The Web Based Poll at the NAIAS [North American International Auto Show] has the Challenger beating out the new Camaro Concept.
... I happen to agree. G.M. better take another look at that design IMO. ...
I bet they will now.

Puh-lease, I'd much rather have the Camaro than that boat they're calling a Challenger. And NO they aren't going to do a major re-design just because of some silly poll at an auto show

I'll give you a picture to look at:
I'll give you a hint, those awards (including Best in Show @ NAIAS) weren't for the Challenger.
GM doesn't need to take a 2nd look at it. No other car in recent GM history has gotten such an overwhleming response the Camaro did.

things will be toned down a bit, especially the wheels and brakes-lets just face it 20/21 wheels combo isnt realistic because the average buyer wouldnt be able to afford tires, and the brakes are on par with the z06's, and that whont fly. hopefully they will tweak the front nose/grill a bit so its not so pointy and shitty looking

Exactly. All the haters of the new camaro are not hooked up right. The concept is close to the production so deal with it.
Shame on you haters.

I personally think they should have continued on an the 4th gen platform theme with a even more modern forward looking futurelistic design. Maybe kicked back the windshield another 10 degress or so. Maybe even streched it out a little more for some more leg room in the rear seats.

I think this car looks great. And who could ask for more, they are finally bring the Camaro back. If you don't like how it looks then don't buy one it is as simple as that. If I can afford one when they start to produce these I will get one to sit right beside the 2000 Z I have right now. I will stay with the Camaro because personally I like the looks of it better than the Challenger, Charger, and Mustangs that will be out there to compete with it. If you say it has some retro look to it you are right and GM is just going with the trend of the other two companies (Dodge and Ford) with new look muscle cars and what the American buyers seem to be purchasing, but it also does have a very modern look to it. But to each his own. Like I said if you don't like it don't get it, but I will eventually have one.

I hope you're kidding....maybe you're thinking of the Charger - which is a boat turd. The Challenger is one sexy looking car.
If you still disagree, I would love to find out where you are at in Colorado, so I can come down there and beat your face in w/ a tire iron....lol
