challenger is much more appealing to me... the interior of the concept camaro is hideous... like they spent 5 mins designing it jsut to get it ready for the autoshow... the rest of the car is sleek looking but doesn't do much more me... I was hoping for a new design not a retro design (then again.. GM think for themselves? what was I expecting!)

the style of the 60's camaro's is classic, and imo the best they made...I think retro styling, and modern technology is a perfect combo. And as for the retro thing not needing to be done again, i disagree. I am not a mustang driver, so why would I care if they went retro? the retro fbody is the car I wanted and hopefuly they make it.

Right now, I think the Challenger looks better. But with a revised front end, I could VERY easily be persuaded to buy the Camaro over the Challenger.
I will say this, that car is a HUGE step forward for GM. And the LSX series of engines are awesome, especially the LS2/7. That Camaro looks way better than anything else they offer right now. Props to GM for finally seeing the light, guess it took the new stang to shine it right in their eyes before they saw it though.

I'm a little disappointed that it's retro styled, but it's not bad as is, if GM will tweek some details (hidden headlights, and the interior), and stop the dealers from raping buyers with the mark up, I'd probably seriously consider it, but I would drive both the Camaro and Challenger, and see what one I liked best
Still wanting a 5th gen bird tho

Assuming that it looks mostly like the concept. 
My dad is dead set on the '09 Challenger, and Im right behind him (in supporting his decision). IMO, the Challenger looks a lot better, but the Camaro still looks great, but Im not big for the whole 'boxy chisled' look.

theyve got a good idea. so im voting yes, lets just see what changes they make to it before production. the ford stang looked worse than it does in production as a concept. id wish they go with a couple more lines and not make it look so challenger like but it is damn good looking. id take one. hey, thatll be 1 year after im out of school...this could be convenient...
