At long last, the Camaro has finally made it back onto the scene after a long hiatus. Many of you probably saw it a long time ago in the 2007 Transformer movie but its only made it to production now. I guess late is better than never. 2010 Chevrolet Camaro vs 2010 Ford Mustang 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS is shown. A face that now seems so familiar after the concept debuted as Bumblebee all the way back in 2007. The styling is mean and aggressive, definitely the "don't eff with me" style. Although it looks fresh today, the Mustang was redesigned with the retro look in 2005. 2010 Ford Mustang GT is shown. The new mustang looks similar to the last generation but the subtle differences go a long way. The retro look is still there but sleeker and modernized. The aggressive look continues from front to back with the large flat hood and the large rear fenders. Only the SS version includes the hood that is pictured. The Mustang GT adds the fog lights and a new bumper compared to the V6 model. It helps the look recalling the old Shelbys of the 1960s. The Camaro's similiarity to the original isn't as obvious as the Mustang, which can be a good thing. The Camaro looks more like a car styled after the classic 1967 Camaro than merely a remake of it. The profile looks nice except for the rear side windows. It looks like they just drew them in last second. There is an accessory that puts louvers over them which look great but hinder visibility. Strong lines continue all the way to the back. I know it's suppose to be retro but it looks like they could've done without the slits on the rear fender. The character lines really give it a unique look unlike any other car on the road today. The taillights are a new design with the backup lights in between the brake lights. The taillights actually light up one at a time on each side as a turn signal. It's actually quite interesting to watch. This is where retro styling should sometimes stop, or at least not go so far. The Camaro interior recalls the original but does it really need to go this far? The speedometer and tachometer look like Wall-E and the four gauges by the shifter don't help either. The Mustang interior on the other hand, looks amazing. The symmetrical design is still there from the original but updated to where it looks tasteful in the 2000s, not just the 1960s like the Camaro. Note: The Mustang comes in numerous trims with the V6 model having a different front fascia and no fog lamps. A Shelby version is also available that also has a different front fascia.
