I see a big difference between retaining styling cues (good!) and copying (bad). I think the Camaro does a terrific job of taking classic Camaro style and modernizing it perfectly. It doesn't look retro. It looks like what a proper evolution for the model should look like. The cues are all there, and people who care would know what it was even without badges (ignore the people from the "What is the stupidest thing people have said about your Camaro thread) yet you wouldn't mistake it for being anything other than a 2010 model either. The Challenger, on the other hand, shows zero originality or modernity. It looks stuck in the past. The Camaro aged well, with confidence, knowing it was great in the past, and is still great now. The Challenger, on the other hand, is Uncle Rico.
