I've never seen a '14-'15 model either. I don't think it would be difficult for a company to make a mold. The front and rear just have to be changed. The rest of the body (and interior) are the same.

Women tend to have lower EQ. Obviously, this is not always the case. IE: redneck men (It is a camaro forum after all lol)

I don't think the tail lights look bad it's the diffuser and around the license plate area that ruins it for me. I think as a whole the 10-13 looks better all flows together just my opinion

Way to blow it Camaro

It shouldn't have to grow on you. It should have matured, aged and made you think this car is awesome and more aggressive looking then its predecessors. Lost aggressiveness looking like a Camry smh.
face palm.

It looks like they are playing it safe with a family oriented chick car.

I think the 2010-2013 are trying to look more corvette then camaro
Don't insult the '69! Had they not wrapped the light around into the rear quarter, I would be with you. It is that fact, not the bar style that hurt the appearance of the car, and in my opinion, made the '13 and older Gen 5's have a more retro look.

So...everyone can just settle down. That wasn't the point of this post, but herrrrrrre we go.

No you said they were "ugly"... not a smart way to ask for help here.

I too preferred the '14-15 taillights as they look more like a '69 Camaro but I like both and do think the early taillights are what made the Gen5 so popular. I have a '13 as a got a crazy deal. Let's just be happy we had a choice cause people seem to love one over the other.

Just think of it as a Shadow Box for vanity license plate or custom plate frame ;-) Wow having it backlit really does make it stand out in that shot -- handles those big overseas plates without needing a mod.
Back to topic, kids are more in to video games these days and not building car models; that may have a lot to do with choices available.

Opinions are like you know what. Everyone has one and mine is that the 14-15 models got it right.

Haters gonna hate.
