I understand why the new Camaros are so hideous.. because Chevrolet is a genius!!

After looking at the pictures today of the new 2014 camaros it finally clicked of why they looked so messed up and hideous.. from the taillights to the front grille.
GM did this on purpose.. I mean why else would they mess up a beautiful car?? Only one reason right?? TO INCREASE THE SALES OF THE CURRENT 5TH GEN.. (especially the v6's) because now everyone is going to want to go out and buy a 5th gen before they stop production of it since there going to switch production over to the refresh.

Chevrolet is sneaky!!

Not everyone shares the same opinion of the new refresh as you do.

How do we know that. Your implying that people would settle for a 5th gen instead they could save up for a 7th gen ZL1

After seeing the new "refresh" and really looking at it I can honestly say I'm SO glad I bought a 2013.

I like the look of the refresh as well as the original 5th Gen. I know I may be one of the very few but I will be buying a new one when they come out. Personally i think there is soooo much bashing of the newer Camaro because everyone is already stuck with high payments and are probably going to be upside down if they trade it in so the only way to make you feel good (or let me rephrase that, make you feel better) about your current car is to bash the newer look one. Thats just my opinion. Either that or there are too many Indians and not enough chiefs.

Not liking the front end or not like the taillights is one thing but to bash the car as a WHOLE is just hating. Just sayin...

Haha.. the 2014 is STILL a 5th gen car.....
I happen to like many aspects of the new style and I'm sure the rest will grow on me after it's released.

Could the change in tail lights be because the 2014 stingray looked similar?

lol wut. it would cost more for them to change their production than any profits they will get by selling off the remainder of their stock.
