Enjoyable truth: Vehicles are, most of the time, manufactured by automobile corporations. These corporations like to save cash, in order that they’ll usually share as many components as doable between autos — inside parts, lights, even complete physique panels. However when two automobiles share an excessive amount of, they begin wanting suspiciously twinlike.
The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86, the Acura Integra and Honda Civic, just about something Normal Motors has ever made — all kinds of autos have twins. In the present day, although, we need to work out which twins are simply plain higher than their siblings.
My tackle automotive twins is a bit controversial, however I’ll come proper out and say it: For any given 12 months, the Pontiac Firebird is a greater automobile than the Chevrolet Camaro. In design, in unquantifiable cool issue, the Firebird wins out each time.
For one, the beaked nostril appears higher than any Camaro — even the ‘68, the Camaro’s best-looking 12 months. The title, too, is an enchancment. Loads of listings promote a “Camaro” on the market, however would anybody misspell Firebird? Is there a cooler-sounding automobile title on planet Earth? I didn’t suppose so.
We don’t even must get into the product placement of each autos, evaluating the fashionable “Transformers” movies to “Smokey and the Bandit or Knight Rider.” Y’know why the reboot of the latter failed? As a result of it didn’t have a Firebird in it.
I feel the Pontiac Firebird deserves the highlight over its Chevy Camaro twin, however which pair of automotive siblings do you suppose has such a transparent rating? Depart your solutions under, and I’ll comb by way of the outcomes later this week to focus on my favorites.
