If you see them all lined up side by side.... the 5th gen looks like it would have been a third. The third and fourth gens look like more modren cars. Better looking to IMO.
I gave it a 9 because I think they did a really well with the 5th Gen. It doesn't have the wide mouth bass look the 4th Gen Camaro had, so it's a winner in looks to me.

Im not liking the new camaro that much. Ill be getting out of the army about a year after the camaro comes out and im planning on picking up a new challenger.
Hell I still cant find a better looking car than the TA. Im excited for the camaro and glad the gm muscle cars are making a come back. chuckles.. im so sick of the gay charger and all the magnum bs. gh talk about blah.. gto!
I really hope it doesn't turn out to be like the GTO's, no offense to anyone that owns one but there overweight and not fast enough for there power. Now drop the weight to 3600 and keep the 400HP minimum and it should be pretty good. Also make it a solid rear axle. Oh and give people the ability to completely turn off TCS ASR and anything else to do with traction so they can have fun when they want.

Dude again with the weight thing....who cares if you want to decrease the weight go strip the interior and ride around in a piece of crap. I will gladdly take the extra weight to have a bit more comfortable ride around town or on long trips. I don't understand why people bitch about the small things like guages, wheels, etc, sh** most everyone on this site changes out the wheels and everything else on the car so who cares what it comes like stock. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these cars when they come out.
I gave it a 10. I love retro. Its going back to its roots. Cars that stray from its name's root, like the Charger (now 4-door sedan), get no love from me. It pulls the retro cue off without being, no-balled cookie cutter styling of the mustang and chally. The sharp lines and perfect blend of the newest and the old is great. Plus after seeing the new transformers movie; the car in motion is eye candy. I hope this thing comes in bumblebee colors or electron blue.
You hit the nail on the head. My sentiments exactly.
Weight alone doesn't mean shit to me. I could care less. It's about weight vs power. I don't care if the car weighs 5,000lbs, so long as they give it 700hp.
Granted, that's an extreme, but if the car weighs 3800lbs, and they give it 425-450hp, that's fine by me for a stock car. You can always strip weight or add more power.
I would never use weight as a deciding factor in whether I would buy a car or not.

Thanks for that. I was having a weight debate in another thread. I think you expressed what I am thinking very well. MOst people buy cars as TRANSPORTATION..... not as race cars. And GM will sell more of the lower power V8 or V6(if one is avabile) due to insurance and ga$.
It's clear that some of you have not seen the car in person yet.
It may appear big, because of the height of the belt line.
It is actually 7 inches shorter than a 4th gen.
Very sharp point on the nose?
Hardly, it's not any sharper of a point than the 1st Gen.
And yes, obviously the 21 and 22-inch wheels won't be on the production car.
Weight will be probably slightly higher than the 4th Gen.
...we discussed all the details on weight in the other thread.
If America isn't buying sporty cars, then how did 166,000 Mustangs sell in 2006?
+1+1+1
i LOVE the way this car looks ... didnt like it too much at first then saw it at the philly auto show and was blown away .. then saw transformers (hands down all time fav movie) last night and am more anxious than ever for this BEAUTY to ccome on out

this thread is funny. this is exactly what happened for the c6 corvette. people either liked it or hated it. but now most people love it. even the guy that did the headlights for the c6 got threatened by a corvette owner!
its a new design and it will grow on you. people need to accept change and that car has it.
and my god, i cant believe people would want the challenger over the camaro! that car looks like it would be driven by the marshmallow man.
looks too puffy and almost every panel is the same from the 70's challenger! yuck! thats retro!
It definitely has some Cadillac lines in there.....
Take a comparison look with the CIEN....The C6 also seems to borrow a few lines from the CIEN concept.
Who cares if it borrows a little from cadillac... Caddys looks awesome now days! And besides the car doesn't look completely retro and it also looks nothing like anything else rolling around on the roads! 10 for me!

Lets see some atvantages of less weight
1. Higher MPG
2. Lower emissions
3. Better handling
4. Faster
A heavier car is going to have to have a smaller engine to keep the MPG up and emmisions down. Which I don't really care about but I am sure the gov does.
As for handling and being faster, well its a sports/musle car if you don't want that then why do you want this type of car? just for looks? as far as wheels and gauges. I don't think the wheel choice or gauges are going to make the difference as far as weight goes.
