I think the front is OK....looks better from certain angles, but front on isn't the best. I think it will look better on the road.

As for the rear....it may be a throw back to the original, but I do not like it at all. A step down in attractive design for sure. Damn Corvette team stole what should have been the natural evolution of the Camaro rear end design....I will say that for years to come. Now the Camaro team has to go elsewhere.

Same ranting that was done about the 2010 Camaro hate the front, hate the tail lights.......when the 6th gen comes out I bet you will hear some of the same complaints about it... Human nature I guess...

I followed the 2010 Camaro well before release and had one of the first in my area.

I don't remember much hate at all. I just remember pure joy to be honest. The car was damn close to the concept which everyone LOVED.

The 5th gen was a striking new design that instantly drew crowds around it. I remember seeing the very first one in my area before I had mine. It was in the very back of a huge wal-mark parking lot. No cars around it, but people were stopping to take pictures and gawking at it. I've never seen anything like it for a car the average person can own.

I hope the 6th gen has success similar to this. In my opinion...the design is one of, if not the most important aspect of the car.

But you are right...it is human nature to resist change.

I do remember lots of complaints about the Corvette like tail lights and the buck toothed grill on the forum. Maybe I am remembering comments about the concept.
My 2010 was loved out in the real world, even when people didn't know it was mine all I heard was what a great looking car it was. I am sure the general public will feel the same about these new Camaros.

RS headlights are ugly and lets say I was ordering a Camaro. I would opt for the halogens because it looks MUCH better!
Z28 front end and side profile looks great actually. The wheels look like those off an X6 but guess they're light. And the rear end is fn retarded. I don't know why they did what they did. All they had to do a is put the tails in a harder angle and they would've been done. The amount of plastic in the back is horrid.
Don't really know what to say
SS/RS front end is ugly. But clearly only needs stock headlights and a different grill. The chrome strip is hideous but thank god there's plastidip

It's kind of funny because this is exactly what I was saying about the last revision to the Mustang. They ruined it with the back end.

I still think anyone who got a 2010 lucked out. Best design and no ugly backup sensors. I'm not complaining, this just pacifies any urge I might have had to upgrade

Lol different strokes I suppose. You're the first person I've ever heard say that. All my buddies around here think they destroyed it.

That's certainly interesting, pretty much everyone that I've asked loves the new rear taillights. The front, now that I'm not very fond of. Kind of liked the old style more but it is what it is lol. Now that doesn't mean I don't like the older style either, I wouldn't mind either but I just like the rear taillights and the way they look at night.
