Buster,
I kinda agree with you on the "Guess alot of it has to do with your age and what you grew up wishing you could have.", but I grew up right in the middle of the muscle car era. (I graduated from HS in 1971), so I lived through the Challenger/Cuda, muscle car era.
Plus, I had an Uncle that got me into cars when I was 10 years old (1963). He took me to the Martin US131 Dragway, in a '55 Chevy, nearly every Saturday night for years. But I learned early on, the the big deal was the Chevys vs. Fords. So, I became a died-in-the wool Chevy guy! Mopars were not that big of a deal here in west Michigan (much more so in the Detroit area) and I never had any desire to own a Challenger or Cuda.
Through all those years, I have owned one Ford (Free, when my ex-wifes grandmother died, it became a winter beater, and two Oldsmobiles, one winter beater and one family car, the now wife drove when we got married). Other than that, I have only owned Chevrolets! My High School yearbook even mentions my "leaving in my Chevy Jacket"
But, I saw a lot of 1970 Challengers the first time around, am not all that excited to see them again. Same goes for the Mustang. I've seen the '67 Mustangs before, too. That's why I think they are both too retro. The Camaro is not so retro as either of the other two, it just makes you think of the 1st Gen, not so retro to be locked into the past.
