Why is anyone surprised that GM is having problems with a first gen vehicle?
It's their MO. They make bad designs, and try to work them out in the assembly line rather than doing most of the work on the drawing table.
It's ridiculous that the Camaro was in development for as long as it was, and to still have major issues...
Looks... I still like it. The 68 Camaro with the folding lights is one of the sweetest looking cars every made. The new one captures a little of that, but as has been said... they made it too big. Somewhere along the line the "pony" part of pony car was lost in favor of Clydesdale.
I work with a guy that got the first Camaro delivered in DFW. It's a red SS and is pretty to look at and has a great V8 growl, but it only took me a few minutes to know I wouldn't buy one.
I detest GM's interior philosophy of cramming as much crap as possible into every nook and cranny as they can. Pontiac was the worst.
