why are camaro so ugly

1st and late 3rd gen camaro were nice.but how can one company Chevy make a car so ugly when a company like Pontiac makes them look so damn good ,exterior and interior.the old 69 ss camaro were nice and same with the TPI Irocs but they are nowhere near as nice looking as the Trans Ams.1st 2nd 3rd and 4th Pontiac allways seems to come out on top.As they put it WE BUILD EXCITEMENT.Just my thoughts,I live in a Trans Am familly so i may be biased.

Personally I don't think 2nd gens of either model looked that good, although I have seen some very very nice looking ones. 1st and 3rd of both look great. 4th gens are ok, although if I had to choose one out of the 4th gen it would probably be the firebird. Just my .02.

GM just can't get much right anymore.
Who knows.

Personally I think they all look good - just that some need a little more TLC to "get them there".
I was pleased with my 2nd gen Camaro (take a look) but I think the stock appearance of them need a little help, but they CAN definitely look sweet.
As for the early thirdgens, I don't personally think either the Camaro or the Firebird is that sharp - but again, with a little facelift they look sweet as well.

It is all a matter of taste. Stating that the "camaro [is] so ugly" - thats a little silly to me...

just my $.02

I've got to shut this one down...

This string is purely asking for opinions (which makes it a non-tech post) and is NOT technical in any way. Sorry guys but this topic deviates from the very nature of this website. In the future, please take questions such as these to
