How about a thread where those of you artistically inclined offer up your rendition of what the 14 refresh could have been? Rules are you must submit front and rear with no chrome anywhere.
Sure, give me a couple of days...

As other bright members have mentioned most can't handle change and they will knock what they don't have or won't have. Only thing I can agree with the haters is that the V6 models look pretty bad compared to the SS models shown at different auto shows around the country. GM has stated clearly that they wanted to differentiate between the models and honestly I'm happy with that decision. Gen 4 V6s looked terrible compared to the SS model and it's going to be the same for the 14-15 model. I can not wait to see a 14 SS 1LE in Summit White ... That hood is gonna look amazing for sure. Everyone that keeps hating on the 14s go google some SS/ Z/28 pics and start drooling cuz once you see one pass you then reality will kick in. And as someone else mentioned it's pretty funny that a lot of people defend the 10-13 models when most people are trying to find ways to mod the looks on them. I say everyone give the new SS/ZL1/ Z/28s a chance to come out then judge. Those pictures are garbage V6 models which are disturbing to say the least.

Despite the RS badge and unique RS front grille on the Ashen Gray mule, it does not wear the full RS Exterior Appearance Package (without the RS bumper that we saw on the 2014 Camaro revealed at the NYIAS).

The Crystal Red is a V6 non-RS and shows the standard (non-RS) grille.
That front grill with that god awful chome looking strip is just horrible no matter how you look at it.... I thought newer models were suppose to improve on the previous years cars. But that is just awful. It kills the looks of the entire front end.

It reminds me of someone that came from the dentist with braces on their teeth or some rappers chome grill over their teeth.

the haters lmao coming from some one who has never had a camaro maybe if you had the 10-13 one you would see why ppl don't like the new one.. so you can't talk bad about ppl that own the 10-13 model for not liking it unless you have had it and can look at it everyday.. now the z/28 is a different story cause of the body kit wheels and everything else lol

So a Z/28 is going to pass me by? How many do you think you will actually see on the road? It will be limited numbers and a track car. I barely see any ZL1's or even 1LE's so the chances of seeing a Z/28 will be slim to none. People aren't hating on 14's because were jealous or resist change the fact for some and including myself is they look like shit. If i want one i can easily trade my 12' in for one but that won't happen any time soon. The only mods i did was change out the tiny stock rear spoiler for a Havoc rear spoiler. I can see people changing alot more parts on the 14's than a 10'-13' Any ways good luck with your soon to be ugly ass 14'

The exhaust looks better from the back without the two toaster shaped mufflers. I'm OK, just OK, with the design and 90% of the public won't even realize there is a difference. The only big negative I have is the position of the fog lights. Remeber in the 70s the front and rear changed every single year. I loved the Endura bumper on my '71 Formula Firebird and the split bumper Camaro SS is among my all time favorite cars. The 5th gen '10-'13 will become a classic and is near pefection. A lot of time went into the design and I believe they nailed it so any changes just for the sake of a "refresh" will never look as good as the orignal design.

So the design team saw a Honda Prelude and said... "yea... that will work just fine".

OK nonRS bumper but RS on the grille and trunk. I don't get it.
I actually like the rear end but that nose makes me cringe.

Not that anyone cares but I like the refresh and the more I see it, the better it looks. To me, the refreshed Camaro is a more futuristic version of what I had in my 2010. Sure, I love the tail lights/rear end of the current version but the new one is very appealing in a different way. Chrome strip on the front? Indifferent. If I don't like it when I get a 14 then I'll remove it/paint it, etc. Since I don't currently own a Camaro (sold my 2010 last September) I will be in the market again soon. With the exception of the new Vette (or a really stupid deal on a 13), I am not looking at any other vehicle. While my needs are for a daily driver, I am also very interested in the Z/28 (a bit of sound proofing, etc and that might do the trick...). Regardless, I've enjoy reading all the comments but I am surprised by all the "HATE" vs a simple "not a fan yet", etc. Final comment/question... I've seen pix of 3 different versions. Is it possible that one is a V-6, one is a TT V-6 (hence the dual exhause) and then one is the V-8 (SS).

There is no TTV6 in the 5th gen. It just has the NPP exhaust.

an SS line like this would be cool. A V6 line like this would be better.
