That's why I said "some of". That one is definitely excellent.
I'm thinking more along the lines of this Acura-beaked monstrosity. or this Just because one can, doesn't mean one should. |

GAHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOO. All of these "Trans am" "GTO" conversions for the new Camaro are God awful. Eff transam depot....eff them a lot. I hate how every few months someone will post one of these, or buy one from a dealer and say they have a "Trans am." FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Burn them all with fire, then spread the ashes evenly across the continents so they can never re-assemble. Pontiac is dead. Leave them be. 2002 was the last TA and it has been long enough to come to grips with that fact. |

When the production version came out, I was a bit disappointed - but looking again, I'm now quite surprised with how faithful the FRS/GT86 was to this Scion concept. If you exclude the concept-bits which never would've made it to any production car (i.e. those giant wheels completely filling the wheel wells, the crazy rear diffuser), an amazing amount of those character lines (the shoulder, the tail, etc.) made it to production. They should've just taken the taillights from this concept and put them on the refresh (I really dislike the new taillights - even worse than the Altezzas for the first gen). |

I'll be sure to only enjoy "agressive BS" driving from now on and ignore the other things it does very well, such as cruise down the coast quickly with minimal drama. The "girly" front with a Tapout decal would cover the agressive base. |

When the Camaro came back, I always thought it looked more Firebird than Camaro so to me it looked better full on Firebird. I am not crazy about any of the current crop from Trans Am Depot though. The GTO is reaallly bad IMHO.

It's all subjective. I think it's hideous too.

The CB with its' visually higher nose and art-deco inspired faux chrome and oblong shapes evoke a notion of touring, luxury, and comfort. Certainly you can enjoy whatever form of touring you're willing to accept from this car. I encourage you to do so, and if you'd like to mod your car to express those capabilities, mod on brother. Still, few would agree that the CB edition (that suggests Chrysler Crossfire, PT Cruiser, or a Cadillac from the 1950's) expresses little of the original intent or purpose of these modern subcompact inexpensive featherweight 2+2 sportscars. |

Why shouldn't you pick a car based on its looks? If you don't care about the other differences that's really the only thing left. Probably one of the most important things people look at when buying a car
