hmm. i wanna see some pics or something. i dont understand how u can bring back the camaro and not the firebird, but whatever. it better not be retro either, that shit is played out. use the 4th gen as a starting point and design from there. im expecting the worst, so hopefully GM will impress.

If they build it cheaply, and put it out at $20k (for the base model), it’ll do well.

there was a topic on [LS1.com](http://LS1.com) i think about this and most ppl werent diggin the throwback to the 1st generation look. who cares if ford did it? does that mean GM has to? also how do u move forward from a throwback generation. the Fbody moved forward in styling with each generation so if they re-invent the first gen then what do you do from there? re-invent the 2nd gen as the 6th gen?? that shit is gay. just make a fresh new design that advances the from 4th generation when they come out with the new one.

i see retro styled mustangs everywhere, somebody likes the idea. APRRENTLY GM’s own idea suck so it should matter what ford does. GTO still a sweet fucking car was a flop in sales.

not many ppl r gonna argue that the gto styling isnt a hit. but is it because it isnt retro???no, its not. its because its nowhere near agressive enough. i think taking certain things to keep tradition are a must but to modernize a prior generation isnt gonna be something GM needs to do to the Fbody. just move forward and update the current one. the first gen was cool, leave it that way and move on and try to make a 5th gen that has its own style and keeps some old fbody character but at the same time keep it current.
