I my own opinion, I think the Camaro, Mustang and Challenger all have their pro's and con's and each have nuances in their styling that are going to cause certain people to love or hate them. I'm a fan of all three cars and each brings to the table something a little different from the other.
I think the exterior styling on the Camaro is great. I think Mopar would have a hard time designing a car that was more of a nod at the past than the Challenger and the Mustang is in the process of being a car that is less a tribute to it's '60's heyday and more of a modern performence car.
Calling the Mustang garbage or the Challenger a tank is not going to make anyone's choice in the Camaro seem better other than in that individual's own mind. If bashing other makes models makes you feel better about the car you have bought/want to buy, maybe your self-confidence and/or self-esteem could use some work.
I, for one, can't wait to see all of them on the road.

Well the Camaro was discontinued with plans of being brought back from the very begining. Fbodfather said it himself.
and as for biases. I've been to the Mustang forums and yes they are very biased towards their car just like every other forum. However, I heard many of them say that they hate the new style of the Mustang so it's not just opinion. Even some hardcore Mustang fanboys agree with us.
As for the Challenger, I've said it before. They tried to re-create the Challenger from the 60's and 70's and they succeeded.
Too bad when they did this they used the copy and paste tool and made an exact recreation instead of making it look like a better newer model.
