Especially the Challenger, I mean, nothing changed. Its cool to have a 60's muscle car, but seriously who wants a "Remake"

Plenty changed, the car isn't even the same size as the original. The engines/trannies to be offered in the new Challenger are WORLDS ahead in refinement(if maybe a bit worse on reliability...Those old LA small blocks could take a beating...)

I like the Challenger and look forward to seeing a re-translation of a 20th century classic hitting the roads and burning some damn rubber. What would you rather see out there anyway? Another ?????? Give me a break!

T-Tops. I'm from Cal and I love driving on the I-5 or to Vegas on the 15 with them down.

Sorry, I had to! lol.

Wait, are you referring to the difference between the show car and the production or the difference between the ORIGINAL Challenger and the NEW Challenger? I'm a little confused...

The Camaro and Firebird are only referred to being called 'white trash' because of the jap crap driving yuppies who wish they had bought a Camaro or Firebird instead of their slow ugly POS. "My car gets great gas milage, wa-wa-wa-wa! " Yeah, it gets good gas milage, but look at what you're giving up!!

Oh the power of buyers remorse.

I do understand there are people who need a car with the max amount of mpg. (I'd hate to be you.) But as for myself, I don't hit 10,000 miles a year. I don't work far from where I live, which is how it should be.

Default Why not sunroof?

Although someone previously mentioned that a sunroof is "gay", I'd want one for the next gen, instead of a T-roof. Why? Because I'd use it more, especially in the winter, plus you don't lose as much structure = better handling.

Did the GTO come with a factory sunroof?

We don't know if the new Camaro will be a softtop vert either. Hardtop verts on the rise as well

I had T-top on my 99, and I loved them, and they look completely badass on a 4g, but being the 5th gen is more like a 1st gen, I don't see T-tops looking as good as they do on 3rd and 4th gens....

Give me the drop top for the 5th gen!

Thank you to the three who voted "I would rather have a Mustang or a Challenger and be gay with rainbows and ****!!!" You made my night. Not that I am applauding anyone for choosing a Mustang or Challenger...because then you would be gay with rainbows and ****.
