Agreed - the fourth gens were cool. I have to admit though the Firebird / Trans AM was better looking than the Camaro.

I always thought the fourth gen looked a lot like a sebring

I'm with you Brother.
My 1st Camaro was a 1969 SS (still Wish I Had That 69).
My 2nd Camaro was a 2010 SS.

Hi All,

Wanted a 2016 Camaro SS but did not care for the front of new car, nor the lack of trunk, tight seating...so bought a 2013 low miles 2SS and put 2016 Camaro wheels on. Added old school SS emblems to front fenders and front grill and rear trunk. Removed the gold bowties. Added 1969 look with Drake rear 1/4 fins.

bigger seats and much more comfy. 2013-15 SS looks mean

Looks great with the 2016 wheels. After seeing the '16 on roads, I do think the gen 5 has more presence. The '16 looks kind of ordinary in the metal.

I agree, gen6 has lost the look that came from the 69 Camaro. My Gen5 is small enough and I really wouldn't like it to be smaller.

Gen6 is a good looking car just different.

The Gen6 just looks awkward, GM certainly has moved it forward in terms of technology and the overall (smaller) platform offers improvement. I am pleased to own my Gen5 1LE, it delivers in all areas that concern me, especially nailing it on LOOKS and at a significantly lower cost to play

Seriously though, I don't understand the bashing that occurs among GM owners. V6 vs V8 bash each other's engines, 2010-13 vs 2014-15 bash each other's taillights & 5th generation vs 6th generation bash each other's models.
I'm on a Corvette forum & today they were bashing the Camaro, more specifically the 6th generation, to the point that they genuinely suggested getting a Mustang instead of a Camaro.
They're all great vehicles & we each simply purchase what we prefer.

I miss Letterman too, especially the more cranky side of Letterman back in the early '90's. The Cher and Madonna episodes are treasured classics.

Those Corvette guys are just as bad as everyone else. They're threatened by the fact that the 6th gen SS is almost as quick as they are. However, if you really want to be treated like dirt scum, try driving an early C4 Corvette around town and see how much respect you get. You might as well be driving a Mustang or even some Honda Civic according to them. It's a shame, really.

Yes, they are all great vehicles. However, I'm glad I was able to pick a brand new 5th gen when I was able to. The 6th gen offers mind blowing performance, but the styling doesn't quite do it for me especially in comparision to the simply beautiful, gorgeous 5th gen design. I just wish GM would have went more in the direction of retro styled 2nd gen F-body design on the 6th gen. But, it's all good.

Thanks and I agree.
