These new cars all look to much alike to me ... its like they all use the same body and paint a different grill on it ... its the same thing that happened to funny cars years back. If its a mustang paint a mustang grill on it, if its a camaro, paint a camaro grill on it ... under the paint i think they're dam near the same body ?? The cars today seem to be at either one extreme or the other. On one end they're tear drop shaped without a single body line or corner of any kind, and at the other end of the spectrum they have so many lines they look like a military vehicle covered with armor ???
I think its a generational thing ... I think the designers of my generation make the designers of today look like village idiots !
I know the young guys on this board are gonna come at me from all directions ... so go ahead ... bring it ... show me what ya got ! lol

Two of my first 3 cars were a '66 Malibu and a '69 Chevelle SS396. Only recently did I change my opinion that no "real" cars had been built after 1972. I haven't sat in the new GTO yet, but I'm sure it has personality. Well, I sure hope it does. I understand what you're saying about them looking alike, but that's been true since the GTO was born. The GTO, Le Mans, Tempest, Chevelle, Malibu, Cutlass, Cutlass Supreme, 4-4-2, Skylark, and GS400 all had the exact same body. The only difference, appearance-wise, was the front and rear clip, the badges, and maybe an artificial scoop or two.

Don't get me wrong, the '69 Judge is still my all-time favorite car, but they've always looked alot like many others. IMO.



Take care,
