i'd almost only call the 4th gen a pony car because of the nameplate. i think it was the black sheep of camaro design. i never really cared for the body style with its relatively short hood that sloped down & was hard to see from inside (i like to be able to see the hood), the smooth round lines, and the really pointy nose. i'm glad they revisited the 1st gen styling with our new baby.
