Poll: Are F-bodies visually withstanding the test of time??
It has almost been 7 years since the last F-body rolled off an assembly line. We've seen the Corvette and Mustang remodeled. A new Dodge Charger platform and remodels from all of the F-bodies foreign competitors. How well do you think F-bodies have visually withstood the test of time?
IMO only recently do I feel that my Trans Am looks "old". When it sat next to my friend's C6 the other day it looked like a boat. But, I still love the way it looks and remains one of the fastest cars on the road.

Very true. I think 4th gen F-bodies have looked fresh for so long b/c a new model hasn't hit the roads to make it seem outdated. IMO when C6's came out, C5's began to look really dated not to long thereafter.

We're all a bit biased here when it comes to these cars, but IMO they still look great.
GM designers really hit the nail on the head with them. I getcomplimints on mine all the time, and whenver I see one it turns my head.
I absolutley love the lines of the Pontiacs. I think the Formula is cleaner, but the T/A, esp. WS6, is a mean looking car.
Like I said, I'm biased, but I can't walk away from my car without turing my head to look back at it, and when I'm at home every once in a while I sneak a glance at it out the window. I live on the 2nd florr, and my kitchn overlooks the driveway. Ever see a 'Bird looking directly down on it from up high? DAMN sexy.
I like the Z's too. I find the stock Z's a bit boring visually, but a few simple mods really bring them to life, and the stock SS is a damn clean looking car. Subtle, yet muscular. You can't ever accuse a WS6 of being subtle!!
Actually, although each generation has a few excpetions, I think ALL the F-Bods still look great.

I feel bad for all the Camaro guys getting asked all the time when they're going to get a new one, and having thier cars referred to as "old".

I think it looks awesome. It's kind of a "rare" car. There is a lot of "junk" on the road and to be frank I don't like a majority of all the new cars coming out. Why would you say it looks dated?

I parked next to a black roush mustang not long ago and I have to admit for the first time I thought the WS6 looked old ! I think the wheel and tire size made the cars look like cars from different eras

Compared to newer cars, they do look a bit dated, but that doesn't take away from them. Newer cars seem bigger and bulkier. If you park next a new Challenger etc. you will notice that 4th gen F-bodies look very small and slim.

Another good point. Most new cars come with wheels in 18" or 19". Obviously you can buy a new set, but a set of 17inchers look dated no matter what the style IMO.

I voted for its beginning to looked outdated. My favorite styling of any car is still the WS.6 and will probably always be. IMO most well kept up F-Bodies don't look old by their exterior but their interior is garbage compared to new competitors. I don't mind my interior, but I probably wouldn't even buy a camaro b/c of its interior. The Gauge cluster/Dash and Seats seem way to old to me esp. if it hasn't been taken care of.
