Hmm, that's not a lot to go on, but something about that outline looks vaguely familiar.

Egads....does this mean a resurrection of the Fusion grille wars? I don't want to go through that again!!!!

It looks different--but I think the real question is "does it look different enough". The comments I have read, seem to echo the comments about the new Mustang.

I know many in the Mustang community (and some on this forum) were disappointed that the new design was not a more radical departure (i.e. new platform, new look.) from the previous design, rather than an evolutionary progression that retained more than a few retro cues. (JMO, except for the front, the current car reminds me of the '66 fastback in profile, escpecially so in the 50th SE.)

I think there is something similar to that sentiment rippling through the Camaro camp at this time. There seems to be a number satisfied with the design (if it ain't broke don't fix it) and a certain percentage that expected a radical change, in keeping with the new chassis.

It will be interesting to see how the buying public votes with their wallets.
