Yep, I will admit, I was one of the first to vote like before the rest of the photos showed up and I can't change my vote now..I didn't per say like the front but I didn't hate it. The very first photo actually doesn't look that bad but it is a staged PR pic and that's why it looks ok.

I'm old. I salivated over the 1st '67 and loved the '69 that my 2012 Camaro convertible remind me of. I think Chevy is headed down the same ill-fated road of Ford with the Mustang...they are taking a clean retro design and really mucking it up. Thanks Chevy, you've removed any temptation for me to replace my 2012.

..does look good(from a distance, like littering dealer lots)..positives may be additional incentives to move these, no dealer mark-ups, etc...don't think customers will be lining up to order one, though.

Ugh-lee! Although looks are mostly subjective, I do not see an improvement in the front or rear (or that hood with the cheap looking vent in it)... in-fact the opposite!
Maybe the interior is better, although who cares about the interior? As long as there's pedals and a steering wheel attached to the V8, that's all I need. There really wasn't any reason to do this refresh... the 5th Gen still stands out in a crowd, and I get compliments on mine today just, like the day I bought it back in 2009. Maybe the folks over at GM are hanging out with the political crowd now... you know the guys/gals who continue to pass laws that aren't needed, just to prove that they are doing their jobs? (I'm not necessarily looking at you FbodFather, but couldn't you have stopped this from happening? Remember that sweet photo of my Camaro's grill you have hanging up... this new Camaro wouldn't/couldn't give that same intense look.) On a side note... not digging the changes to the CTS either. Maybe the coupe will still look good, but when something's working well... don't try to fix it!

It's already been said several times that there are no interior upgrades, just software upgrades to Mylink...so stop holding out and waiting for the 'news' tomorrow, you will just be further disappointed.

Anyone thinking this refresh was going to make them run out and trade in their cars had wayyyyyyyyyy too high expectations.
Look at the 2014 Regal and LaCrosse refreshes. None are so significant it would make you want to run trade your car in. But if you are thinking a new car they are fresh enough with enough new content to keep them high on the consideration list. The interior was already freshened so the Camaro gets front and rear fascias and lamps. The back shots from the TV screen shots probably aren't doing it justice. The front actually slims the car a bit IMO. The current car looks chunky from both front and back and this tweak makes the car look a bit sleaker. Now for the chrome? I have to see it in person. Might be a nice accent. For those of you "Harley-Davidson" owners calling it cheap plastic???? Well I'm sure it's up to the standards of all GM exteriors on Cadillacs and Buicks. Give it a chance. We and by that I mean you guys (LOL) are jumping to conclusions without seeing the car live and having all the details. Tomorrow is the reveal. Today was a distraction and it seems to working quite well. I'm sure there a lot of people patting themselves on the back and having a good chuckle. I vote "wait and see the hole story tomorrow"

I'm voting no. The front looks, I don't know, like its squinting. Weird, not stylish nor aggressive.

I can't believe at how quickly you all turn on your beloved GM. First off the Jag stole the show. That thing made the Camaro look like it wasn't even there. That being said. I think the redesign looks FREAKING AWESOME!!. Good job to all of you at GM that reworked this car to make it look this good. It really makes the older models looks dated. I'm sure that's why so many on here are so butt hurt over the new design ,but who cares. These things will sell just fine. I'm really excited to see what the ZL1 is going to look like.
