Re: Hey, our camaros are being made again.

That can't really be what it's going to look like!
Looks straight out of the 90s.
Right now the only thing Chrysler dodge have going for them are great retro body designs.
That thing is just 90s ugliness with side scoops. Just like a fourth gen camaro

Re: Hey, our camaros are being made again.

I read somewhere else that was an independent artist rendition hoping what Dodge would do... It did also state they are going to make 2 door Chargers which they should of done from the beginning....

Gota agree with ya on that. Why the H&%$ make a so called sports car w/ 4 doors. I thought they figured that out a long time ago.

Direct quote

"...looks that resemble this 1999 concept car..."

That pic is from over a decade and a half ago, seems like they are saying they are taking inspiration from the design, in other words it will prolly not resemble that in anyway.

Squeeze a 68-70 style body out of it and sell like hot cakes...
In relation to 3rd gens... it needs to have a nice combination of lines / curves...

Have you not heard of the Chevy SS/Pontiac G8, or the Cadillac CTS-V/ATS-V, BMW M5/M6, Mercedes AMG C63, Audi RS7, Jaguar XF-RS? If you have, then you might have heard of the Chrysler line that includes the Charger RT Scat Pack/SRT8/Hellcat and the 300 series SRT.

There were many cars in the 60s and early 70s that were built as muscle cars, but had 4 doors, some had pickup truck beds and others were station wagons.

Guess what Scott.. Even if it has 707 HP that Charger is still UGLY and has two too many doors. Yeah ive heard of these cars you speak of , ive seen em. What do you think I don't have access to a computer or TV or maybe I don't get out much ? Like I said...I DONT LIKE EM. Except the Cadillac maybe..

Re: Hey, our camaros are being made again.

you said that "they" should've already figured it out a long time ago that you don't make a 4 door sports car. I was merely pointing out that "they" obviously haven't figured it out since I listed many manufacturers are still doing it.

You never said that you didn't like them. You're entitled to your opinion, no doubt about that, but my post was not in response to an opinion.
