I get it, you don't like it and we all deserve our opinions so that is fine, there are a lot of valid reasons to not like it but "it is the same car" is not one.
I promise you that if you de-badged them and had someone who has never driven either drive them that they wouldn't think they are the same car...in any way except for them both having bad visibility, lol.
Again, not saying that it is superior or that there is anything at all wrong with 5th gens, I am just giving my opinion from a perspective of actually having owned and driven both....not just guessing without actually driven a 6th gen.

Because everyone is instantly going to be able to tell the car has a different frame.
Please get off your pedestal and think you have the be-all, end-all opinion because you own a 6th gen. I've sat in, ridden in, and driven enough 6th gens up to this point to be able to form a valid opinion, and I think they are extremely similar cars to the 5th gen from an overall feel and experience standpoint. I've also taken my 5th gen close to it's absolute limits in many aspects to be able to create a very valid benchmark. I LOVE the interior of the 6th gen, but I didn't buy my Camaro for the interior.
30HP is also not a huge difference, and a manual is still a manual. I wouldn't buy an automatic, so any differences there are irrelevant to me, and do nothing for me. Trust me, the car I want most right now is a Cayman GT4, and I'm ALL ABOUT the European looks and handling capabilities, but the 6th gen's looks are sub-par at best to me. The hood is too rounded, the front looks like some sort of fish, and the rear looks like a Camry. Pictures, in person, doesn't matter, my opinion hasn't changed. I'm usually upgrading handling before anything, because autocross is extremely fun. But is it enough of a difference to warrant taking a $20k hit and spending $50k? Hardly. Let's face it too, handling is obviously a huge factor to people right now, because the Z/28 is totally dominating the Hellcat in sales.
