    neither.. both look like shit.

    They belong in the past and should stay there.


    No innovation. No styling. NO nothing. Just a rehashed body with an engine. I am getting sick and tired of all these "retro's"

    Retro... Retro.. We are going on 2007 !! If I wanted to see a "retro" body style I would go to a friggin museum.

    No wonder the Japanese and Germans are gaining ground.

    And yet we wonder "why aren't US automakers doing well?"




    PS. but the Camaro is the one that looks better.
    I got free clear tails with my ride.....

    Yea prob. by the same people that trade in their 1996 Mustang for the new body style.

    You actually telling me people with VW's GTI's, BMW 3's, STI's, Evo's etc are trading them in for Mustang GT's?

    Just take a look at their used car lots. It is basically one big recycling bin.



    Look, don't get me wrong or thing I am anti-US cars etc. I actually DIG the 300C and would even own one. I dig the Soltice. Heck. I would even dig a G6.

    But they do NOT look like they did 50 years ago. They have fresh styling. Unique. They offer something to attract buyers. SOmething they could compare to a Japanese or Euro counterpart, like Soltice Vs. Miata. or 300C vs. Camry's Avalons.

    I say enough is enough. Show some creativity, and design something nice. Even the last Camaro (before they went down) was unique. fresh. Why? They took an old concept and "improved" on it. I actually knew 3 friends that bought one. A V6, the Z28 AND a Teal T Top. I have yet to know someone who owns a charger or magnum. I actually wished they were not so focused on performance and dedicate a bit more time on innovation and style. It's like a movie. No matter how many remakes. The original is still better. You can add dolby 5.1, DTS and digital processing. But it can't match the "soul" of the classic. If I had a choice between a new "remade" charger or the original, I would take the original.
