People that park like that might as well have a sign on their forehead that says 'look at me, I've got $hit for brains'...........but then what would you expect from someone with $hit for brains?????????

The weird fake gills on the rear quarters look goofy to me.

Or possibly is says "don't even THINK about parking next to me" I know, that is what it means when "I" do that... lol.. They ARE out in the last row of the lot to... I'd never pull something like that close to anything, only out in the outskirts..

I'm in the minority here, but I am let down by the styling execution of the new Camaro. I love the concept of a throw-back '67, and I get that they didn't want to go straight-up throw-back, they wanted to freshen it up. IMHO that's where it went wrong. I think dodge did a far better job on the Callenger, and Ford did a way better job on the 2005 'stang. My $0.02.

Ford did such a good job on the 2005 'stang' that it had to be discontinued. instead of a $40,000 sedan/sports/muscle car they should have made a $20,000 2 seater more like the 1955-57 version. No need for anything more than a 4 cyl engine. The old farts seeing nostalgia would have bought them up faster than they could make them.

My cube-mate is working on the 2010 GT500 Mustang right now, so someone should tell Ford that the platform has been discontinued. I'm not aware of a '55-'57 two-seat mustang either (the 'stang debuted in '64 1/2). Are you talking about the Corvette?

Sure you're not talking about the Thunderbird? The overpriced, short lived Thunderbird reincarnation from a few years back is the only "sporty" thing I recall getting axed in recent memory. That was a 2-seater but Ford had few customers willing to pay $40,000 for what was nothing more than a 2-seat Lincoln LS with no top and different sheet metal.

Yea, that's probably what he was thinking. Besides being an overpriced and uninspiring bloated car, I think the T-bird marketing was botched... They trotted it out at about 5 autoshows before you could actually buy one, so by the time they were available the new-ness was gone. ... I did some design work on that car, and based on appearance I thought it would be a success.... (shows what I know).

i actually like the way they did the new camaro. its sleek and aggressive.the only thing i dont like on it is the rear back up lamps and where they are, itd work better if they were placed in the license plate area.yea North you are right the yellow is the v8 SS and the orange is the base v6 model. the ones im looking forward to are the RS and the Z28 models.

No wonder the back end looks awkward. The concept as shown in 2007 didn't HAVE backup lights!It's no wonder the 'redo' looks clumsy and awkward:Today cars are styled by government regulations and trial lawyers: Airbags, side impact standards, rollover standards, bumper standards, product liability lawsuits, personal injury/wrongful death lawsuits...And those 'impossible for anywhere in the frost-belt' wheels and tires also make the concept look much hotter than the final result.

Yeah I'm with Sublime, when I see a car like that taking up more than one spot, I think, "Hey there's someone that cares about their car and knows that 90% of the world cannot park!" It totally evades my mind as to WHY you people would even think about keying or damaging someone's car for that reason...it would be like me going around and if I saw an alarm system on someone's house, planting a bomb inside it. Most people that park like that fora real reason park in the back anyways so it's not like they are taking up any valuable spots up front to make all of the other people have to walk an extra 10 feet! (removed)...I would love to park my car like that everywhere I go but I'm afraid to because of those kind of thoughts I personally think they did a FANTASTIC job on the Camaros...same with the Challengers and the Mustangs. BTW, if they only put four cylinders in any of those cars, or if it was even an option, I would probably kill myself because then I would know the world is coming to an end lol. The Mustang just got redesigned again so I don't think they are discontinuing it...someone correct me if I'm wrong and I hope I'm not wrong

I wouldn't think of keying them or otherwise doing any damage, but I have sometimes taken advantage of having a pretty small car by squeezing into the space anyway and leaving them no way to enter their car except through the passenger side.

I don't mind that thought process. At least you don't let it bother you unless there are no more spots

If you look closely you can see the red RS logo. The SS logo is all chrome. The difference cosmetically between the two is basically the badge.Also, my dad told me, to my dismay, that he believes that the Z28 has been put on hold due to monetary cutbacks. He works at the GM Tech Center.
