And why copy an old car? If you like the style, buy the original. What is wrong with being new, original and interesting. It would be boring if nothing ever changed.
Why copy the classics, because this was the the height of American Auto design (IMO) and has a big following still. One reason that we own a 2010 is because it takes the best of both worlds and owns it. I never much cared of the Camaro after 73 and this car was the first in a long time that made me want to buy it. We own two classics, two DD and now the 2010 and believe me I would buy another if it was in the budget. I favor the classics and love the fact that the US auto industry has taken some of the styling ques from this and added what all the classic lack from the moder era. I'm all for new, but believe this is why the Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger are doing so well. JM2C
