'69 Camaro SS was as good as it got.
the new retros are nice, and I hope Chevy does well w/ them, but the real deal was better in its day. the new ones are good for kids that missed the '60's, but if you lived 'em, you know the difference from the original muscle car era...
FWIW, I think Buick has done a real good job w/ its new LaCrosse; it's not retro, but more of an American take on a blend of formidable Lexus and Acura stylings... hopefully it will sell well, too. Ford's (re)new Taurus SHO deserves some props, so U.S. autos are looking up.
