To me a smaller Camaro would not be ready till 2016 as a 2017 model.
Camaro is moving to Lansing late 2015 -- no ifs ands or butts, that would mean the 6th Gen Camaro must be a 2016 MY... they can't continue building the 5th gen Camaro at the Lansing plant.

It looks like the 4th gen guys are coming back in the style dept. Sad... I had hoped they were tossed out with the bankruptcy. They started screwing it up with the '13 wheels. Now this. Very sad ... Hopefully the 6th gen will get here fast so there will not be too many of these atrocities on the road. Yes I said that out loud.
You lost your credibility when you said you loved your 3rd gen -- the red headed step child of the ugly duckling in the Camaro family. The 93-97 4th gen is one of the best looking gens Chevy has made.










On a separate note -- the interior picture shows that this Camaro does in fact have a sunroof, that's why we don't see the inverted mohawk in the pictures.

I like the rear and hate the front other than the hood vent....but with the reveal I am 10000% happy I have the OG c5 production run, 2010

I will continue with my long wait list of performance mods (in the months-yrs to come)

It's okay...doesn't make me want to replace mine though. The front looks pretty good except the lower grille opening is just too big. They're making that same mistake on the new Stingray too. Apparently this is a new trend-of-the-day styling gimmick.

This is the new 2014 stingray as-is:

This is what I would have liked to have seen for the front grille:
Name:  Corvette_C7_001a.jpg

Just a bit smaller, classier and less of a sawzall-attacks-front-of-car look.

I'm not crazy about the new tail lights on this Camaro refresh; the new rear spoiler looks pretty nice though. I actually liked the 5th gen tail lights and just wish they'd gone with the afterburner look like the concept car had. These new tail lights look like a corporate committee got involved in the design; nothing bold or exciting unfortunately.

This refresh is "okay"... it'll probably spark some sales; especially for the V6 which got a nice uptick in hp. I'm disappointed they didn't raise the V8 hp the same way. 450 hp would have been nice.

Glad this isn't the style the Z/28 is going to be. I REALLY hope they break away from "me too" styling trendiness for the 6th gen Camaro and stick to the heart of what a Camaro is; wild and untamed, the way they did with the 5th gen concept/production car. AND get somebody with some guts who'll pick some bold exciting colors for the next gen cars.

The upper console looks a bit different where the dome light and rear view mirror are. New technological features?

Man, I really love my 45th Vert! Not a fan of this refresh. Maybe I need to see it in person...

Overall I like it. I'm reserving judgement on the rear end until I see a clear high-res pic on it. That spoiler looks kind of odd to me in the pix. I'm REALLY looking forward to what they ZL1 will end up looking like. Heck I'm lookin forward to what the V6s will look like too since they usually have a different nose

The K&M LIVE! website says that the hood with the heat extractor is only for the SS model.

Suprised more aftermarket vendors haven't chimed in. They have got to be jumping for joy, with all the new aftermarket parts that instantly became money makers for them! They were starting to run out of ideas on how you could change your Camaro to make it look different from all the other 2010-2013's.

Ouch, this wasn't the direction I thought it was going to take. I like the tapered look of the headlights, but the grille area is much to small. At least they squared off the fog light housing finally. The taillights are gigantic, and I have mixed feelings about them. I'm happy I don't have the "new" refresh Camaro, I'll tell you that. I don't know if this car will boost sales. If people were looking to purchase a Camaro now, I'd simply tell them to wait for the next generation.
