My opinion is that the Challenger looks best, then the Camaro, then the Mustang.

The Challenger in my opinion has the best retro look out there.

Everyone's got an opinion, and far be it from anyone here to flame you for it because they don't share the same...but maybe not the best section to post this in.

For the record though...GM never went into this seeking to go "retro". Theirs was the most forward-looking design, and so that makes them the "worst" retro entry...

Then why are they advertising it as retro?

I'm not disagreeing with you on the most "forward" looking design...however GM most definitely billing it as "retro".

Wow, this is a colossal mistake if you are serious. Haste makes waste. You should have done your homework.

Are they? "21st century sports car" is the only slogan I've heard of...

If your not happy with with the car (which I would find it hard not to be even if it's an LT) It was not necessary to post a blog, opinion or not... This site is for Camaro lovers period. Even if the "Camaro" isn't the hottest looking car, best performance vehicle in every ones eyes outside Camaro5 forum, the Camaro is all that and more in here. Let's keep the possitive talk going and leave the neg outside. You knew it was gonna draw alot of negativity.

IMO if the challenger had a nicer interior, it would be a little better but the car is not as big of a head turner as the camaro. plus for the money, you get way more with the camaro

Just a kinda strange post, Aqua. You bought a V6 Camaro and you're ready for the Hemi Chally? The shopping comparison doesn't exactly fit.

That said, I agree the Challenger is the best "retro" look. But the Camaro has the best combination retro/modern styling with a ton of cooler features, let alone styling, IMO. Good luck--

My buddy wanted to look at the Challenger so we stopped at the Chrysler lot during lunch. There were two used SRT 8's there and 11 brand new Challengers. The salesman didn't know I had a Camaro because we went in my truck. He offered my buddy $3,000 off on any R/T. When I asked him why they were discounted so much, he said "because everyone wants the Camaro". Those cars have been sitting there for weeks now. Chrysler screwed up by making the Challenger so retro that they can't do anything with it now. At least the Mustangs and Camaros can be changed every few years (like the Mustang did) and still have retro lines. The Challenger is dead unless you want 200,000 72 imitation Hemi, imitation Challengers on the road.
BTW, I had a deposit on a B5 blue Challenger until I woke up.

BUT the 2010 Camaro was to be a full RETRO look..

Its supposed to be a new generation ( breed) of Camaros.

Hints from the 1 st gen, but a breed of its own.. as far as everything else, Camaro has it beat HANDS DOWN. Dont judge a book by its cover

But if you prefer the LOOKS then sell your Camaro...

Get the charger.. Im sure youll enjoy bringing up the rear from that point on..LOL..
