Otherwise the I can't find anything else that would immediately stick out as the Car being a Camaro. That is if you'd never seen one before and it had absolutely no badging on it.
Though I guess deviating from the Camaro's original design was actually a trend for the Camaro with each newer generation...

Dude, you can't sit there and tell me the Camaro is as far from its 1969 inspiration as that car is from the Barracuda's... ... whatever model year it's drawing inspiration from, if any.
The side window shape, split grille, and shoulder line are virtually the only things that are maintained. It's too bloaty and too import-looking otherwise.
Our Camaros are perfection - you're right, the cars shouldn't be TOO retro, but the 5th gen is far more retro than that thing for sure. It doesn't look like a barracuda in any manner at all with the exception of the two things I stated above. You know what it looks an awful lot like? An Import or Foreign Sports ca--- OH SHIT, that's EXACTLY where they plan to go with the Mustang!
There's no American styling in the car at all is what I'm saying.
