The stuff they are doing to the front of the production car gives me a feeling I have coined a phrase for: I call it the "Greedo Shoots First" feeling. It might be an obscure reference for some of you but it sums up the embarassing feeling I get from that busy nose. It's NOT a nose I would be proud to be driving around with.
I agree that I've run across people so happy just to have anything new in the Camaro world they would accept an Aveo with a V8 and say it was the best looking Camaro ever, which sort of clouds the issue and doesn't give realistic feedback from the fanbase. I feel the extreme opposite feeling and want to give the proper voice to those of us who want the Camaro to be perfect out of the box and won't just lap up whatever comes out and convince ourselves it's great just because it says "Camaro" on the badge.
Apologies to those who worked on these cars, I just think you missed the targer (concept) style on these changes. It looks like a comittee designed the front and it utterly lacks the timeless look of the concept. In 5 years it will look as dated as the Ford Probe does now.
Please rethink these modifications. Thanks.

these are literally my exact sentiments....the concept was perfect...and the guys building the car should be careful not to take at full face value the praise of camaro enthusiasts because they are biased and don't represent the general buying crowd...i am a camaro and muscle car lover and the f-bods have been my favorite but it won't stop me from critiquing what i feel is a work in progress and no where near what my final vision nor what the concept had...its not like its un-salvageable as it definitely looks good in current form but it sure ain't timeless like the concept
