I speculate, that YOU and others are fully missing the point. I don't know how much more clear I can be on this topic.
I have no issue with changing looks.
Mustangs, Challengers, Firebirds, etc. all have had radical facelifts. We have our favorites and least favorites.
But here's the difference. Mustangs didn't have a big break in production, whereas the Camaro did and it was billed as being a "throwback" to the originals. In that, it failed badly IMO. The Transformer marketing campaign was also painful.
The "new" generations are soulless, and as I and others have plainly demonstrated, they look more like Asian rice-burners or worse, family sedans, than anything that should be called a Detroit muscle car. There's nothing Camaro, looking in these new gens. They look like sporty Civics.
