I enjoy the retro design thing, actually. There are a lot of really cool old cars out there, and I don't think there's anything wrong with taking a long, hard look at what design principles made some particular car a classic and then reintroducing those same principles with a more modern flair to them. I'm not familiar with the Camero stylings of yore, but the strong angular muscular appearance looks good. I dig the whisps off the wheel-wells, the exaggerated rear haunches, and the slim snout on the hood.
If you're dealing with a brand which has some particular lineage, there's nothing wrong with staying true to that lineage and borrowing things from its past. It invokes a sense of nostalgia and draws upon its past reputation. The only time it's a bad thing is when the new product doesn't live up to its predecessors.
