I agree with the second part, but IMHO they both look like huge turds in person. I actually liked them both less when I did actually see them. Which is a real shame because I was really psyched when they came out.

then again its not for everyone. i think itll take time to grow on others. still remember how people felt about the restyled 98 camaros when they first came out. alot of the opinions were much worse back then. you think you like it now. go take a ss car for a drive and let me know how you feel then!

There's a few things that irk me about the car, like the radio for instance ... so much for aftermarket there. The whole area where the radio/HVAC controls are just looks goofy but I want to see one in person. If I like it more than I do the C6, then I'll wait for the 3rd production year (if it makes it that far.)

i saw one yesterday for the first time. I like the way the car looks, but it seems like it lost its muscle car feel. It feels more like a vette to me now. I dont see myself buying one anytime soon. Especially since you can pick up a used z06 for a little more than a camaro now. Either way its an amazing car, and was engineered wayyyyy better then 4th gens

and yes i agree that the challenger looks like a MF tank compared to the camaro, i bet all those people on here talking **** about the camaro that bought the challeneger instead before the camaro came out are kicking themselves in the *** right now. haha.

i was thinking it felt more or less like a m3 with a ls3 swap when i sat in it and grabbed the key fob to start it.
