Even the dealer I went to said it that if you were going to 41k for the fully loaded camero you might as well spend 6k more and buy a vette.I don't know what they were thinking when they made the new camero.It is by far one of the most the most ugly camaro's I have ever seen.I am highly dissappointed.My 2000 t/a looks way better.I guess it's all a matter of taste.The challenger looks better,but I wouldn't buy one of those either.

Oh god no. The *** end of the challenger is hideous, and the car is so big and tall. Some angles can look good but other angles look terrible. Cars look much better low and wide. The stance of the challenger is not good at all. Whoever mentioned about the camaro being tall I know what they mean, but with the challenger its much worse. its mostly because everyone wants 20" wheels nowadays. tall and thin does not look good.

Life is a matter of taste.Some people like it and some don't.I will keep my 4th gen or
maybe buy a vette.I still think that they are ugly fat toad cars with big wheels.
I am extremely dissappointed with the car.If people like it and want to buy it what the heck.Why not.

I think it's hilarious that you think George Bush is responsible for this. What hope do we have for Americans to buy American made products when they don't even know basic history? Most people that live here don't even respect the country.

I sat in a new SS yesterday at a chevy in a showroom. I like how it sits, and I like the chopped feeling inside. The interior is okay. The outside is what I am not loving, especially the back. The back is hideous. They were obviously trying to do what Ford did with the Mustang... and they missed. The Challenger was done right, but the Camaro just isnt where it needed to be. Maybe they'll grow on me once they're used... and about 50k miles on them... and 1/4 their value new.

The number one thing manufactured in America are stupid kids. Want goods manufactured in America again? Don't vote for a guy that wants to double the capital gains tax. Vote for the guy that wants to eliminate the capital gains tax. Capital gains taxes force corporations overseas where it's cheaper to develop goods. Tax corporations and "the rich" more and all the jobs go away. It sounds so nice, but it doesn't work. The more you tax corporations and "the rich", the more everyone else suffers. Don't **** off the upper class. They employ the middle and lower classes. That's reality. The middle class employs very little and the lower class doesn't employ anyone.

I spotted a yellow SS today with the white hockey stripe in a mall parking lot. I got out & did a walk around. It was an auto, it had a Berger Chevrolet license plate on the back. Its really not as big as I thought it would look, which is nice. I like the seats, they looked comfy. The back seats look a lil more roomy but not nothing like the challenger, theres lots of room in the back of that. Thats why its a much heavier car. The challenger would rock if it wasnt such a heavy pig. What I didnt like about the new camaro: radio & a/c heater controls, the fuel tank sized mufflers, them black plastic inserts around the fog lights, no steering wheel radio controls, & its just a lil heavier than I would want. The new camaro does look much better in person than most of the pics I have seen. Honestly, the new Mustang & Challenger have much better retro styling. I wont be buying one anytime soon, but as a camaro fan I am glad they started making it again.

it is ugly as hell and looks like a cat fish.
People from the import boards, mopar, euro cars and Ford forums have been saying this for years! Why? Because it's true!
The new Camaro's rock the 4th gens in every category.

The number one thing manufactured in America are stupid kids.
AMEN BRO!! Nobody gives two ***** about this country because a lot of people only come here to fleece and leach of what this country offers! I'm not going to mention a specific race but I'll give and example of an old person coming to this country-being a communist(hates America) all their life then when they get older they come here and apply for social security benefits and they get it!! WTF

The Challenger is a large overweight car. I believe its built on the Charger platform. That's why it sits so high. I think the new Camaro has a lot of the 69 characteristics. You have to first like the 69 to like the 2010.

You don't sound like you've been reading up on these cars, because they will kick trash on all previous generations. If they don't, then we won't buy it.
I don't see the 5th gen. "kicking trash" on 4th gens.
sorry

i wouldnt say anything bad about a 4th gen being that i have one and am keeping it. but they arent even on the same level. with the 4th gen just being there for raw hp and hauling ***. and the 5th being more like a m3 with a ls3 swap!
