The retro Camaros, Mustangs and Challengers all have the same thing in common: they only sort of look like the cars of the past. The Challenger being slightly less of a caricature than the other two. Camaro and Mustang are now currently full-blown cartoon.So obviously, if you're a GM design engineer, you'd garner all that emotional throwback and put together models that aesthetically throw back to those, right? Rrriiggghhttt??? No. Instead, you do a cash grab and use the name with nothing that remotely reminds anyone of a Camaro or Firebird. It was an absolute mistake and I just cannot understand why GM execs are so dumb and seem to have no idea what consumers want sometimes.
The 2005-2010 or so Mustang did a possibly the best job inside and outside of capturing the 68 era IMO. The Challenger also did a strong job of capturing the retro look. The Camaro and Charger were a total fail at capturing the looks. How can a Charger have 4 doors and not look anything like a classic? I'll never understand.The retro Camaros, Mustangs and Challengers all have the same thing in common: they only sort of look like the cars of the past.

I'm not sure the new ('06+?) Chargers were ever meant to be retro..... They sure didn't look at all like any of the classics.How can a Charger have 4 doors and not look anything like a classic? I'll never understand.
With Ford announcing EV losses, I just do not see EV as a realistic option for the near future. I think these car companies are run by idiots who have no idea what the consumer actually wants. The public wants retro looking cars, and only 2 managed to make them, with Dodge killing the cash-cow printing press Challenger this year. They are all looking to make EVs which are not widely desired by the public. Rather than fixing the Camaro, GM is killing it. It's just crazy.it'll probably come back as an electric once they get the kinks out, OK, maybe that will be never.
The only “GM” product my wife likes. Lol.Waiting for the return of the Trans Am.....lol
At first … another body to put on the 300 chassis … Then came the more radical versions …I'm not sure the new ('06+?) Chargers were ever meant to be retro..... They sure didn't look at all like any of the classics.
I remember a few years later, when they released the retro Challenger, thinking to myself that THAT's what they should have done with the new Charger!
What are girls named Debbie and Donna going to drive now!?
Trans-everything!Waiting for the return of the Trans Am.....lol
Probably but I can taste the vomit.Bet it comes back as an electric SUV.
The Corvette Camaro E/28
SUVs and trucks are GM’s bread and butter, with the Corvette being an aspirational car - it’s the Harley of cars. Ford’s bread and butter are also trucks and SUVs. However, Ford and FCA are better at bringing retro back - but the Bronco is an SUV, the Maverick is reborn as an truck(and not the red-headed sister to the Mustang of the 1970s) and the Wagoneer is back as a more luxurious Jeep.The public wants retro looking cars, and only 2 managed to make them, with Dodge killing the cash-cow printing press Challenger this year.

It will be some ugly electric CUV.Said goodbye a long time ago LOL
Oh god don't do it! I bought a limited Anniversary 2002 1LE brand new factory ordered, paid like $37k. I had to sell it back in 2013 after they brought it back. 9/10 condition, 18k miles on it. Sold it for $17k and there weren't a lot of interested folks. Sure if I still had it now I would almost break even if you ignored inflation. Collector's Edition my a$$.
They will bring the Camaro back, just have to wait to build up the demand again. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that.
