Automotive News, Media & Press - Broad appeal of the new Camaro concept (BMW M5 owner loves it)

The post is mostly about how he doesn't like the new E60 M5 shown at the L.A. auto show in a brown exterior color.

I saw it there and thought it was ugly when compared to the three previous subtle BMW M5s.

Read the last lines though.

How does owning an E39 M5 make your opinion worth more than the opinions of everyone else? So what if he thinks the Camaro is cool. There are tons of folks who thought it was a great looking concept. I don't need the approval of an E39 M5 owner in order to think the concept was a show stopper. Honestly... who gives a shit what he thinks? Him owning a nicer car than you and expressing how cool he thinks the Camaro is doesn't make it a better car... does it?

I don't mean to be a dick but it's annoying when people think that certain opinions are worth more than others based on how much money is parked in the garage. :eyes:

i think waht he was trying to say was that the new camaros looks cought the eye of even the most dedicated euro car guy. which is a big boost for the camaro.

Look at how that guy spelt Camaro :eyes: .... when are people going to learn there is no E. :bang:

what hes saying is if the guy owns an M5 its assumed he has somewhat good taste in cars..

Would you feel better if I, a 4th gen Camaro owner, said the Camaro concept looked like a clunky, unproportioned, bastardization of Cadillac design? :)

I completely agree. :)

I didn't say that.

As for a Cadillac design...which Cadillac resembles the new Camaro concept?

The XLR?
