Don't look now, but your bias is showing.
In all seriousness, I'm not a big fan of the reworked body but the interior is a little better that the current version. I still prefer the '05-'09 body, however, over this one.

As for the S197 Mustags being ugly in the outside, you really are reaching. If it were not for Ford going "retro" with the new Mustang, I doubt you would see a Challenger or, gasp, the Camaro as you have it now. There is a reason Ford drew its inspiration from the '60's; because those cars sold like hotcakes and are still considered the most desirable (and beautiful) pony car they ever built.

Now why would GM choose to take the same route as Ford and Dodge and create a new Camaro based on the classic bodystyle? Maybe because they know that is what will sell and compete with the other brands. (And I'm speaking in terms of sales, not performance.)

Holden did it right with the new Camaro, for the most part, which is why I plan to put one in the garage next to the GT500 in a year or so.
