When you spend some time in person with the new look I am betting most current owners will come to see the car as many of us that were at the unveil.
Tom is amazing. He loves the 5th Gen as much as the most avid 5th Gen owner. The restyle brings to the showroom a number of styling cues they would have liked to include on the original. After speaking with Tom I am incredibly confident that the 6th Gen will take the Camaro to a new level of excellence. I wish everyone could have attended the debut and met with the Camaro TEAM. It was a great experience and I am grateful to have been included.

I am glad Tom is a nice guy, but I disagree with your view completely. The front fascia is significantly different, and alot of people (not nearly all, but alot), like it. People dont seem to have to get used to the front (in general). Very few people seem to like the new rear fascia. Alot hate it. Some think it is OK but not as good as the previous. Some say it will grow on them (which I really think means they dont like it but will learn to live with it because they like Camaros), and a relatively small percentage like it better.
I think they just messed up. People like the older rear better. To most people it is just a better style. Why does Tom think people want their car blacked out halfway up with a diffuser? It doesn't look good on the C7 Corvette and it doesnt look good on the refresh 5th Gen Camaro either.
