That link, for some reason now, doesn't take me to the photo I first
saw. The photo I saw was a white Camaro SS with a black side stripe,
and view only showed the front clip. In that pic I first saw, the car
looked great.
These six photos (red Camaro SS) however are.. being nice... much less
flattering.
Dislikes:
1) That rear spoiler should be ground up and turned into a park bench.
2) Same for the angular side ground effects.
3) The taillights and ass-end view of the car is horrible.
4) From a straight-on side view, the rear quarters aren't balanced
with the front half of the car -- they're too thick.
Likes:
1) From a straight-on side view, cover up the back-half of the car/
begining of the rear quarter panels on back. The front 2/3s, from
this view, IMO, looks terrific.
2) Again, from a straight-on side view, the minimal front overhang/in
front of the front tires, is awesome.
3) I like the grill.
4) Side glass shape looks good.
Reserving final judgment until I see it in person. Photos don't
always do a design justice.

While I'm disappointed with the weight of the car, I have to agree.
The Challenger is spot on! It's obvious they sweat every detail.
Even the exhaust note -- they made the car as loud as possible. It
barely met standards.
Final grade: A -
Oh, and did you hear the standard Hemi gets 370 ponies this
year?
