do you plan on "upgrading" to gen 6
I was thinking about this a few days ago and my answer would be no, no matter what the car looks like. I personally would rather keep customizing my gen 5's apperance/performance rather then having to start all over with the new gen. My car will be payed off in about a year and a half then there will be much more money for mods. I personally have a hard time understanding how people feel comfortable being stuck with car payments all their lives by constantly upgrading cars every few years. I can't wait to be out of this debt and to start modding more heavily so that one day I truely have a unique custom car to my exact liking. I hope that camaro 5 stays strong with members and that the forum is full of modding threads.

I don't think I'll be an early adopter. New platform. And, by the time it's on sale (soon) my 5th gen will still have plenty of life left.

I don't plan on getting a 6th gen. I have too much sentimental value in my vehicles to get rid of them on a regular basis. It's financially smarter in most cases to keep your cars too.

No...
The Gen5 will go down as an iconic car. It signaled the reboot of the true muscle car culture in the US playing of the earlier redesign of the Mustang. Don't think the Gen6 well have the cultural impact the Gen5 had and that's why I think it's going to be the most sought after model after the Gen1 down the line. I'm childless and recently married and fully expect to be driving my grand kids around in this thing.

Time will tell, but I feel the 5th gen is the new 1st gen. Its going to take something real bad ass and not too evolutional for me to make the change. I imagine if I do make a change it will be into a Zo6.

No, I am very happy with my 5th gen. Although may move to my third 5th gen for lower miles.

I won't upgrade right away. But it depends how the 6th Gen looks. All these spie shots make it seem like it hasn't really changed appearance wise, and if that's the case I definitely won't because I already have a 5th Gen!
