5th gen camaro changing the Look?!

idk if this is the right place but it kinda seems to have to do with the camaro's history i guess...
Anyways i was just browsing and i came across this:

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...d=171119221668

It kinda bothers me that GM is kinda changin the look of the camaro in a way. And let alone to an import/tuner look. And yes i realize its just a proposed design but still...i always thought of camaro's as more of a Bad@$$ car...not some car that some kids gonna turn into a r!cer and now it seems GM is thinkin like those people...i hope this isnt too big of a deal just thought i'd get this out there and see what you guys thought...it kinda just bothers me inside a little bit...


It literally says in the description that they are going for a modern/tuner look...

I don't like it. Soon they're going to have body kits that look comparable to something out of Star Trek, that drag along the ground, and bottom out everywhere.

I suppose this is why I've always liked IROC's, they have a modern, yet muscle car look to them, plus they don't weigh nearly 4,000 pounds.. Such as the 5th Gen.

Re: 5th gen camaro changing the Look?!

i was gonna post a comment on there by why bother after reading everyone else's comments ....obviously it's for the modern media and of course people have a way of following "hype"...
It's embarassing to know that this is what is coming down to when fashion takes over vehicles...bunch of

It's like the time when we use to see a bunch of idiots riding around with spinners thinking how cool they are...( i laugh at them)

I dont want to imagine a 4000lb camaro like this wearing 19 inch wheels hitting a pot hole at 40mphs....wouldn't be a pretty site...

i can only hope the vast majority would veto the so call "tuner camaro" like this...but it's only my opinion...
