That is by far the worst gen. If you cut off the front and rear overhangs and welded them together, you'd have yourself an entire midsize car. Horrendous.

Style is subjective. It had the best engine at the time. LS1. It was also pretty reliable. I had mine for 10 years and I only had to replace the water pump and power steering pump. Before that I had a 87 GTA Trans Am and that thing was beautiful but absolute crap design of the engine and reliability aspects.

Side view looks extremely similar to the current models.
And with the 14-15 refresh to the 5th gen still fresh in my mind, the changes to the front and rear of it aren't that impressive.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the exterior design of the 6th gen looks more like a second refresh of the 5th gen. And that's far from a good thing considering that the design has been carried over for a decade or so. I doubt GM even realizes that.

I always forget how awful car threads on GAF are outside of Automotive GAF.

Edit: nm, no sense bashing on a car that people like the looks of.

I don't think it looks big and boxy at all.... Are we looking at the same car? The previous gen mustang and camaros, yes, absolutely too boxy and dated looking. This looks very sleek and aerodynamic, almost european in the styling. I love it.

The 2.0t is almost guaranteed to be a beast too. GM makes a mean turbo 4. It will almost certainly outperform the ecoboost mustang.

The car definitely has a boxy silhouette. In fact, it looks almost the same as the old one.

Oh great and wise GAF please tell me which vehicle i should be buying instead of a camaro since apparently I'm a bad person with no taste.

You don't hang that chunky bumper reinforcement on the front and back it's a missile of death. Really they had no choice. Big engine is crammed in and a spot in the back of the hatch is needed for the T-Top glass panels.

It must be electric and autonomous. Those are the only cars I've seen get any real love here.

Oh man the trans am is an ugly ugly vehicle (in my opinion). So cheesy.

 

[bengraven]

Under the hood and the interior look hot, but the outside looks like every other non-family car out there.

Fucking come back to me, unique car design.

 

[Measley]

Looks like Ford wins again.

You forget that a lot of gaffers don't even know how to drive, or drive priuses. What do they know about cars?

Looks the same.

 

[Tworak]

I quite like it.

 

[Nimby]

I like the interior, but I agree the back-end looks off.

Still my favorite:

 

[Toxi]

Yep, that's a car.

Ew.

How about something nicer?

 

[block tower]

4th Gen
4 Life

That looks like something Joe Dirt would drive

 

[ascii42]

looks like a scion tc with a bigger price tag.

I guess they are both coupes.
