I have a 2010 and the 2014 has grown on me everyday I look at them on this forum. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has grown fond of the refresh. I can wait to take delivery of mine at the end of the month. Just my $0.02

It does come around the corners a bit like a '74-'76, but looks way more like a '69 with the overall design.

The '10-'13 looks like a '70-'73 IMHO....and I didn't buy till '14 because of the taillights.

I see it as marketing brilliance on GM's part. Sell design "a" for a few years, then swap to design "b" for a few years. Doesn't really matter in what order. The people that like the '14 lights would have purchased sooner and the people that like the '10-'13 would have purchased now....

No doubt. The 14s have grown on me a ton, as long as it's the RS tails.

Hahaha ..... Yup! GM is in the business to make money not lose money! But to make some happy they do what they always do, Which is refresh their cars!

So you sacrifice the Retro front over the many Gen looking taillights? And I'm guessing you wasn't going to buy a 5th Gen , if they didn't make the 14's?

Agreed. Looks better with the RS package which I ordered on mine.

Thing is at night, I can't tell a difference. But also just think they got it perfect from 10-11.

The 2014 tails must have been an alternate concept..

They didn't have to change the qtrs, just the bumper cover.

I'm pretty sure the front of my car still looks like a Camaro. At least that's what I feel is implied when random people say "Wow, nice Camaro". I liked the 5th gens from day one, just didnt "love" them. Not enough to trade my truck for anyway. I was close on a 45th SS, even closer when the '13 1LE came out, but when the '14 1LE dropped, game over, had to have it. If it wasn't for the refresh, I most likely would have waited till the 6th Gen. I'm a Pontiac guy, so a Camaro has to really blow me away to make me actually plan out buying one.
