Now that we've seen several variations on what is suspected to become the next Camaro, of those of you that feel it is too RETRO, what age group do you fall into?

PLEASE... only vote if you think the proposed car is TOO RETRO.

If you feel the car is more evolutionary than retro DO NOT VOTE! You are welcomed to comment though.

I think you should have added an option for those who don't think it looks retro, lol.

This poll is kind of biased, since most of the members of this site fall into a particular age group...

Thats what I was thinking.

By the way, i'm 23 and think the drawings look kind of retro, but it doesn't bother me.

Ok, I dont get this...
They said that the camaro was not going to be retro, but the pictures that were shown were very retro right? Ill go with the post made that said that the next Camaro will NOT be retro.

Now what if you like Retro, but think that it would lead to another death of the Camaro?
I dont know what the purposed Camaro looks like. If the purposed car is NOT retro, and just the pictures are, then .... i just went crosseyed.... I dont know anymore.

The point of this survey is to determine if age group has any bearing on whether one considers a car's styling is "retro".

I am 32.

I think the drawings of what people think the Camaro will look like is retro.

I havent seen the actual car, however, so I can't comment on it.

We are talking about this picture and its variations right?

http://www.wyattcon.net/images/F5Camaro.jpg

I voted in the 21+ age group because I’ll be 21 in just a few months.

I see some retro flair in the drawings. I know it doesn’t look evolutionary. At least what I would call evolutionary. I don’t dislike it. I’d buy that car if it was released as the next Camaro. I think it’s a fine line between heritage cues and retro.

I still say it needs to look more like this:

ok i know it's kinda in the wrong thread but i just made this and wasn't gonna go through all 10+ pages in the looks thread.

started with this


came out with this


hope it's good enough.

also, i think the design is more on the quasi-retro side, but not exactly evolutionary.
