eh

the chevy camaro is coming back...it looks pretty hott.

CicioSTi · 01-10-2006, 06:45 PM

that looks pretty cool, its so funny how all the styling is going back to the 60's and 70's, and everyone LOVES it. Seems odd to me, but its cool

NJSTi05 · 01-10-2006, 06:53 PM

i think that thing is going to be a beast.....sure looks like it.

Pitcherman · 01-10-2006, 06:59 PM

Meh......nice looking, just not for me.

I like it a lot. Definately not as much as my STi, but I like it.

fourseasonsandles · 01-11-2006, 04:26 AM

I like the looks of it, much better than the charger

dagodplaya · 01-11-2006, 04:36 AM

To me it shows lack of creativity. Granted the cars look pretty good, but I would think that after 30-40 years they could come up with something original.

now that looks nice...anyone thinking of trading the STi in for this or the new camaro

Wait till someone makes a blower kit for it. I think I remember seeing one for the Chrysler 300 already. Fun things can happen when you force-feed 6.1 liters...of course, that all depends on if you can put it to the ground...

As a work of art that looks more like a Classic Cuda (which I LOVE), it looks great, but as a car to drive? No thanks. I'm a Sports-Car guy, not a Muscle-Car guy.

I think that retro styling is a pretty smart move. Now you get the chance to buy a vehicle new that you like the styling of, but couldn't get it before for whatever reasons (lack of money, nonavailability; in this case- I wasn't even born yet). I wouldn't trade my STi for it though, but in a perfect world I might have both plus the 06 Mustang, S2000, Skyline, etc etc etc. I love the look of the R34 Skyline (absolute best looking car to me), but since it was never offered here and I don't have the money for it anyways, I hope that some day in the future Nissan decides to retro style the Skyline in R34 fashion. Hopefully I will have money to buy it and it will be offered in the US. The R35 right now looks alright, but I love the face of the R34- square, flat, and in your face. The rest of the body just compliments it even more.

wow that's TOO retro.

lol hilarious way to tighten the turn radius

I'm over the whole retro thing. It seems like collective desperate attempt for the "big 3" to compete with the Japanese. Besides, how the hell do you follow-up a retro styled vehicle? With another retro style? It's already retro. The new Mustang for instance; it's retro right now and is selling well. But what about the next generation one? A retro of the 70's Mustang (yuck)?
