggressive, but what do I know.

Right after they axed Fisher Body as a matter of fact.
The multi-colored orange seats with the Camaro script have to qualify for some kind of medal as the ugliest seats ever.
Interior looks is opinion, (I didn't like that over the top seat/door panel option either, it was only an option for a year or 2) but the early-mid 3rd Gen Base cars were terrible looking and I hope that type of mistake isn't made again....lousy looking base models and great looking top models. They can be base cars and still look unique and nice. Every Gen has it's noticably unattractive model due to the levels offered, but most don't pay attention to them because the focus is always the top cars. Some people can't pay for the top cars, it seems that they learned this with the RS with the 3rds. Even though RS's were easliy distinguishable from the top cars, especially early on, I still would have liked them to be more unique.

You want a boring, bland, unnattractive car, almost all Honda's Toyotas and Buicks look so bland.
As far as the Camaro front clip looking like the Chyrsler Concorde, it does a little. Although almost nobody notices "Hey, his Camaro looks like a Concorde." Its because the rest of the car doesn't look anything like it.
The 4th Gen F-body is very unique looking. Just tell me another car that looks anything remotely similar to it.

I hear the Chrysler thing all the time, I hear lots of 4th styling critisizms. When they go by on the street, car shows, cruise nights, everything. They look just like them with 2 doors. They really should have kept the LT1 somewhat IROC-Z looking front bumper or restlyed it in the LS1 cars' slightly keeping the general look and recessed black headlight pockets with a smaller grill. The LT1 owners I know always say they have the better looking cars and the LS1 owners always note that they have the faster cars.
*Doh*

Best angle on the 4th gens? An SS from the rear (the beefy 275's and nice, simple exhaust - with 315's on the back they look even meaner) or a WS6 from the front (face it, the nostrils look truly evil).
Very easy. Especially at night. Even Guion admitted it LOL!
I always found 4ths oddly proportioned and outer space looking, but that and the Chrysler cues don't make them very aggressive. I agree with the LS1 TA's looking better, but way overdone at the same time.

My parents both refer to WS6's as "Those obscene cars with holes in them..."
However, while shopping with my father for my '98, (I was looking at both F-bodies) he started calling them "Those obscenely fast cars with holes in them."

As for 3rd Gens, they are wide, low and longer, better proportioned...but it wasn't until the IROC's hit the scene, that the interiors and exteriors gained some "class" and combined with the 16" wheels etc, looked pretty mean!
I personally thought the 2000+ 4th Gens were as mean as the 4th Gens got..
