Lol.

Hopefully GM engineers can come up with a response. The new Mustang is going to be a serious car.

That car looks really freaking small. Should be stupid light.

Your reaching with some of these, lol. Just curious on how many designs can a rear quarter panel be without eventually looking like something already done? That goes along the same lines with rims, mirrors, tail lights.

I wonder if the Camaro steering wheel got its foundation from another vehicle? The '14 Camaro got ideas from a few other car manufactures as well. Be honest with yourself.

Stop being a Yes man. Your saying its bland because of Docs post. Lol

It doesn't look powerful, it doesn't look fast... it looks like your mom's idea of "sporty". The dash looks overly-busy. I'm not a Ford fan per se but I'd prefer to see a great Mustang instead of not-so-great.

The only reason a 4-cylinder Camaro would sell is not because it has 4-cylinders; the ricer crowd does all kinds of things to their cars trying to get them to perform like an 8-cylinder car. It would sell because of the price being lower. If GM came up with a base model 4-cylinder Camaro priced at $19,990 it would sell because of looks and price; performance would be the secondary issue to that particular demographic. Is that a good marketing move for GM? Personally I don't think so; to me it would dilute the Camaro image and reputation. I'd prefer them to come up with a "sporty" Chevelle that started in the $18,990 range and make that the younger brother to the Camaro. It wouldn't have to have all the performance abilities of the Camaro; it could easily have a nice and peppy 4-cylinder with a turbo option on a reasonably light chassis and it would sell to the younger crowd.

With a V8 Camaro north of $30k, that's why the V6 sells...it's not because V6 owners don't want a V8, it's the much lower price; a great looking car they can afford. An entry-level performance car that looks good; not bland, not like your mom's idea of "sporty", but looks pretty darned good in its own right...priced just below the $20k mark so it's affordable to entry-level buyers... that would sell.

GM should forget what Ford's doing and just take the lead. Let the competition worry about what GM's doing; not the other way around.

I agreed with what you said, up until that part about the Chevelle. No way in hell should the Chevelle be the Camaro's smaller brother. If anything, the Camaro should downsize to it's original place and let the Chevelle come back as the big, high power Chevrolet.

I think they were smart to target beyond the Camaro. After all, if that were the benchmark, most would cry foul, just as the Ford guys have in comparing the Z/28 to a Boss. The Camaro is on an aging platform and Ford is smart to target a higher performing car, as GM will surely do the same when bringing the 6th gen Camaro to market.

If Ford did succeed it targeting either the 911 or M3, it can only benefit the Camaro, as it will force GM to up it's game in response. I think the next round of pony cars will be the best ever seen from the market. I look forward to what Chrysler may do to compete with GM and Ford, if they even try. Will they bring a lighter more powerful 'Cuda? I hope so as it can only add to this category of cars and put all of world on notice that American performance cars are not to be taken lightly.

Another added benefit is that it may finally turn the opinion that these cars, Mustang, Camaro, whatever Chrysler, can only go fast in a straight line. The Boss, and the new Z/28 I think are doing it already, but are a small part of the overall pie.

Here's to competition!

Check the time stamps.

And it is bland. There's nothing distringuishing about it that I can see, and from different angles it reminds me of other cars.

I am a sports car nut... heck any car nut, truth be told, and Although I own 3 Camaros and most of my cars through the years have been GM, I don't run away from any other brands. I have been waiting to see the true 2015 mustang for awhile and though the styling is a very minor improvement it falls flat in my opinion. The render that had it look more like an Aston Martin would have made a much better forward progression....especially in the European Market.



The interior, though flashy and improved...looks like they raided the local pep boys for the parts. Amazingly a lot of talk on the boards in in the interwebs about the 2016 Camaro is that GM seems to be following Ford. I beg to differ. The Ford My touch screen...first offered in the mustang 2015, Camaro MyLink 2013, color stitched leather, 2015 Mustang, 2010 Camaro. Styling...the rear haunches...borrowed from GM...hmmm...but they didn't stop there...can we say BMW 4 series Front???? dont see it? How bout now.


So in conclusion, though many will find this car appealing and Ford should be proud of their achievments...ie: Independent Rear Suspension...FINALLY!!!! the car still overall fails in my book and unfortunately really does nothing original to progress the mustang culture or heritage. on a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 4, and that is probably being to generous. And for those who want to say....oh but the turbo 4 is such a revolution.....its a Mazda concept...Ford still has ties there and it is truly nothing new...similar engine was also in a focus. maybe next time...for now I wait to see whats next('16 Camaro, '15 Cuda) and stand by my Gen 5.

Not everyone has to like the damn car. There are plenty of folks out there who think the Camaro looks like crap. If someone doesn't like how it looks then just let them dislike it.

Good lord.

I like it..just wondering if anyone can Photoshop diffdrent hood scoops,stripes, and spoiler options.

It's bland because they don't want you to buy this one. They will put the good shit on the GT500.
