Thank You, glad to see I am not alone on this one.
I leased a 2010 which I really liked, when the lease was up the dealer tried to talk me into a 2013. I was having none of that.
I agree with you, but they improved the look of that generation of Camaros later in the 1970s. I had a 1979 Camaro Z-28, it didn't have the performance of the Camaro of the previous generation, but it was okay in looks.
I thought they improved the looks somewhat with the early 3rd generation Camaro (1982-1992), but not the performance. That happened around 1987 when they started putting EFI in their V8 engines, and the later models of that generation.
Here's a 1990 IROC-Z, I liked that body style.
the 4th generation (1993-2002) was not the best looking, but it was allright. I like the current 1960s retro generation though.

How could i have forgotten that one.
1992 Camaro- Hot
1993 Camaro- Your Geo Storm on steroids has arrived.
I was thinking the 58 to 59 chevy as well. IMO the 57 2 door hard top was one of the best looking cars made. The 58 is an attractive car as well. But the 59? What happened? The back half of the car isn't bad looking but the front? They just don't go together. I guess it was the 50's meeting the 60's in that design.

LOL.. That's true Rbohm, but like SCR said about the 4th generation Camaro being a Geo Storm on Steroids, the Mustang II was a Pinto on Steroids.. LOL..
I hear that Lee Iacocca wasn't happy with the progress of the Mustang in the early 1970s because it got too big, so he had something to do with downsizing it into the Mustang II, which people bought mainly for the name, and the improved gas mileage.

The Mustang II was ugly. It did need to be downsized. Those in charge saw what was coming. It's not the downsize that was the problem. The problem was the overall physical design. They made matters worse by adding plenty of sticker Cobras on the hood with no performance. Then again, seems every American car maker of that time was slapping stickers on cars to try to increase sales. Another thing that hurt people's perception of the Mustang II was the performance and engine options was on par with GM's cheap Chevy Monza and it's clones with Pontiac, Buick, and Oldsmobile. That means the Mustang II wasn't a Mustang. Mustang was a competitor to the Camaro/Firebird. Ford didn't have a car in that class. What they had was basicly a Ford Focus or a Ford Escort GT, only even cheaper and slower.
You know what's funny? I know damned well your only gripe is the rectangle headlights. Otherwise, they are the same.
