After a while, let's face it, the Camaro looks fat and porky. It's a big contrast to all the lean sports cars from Europe. To me, Camaros look like Nascars - inelegant but beefy looking (in a fat butch way).

This is due to the huge and tall sidewalls and the big fat butt. Just makes the Camaro look like a slab of pork fat. While all cars have been getting higher and higher sidewalls due to increasing safety standards, the Camaro in particular accentuates this aesthetic travesty due to its gun-slit windows.

So yeah, wonder why it looks "manly"? It's because it looks more like a truck than a lithe sports-car that's why.

Stick a flat bed on it, and hey presto!
