Opinions on the new 2014 camaro look? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Battlezone580 · 09-03-2014, 10:31 PM

I just wanted to see what everyone's opinions were on the new 14 camaro's.

I just bought my 2012 used ss about 2 months ago with only 7,300 miles. I was thinking of buying the 2014 camaro but I just couldn't get past the small grill and back lights!

I dont know a smaller grille on a muscle car just doesn't make sense to me. My opinion really isn't biased because I could have bought a 2014 camaro.

I still think the 2014 camaro's are sick and look good I just want to see what everyone else thinks

Sales #'s don't lie. Sales are up over 9% from the previous year. I've seen more Camaro's this year than last year, and most of them have been the refresh model.

You know that's a great point, I have seen a lot of new camaro's recently, so maybe its just me!

Hopefully no one takes my thread the wrong way as I said 2014 camaro's still look sick, I just like the old style a bit more :p.

I like the new 14+ models much better.

luckynuts · 09-03-2014, 10:40 PM

I've got one of each and I have to admit the '14 looks better everytime I see it.

I like how on the 2014 model's they got rid of the "hub caps". Also I will say the spoilers look better on the new models.

Idk if anyone noticed but on the 2010-13 camaro's the base rims were really ugly :O!

I can't vote since I own a 2014. I will say the front end looks more aggressive. The small grille and larger lower grille is based off of the ZL1 research. IMHO I like the RS tail lights over the non RS tail lights. Remember these Camaros are well engineered from front to back. Everything has a purpose!!

Q'smuscle · 09-03-2014, 10:44 PM

Hahaha.... Well the 14s do seem cheaper and GM is advertising the crap out of them ! The 10-13's got like 1 limited time commercial a year ! Plus ppl not me like the small less muscle car front and grill ! Just look at all the cars and the Toyota Avalon.Almost the same! But it's all about what the buyer wants and likes! I won't say anything bad about the 14's! It's all love !

Yea true they did a great job advertising this year!

And so true I love all Camaro's and I would be perfectly okay with a 2014. And so true you have to buy what you like best.

Millertime555 · 09-03-2014, 10:51 PM

Personally I like the '10-'13s better, mainly the taillights. The '14s look cheap in my opinion, mainly the taillights and rear diffuser. And the front of the '14s just feels like it's missing something... like the other row of the grill.

Yea , But the challengers would be very tempting! Ok , I'm lying! I want the muscle look with my muscle car so if the 14 and 15's was the only 5th Gens made , I would have to get that muscle looking challenger! That's why GM did a great job because some want a sporty looking Camaro and some want a muscle looking one!

CruisingSpeed · 09-03-2014, 11:09 PM

Chop it in half. Give me the 2014 RS front end and I'll keep the 13 back end.

Give me an extra 25k to buy a new 1LE then I'll vote for the 14 refresh.
Guess what?...

Prelude... He he he!!

InsanityStrikesAgain · 09-03-2014, 11:13 PM

I have a 14' so obviously I like it, I agree to a point with Qsmuscle about the muscle look, I don't think the refresh was intended to look muscular IMO, I think they took design cues from when they were trying to increased their European exposure, the design of the taillights look like a wrap around stretched version of the euro camaro lights and added plate space with the diffuser...seems like they focused more on a sleek aggressive look not a muscular one...which is ok its a refresh so it shouldn't look like the 10-13s . Sales figures aside it's a great car, and a lot of people agree...as far as cheap or looking cheap sounds more like a small tantrum than a opinion that should be taken seriously. 2 cents.
