But wouldn't it be funny if the V6 is not changing at all, keeping the same front and rear look as before so that is why we haven't seen one yet....
I think it has been mentioned the V6 is keeping the current hood.

You may be right, actually...My understanding is the new grille and lower grille were changed so the air-flow would actually make the hood heat-extractor vent functional....

Sorry I disagree. Look, nobody here is saying that GM doesn't work hard on the Camaro, or that they haven't made improvements over the years, or that they just plain don't listen to us. We love the Camaro, and if we didn't think it was a great car we wouldn't have bought it. All we are saying is that we don't like the changes, and honestly, if that how most people feel, GM needs to know. The 5th gen has done so well because of its fantastic looks....not because of its performance. I don't care what anyone says...if the Camaro was not attractive it would still be dragging behind the Mustang in sales.

The 5thGen Camaro had it's day in the sun for styling and public demand...now it's more in the hands of the engineers more so from now on...just my humble opinion...all good...no worries...They know they got a good thing going, and they aren't gonna kill it...A little blip on the screen now and then isn't a deal breaker.... |

I don't like the tail lights either, how ever the LED on the rs will make it a little more appealing. I like the front end better. How ever the hood vent looks cheap and plastic but a great feature.

I think the designers got it right the first time around, if it ain't broke, don't fix it clearly applies here. I understand GM's need to freshen things up so they don't get stale and lose sales, I just think they went about it in the wrong way. I am still very happy with my 2011 SS.
