Can you say HEMI CHALLENGER Baby!!??

I might have to give up my first born for one of these.....(Well OK, not him, but maybe trade mama in on it.....)

OMG, that Challenger looks sweet! I really dig all these retro stuff. Camaro looks great as well although the front needs to go.

People are tired of Japan look. These retros might save Detroit.

I don't think people are tired of their CamCord or Corolla/Civic yet, I haven't seen anything from Detroit that should change that. Muscle cars are cool though, and should be a hit. These cars should be profitable, unlike so many domestic 4-door sedans, albeit lower sales numbers.

I sorta like it. I'd have to see one in person before I could give a true opinion. I'm sure the production model will have some changes.

Oh, I think the retro Mustang of today looks like ass. ;)

if every generation of a car looked the same, why bother updating the looks period? why make the new GTO look like the old GTO? Why does a car have to look retro? Why not buy an old version, go true retro, and put a new engine in it? there, problem solved. you got what you want, a car that looks old.
sometimes people want new cars, to uh.. look new? thus each generation tends to look different.
OK, now you can take the trouble to explain exactly WHY they had to throw the GTO moniker on that nondescript clone. It's an insult!

Personally, I don't really care. I own a 2005 GTO and love it.

I think the retro Camaro has potential, but they need to revise the front and back ends.
