Because it's ass ugly. When you had the Challenger outselling the Camaro with a 15 year old platform, and the Mustang that was also riding on an aging platform for some time, you have yourself a problem.

While GM was routinely touting track lap times, handling characteristics, and technology implementation, Mopar and Ford were building cars for the regular guy. 0-60 times, 1/4 mile times, and comfortable interiors. The same stuff that sold muscle cars back in the day, still sells them today.

99% of Joe Blows aren't going to track days, but they definitely can have some fun stoplight to stoplight, going to street night at the dragstrip, and having themselves a highway warrior.

Who ever is in charge of styling at GM should be shot to Mars. They single handedly made the entire lineup of every GM brand disgusting looking with the possible exception being GMC.

The 5th Gen Camaro was pretty cool when it came out. The 6th gen brought some nice improvements, but styling was a little strange. The nail in the coffin was the "refresh" on the 6th gen that was an absolute abomination.


It's too bad. I've always liked Camaros. I've owned plenty of them. But I'll never own a 6th gen.

I'm shopping for a HC Challenger though.
