doesn't matter how fast they are or how cheap they are, I just cant get past the awkward styling in this area of the car.

I care less about what it looks like than what it tracks like, within reason. It's about as reminiscent of the original Camaro as the current Mustang is the original. It's not that hideous, people are crapping their pants about how fabulous the Alfa's are these days and those are weird looking cars IMHO. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it's whatever turns yer crank.
If I was planning on a new car I'd likely be starting down the 1LE road, but I think I'll keep my current car and see if I can make it a 1LE killer on a road course.

I buy what I find visually pleasing and enjoyable to drive. road racing isn't something I do so track performance means nothing to me. i'd venture that 95-98% of the people who buy these cars are the same. there's a reason Camaro sales are so poor and from what I hear people say, styling is one of the big reasons why.

To me, the Camaro is the ugly duckling of the Group. If I didnāt have an S550, I would own a Scat Pack Challanger. The Camaro isnāt even on my radar. I donāt care if it sets records on the Nurburgring or in a straight line. Itās ugly.

This will probably get me banned but I think the Camaro roofline is more āMustangā than the current Mustang fastback roofline. The current Camaro roof has the same profile as the ā69 Mustang fastback.

I've said it before, but I think the basic problem with the 6G Camaro is that GM tried as hard as possible to build a car that looks like the "artists conception". Ever notice how automotive concept art all has a similar look? Low (almost chopped) rooflines, high beltlines, unrealistically big wheels, exaggerated fenders. Most cars are toned down when concept art meets reality, but not the Camaro. It looks like concept art, like some sort of weird caricature of a 1969 Camaro.
