It's a good looking car, but I really wish the auto industry would stop being so self-referential.

I agree.
Take a look at the interior, it is like nothing I have other seen.

I did read that there will be a difference in the interior between the concept car and the production model....I am sure that is the norm

Okay, yeah, it looks like a 1960s Camaro. But..why not? The 1960s Camaro is a classic American car and you really shouldn't mess with success. Porsche didn't mess with the 911 shape once they found out they had a winner. In fact, they really didn't mess with it at all for about 30 years, and then only made one minor adjustment to lessen the drag. They've even retouched the 997 series in order to make it look more like the original 911.
For the big three to have any success, they need to remember what Europeans have known for years: If it ain't broken, don't fix it. Europeans know that once you hit on a classic design, you do just enough to keep it modern without compromising the integrity of the original design in order to engender loyalty. I hope that the return of two classic American designs in the Mustang and Camaro means GM has figured this out.

Another nice looking, loser car from the Big 3.
Look, maybe some youngster and mid-60s boomers will buy this car. But the basis of the world population, you know, people with families, ain't buying this car.
In other words, Toyota ain't Toyota because of the Celica. It's Toyota because of the Camry and Corolla.

Youngsters and mid-60s boomers have disposable income to spend on toy cars - they're the demographic that buys sports cars. Period.
And it's not like Chevy doesn't have a whole host of new models. By your logic, every serious car company shouldn't have a sports car. I'll go tell Mercedes!

I'd look into buying one and I don't fit into either category. I was always a fan of the late 60s firebird/camero. it is a classic. At 42, I have a family car(SUV) and a sedan. I am currently looking at buying something for my wife and I to have fun with on the weekends. I am looking at a mitsubishi spyder or a mustang. its all about me now;) I doubt I will hold off 2 years for this to come out, but there is always a trade in!

Technically, the boomer generation ended in '64, so I'm one year off.
I'm getting a Mini Cooper S.

So it is OK if Mini Cooper revisits its roots but there is a problem if GM or Ford do it? Honestly, just wondering.

Exactly, there are plenty of examples of foreign and domestic automakers trying to blow new life into old designs. Hell if it's a beautiful car design, why not? Just a small list of car companies that make use of this practice:
Jaguar
Volkswagen
Porsche
BMW
Jeep
Toyota
Ford
GM
Lamborghini (if the 'new' Miura goes through)
At this point it's silly to get worked up about any car company that does it.
