I voted Its OK

I like the concept alot better (along ith everybody else)
There are just some things with the production model that just arnt right. I'm ok with the reto for now, but I'm sure I'll get sick of it in a little while. (along with the rest of the general public)

I think they should have stuck more w/ the looks of the prototype that they first brought out. That styling is wicked sweet. I do not like the dash or interior too much though.

Agreed. I voted "dissapointed."

I think he meant the concept.

I like the 05 from the pics i've seen. I think i'll like it even more in person.

Like everyone else, i too liked the concept more.

I can't stand it. They retroed it to death and I was hoping for much more.

Thumbs up

I like it a lot.

The 60's and 70's muscle cars were some of the best styled cars ever made. Sometimes retro is good.

Damn straight. Good taste went out the window with the '70s and it never came back.

Sometimes you just gotta reach back to classic shapes with modern touches.

I voted ok. As long as it doesn't turn out like the new thunderbird did I will be happy with it. Now if GM would only produce a 69 Camaro with a 6 speed and an LS6, that would be awesome.

I agree.Ivoted it's ok althought at the same time I'm dissappointed that the didn't keep it closer to the concept car

Today's cars are so generic with their looks that it's pathetic. it doesn't seem that the domestic car designers aren't even trying to be different/unique anymore just crank out SUVs and a few bland cars,but there are exceptions.In my opinion it's like seeing the hobby of finding unique cars(like cars from the 30's-early 90's cars) to restore is slowly going away,makes me sad.
