I LOVE IT!  It may be an automatic right now, but that will change.

That ram's horn insignia in the middle of the cowl there seems to interfere with the flow of the racing stripes.

It should be eliminated.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

How about you shoot yourself and then buy one for me?  It's a win-win.

I think the novelty will wear off within a few months.

At least they have attempted to move with the times with the Camaro.  This is just a carbon copy.

Thus the problem with the modern information era, when people get to find things out years earlier than they used to, and get jaded even though it's not the fault of the companies making whatever product is being discussed.

You know, it really looks pretty nice when it's not covered in that cartoonishly-bright orange paint.

This car seems to be a unique brute, I like it.  The interior looks like Chrysler pillaged the parts bin but it's functional looking. 

This wheel looks much nicer and they should have kept the ribbed column too.
