About the only real "refresh" I like is the fog light openings. They look better than the round openings.

Overall I think it looks pretty good! But...it's getting into certain details where I might not like it quite as much as what is currently out there.

1.) NO way would I want a strip of chrome on my front bumper/grille if I bought a Summit White...which I would do again in a heartbeat.

2.) Looks like there will be no more Heritage grille. Or ZL1 grille. Or phantom grille (which is one of my favorite parts of my car).

3.) IMO, not every Camaro should come with that heat extractor on the hood. I think some might look good with it on but if you're going for a "clean" look or an all body color look it doesn't fit that look. Maybe it would look good if it were body colored? Maybe that is just an option?

Either way those are just minor details. Overall I think looking at it from the front it looks pretty aggressive!

The main grill/headlight area doesn't look bad, but the painted bumper area between the upper and lower grills looks awkwardly big now.

The hood vent looks like a cheap add on... at least on the C7 the lines of the hood help integrate it (but still sticks out IMO).

The tail-lights are the ones from the Euro-spec Camaro (if someone hasn't already pointed that out) so I would expect the bumper to be pretty similar.

I will be interested to see if there are any interior changes and what changes will be made to the ZL1 since it already looks great to me.

So far I'm still happy with my 2011
taillights are not the same as the previous euro spec, similar but more rectangular!

Horrible. Love the spoiler and lower grille but that's it.

Looks almost as bad as the femine looking mustangs now. Glad it's still faster, but curious to see how much MORE faster they will get with tomorrows reveal.

So.... for the automatic SS models there was no mention of the 400hp L99... yet.
it says delivering up to. i'm assuming the l99 is part of that.

the only thing i like is the thinner front grille the logo sits on.

the hood vent and rear lights are just dismal.

i do like the grill though, but you can get a similar look with the grille replacements available now.

I'd open my wallet, for a crate LS7. I would not upgrade to a Z28 with that styling.

I agree. Looks good to me. It'll grow on people. Happens all the time with vehicle changes. After people see this car on the streets for a while it will start to look good. Looks good to me now.
