I like GM, and when comments are made without any sort of base, I get upset. ****, at least I wont pick you apart like on CZ28.
Just looking at the GT500 and the Camaro concept, I see NOTHING similar about the 2 outside of 4 wheels, 3 box, long nose short deck design.
If you want to buy a Challenger, thats cool, but to say that it looks like a Mustang is just WAY off base. If thats the case, the Challenger looks like a Mustang.

Wow, where did he say it looked like a GT500 or that style Mustang? He didn't. I think he meant earlier Mustangs. Guess what? He's right. Maybe Ford "copied" the 69 Camaro vents, maybe they didn't but they look oddly familar when compared to certain year Mustangs.
Also, back to your Challenger comments. What does the weight have ANYTHING to do with it's looks?

I was the one who mentioned the weight, and that was in reference to the comment about seeing the Camaro in the Challenger's rearview mirror....

So did Al. 
You at least made a valid point about the weight.

I brought the Challenger in saying that if you are gunna make a claim that the Camaro looks liek the Mustang due to the basic set up of a 3 box, 4 wheel pony car, then you should include the Challenger too.

Without any sort of base? I stated my OPINION that I think its hideous, and that the vents are mustang-like as the most recent past generation 'stang. Where did I write factual statments? Nowhere... and you really think Id care if I "get picked apart" on a message board? Come on now!

That was just a joke... Ive got no idea how either car will perform once finally produced... but if it was based on looks, IMO the Charger would smoke it in a straight line race.

i think you all need to take a step back from the computer for a while. these are concept cars. while the production version will most likely resemble the concept, there is very little chance that they will release the concept as the production model.
opinions vary. if we all thought the same thing, how much fun would that be? but keep it in perspective, please.

notice i said "very little chance", not none. and the reason why the solstice went from concept to production with very little change was the rush to production that they had - how many cars go from concept to production in 18 months? that's pretty much unheard of, which is why i said "very little chance". nothing is impossible.
thanks for pointing that out and making me feel all defensive and ****, though. i owe you one.
