The nose on the Nationwide NASCAR Camaro has had this same grill and hood since it was unveiled last year. (Only the nose... I know the rest is templated... I'm only refering to the grill and hood)

Muscle Car Design vs Mellowing Out

Signals from the past. No predictions regarding engine packages. But the "design" doesn't reflect as much "muscle" as the last 4 years has. They could have added more functional rear qtr gills (and they may have a surprise in store for us tomorrow). While the C7 Vette has gotten "sharper lines" with less body bulk (that is what they are going for now, isn't it?)... they are prepping us for the same trend in Camaro. I just hope it doesn't go too far.

The "signals" remind us, as some have stated, of the following...... lowering my expectations a bit. Maybe they will still over deliver.

I think the V6 will look good, We wont see the V6 or the ZL1 facias in New York but they must have changed as well.

Lets face it everyone on here has changed something on their car that they don't like, that's the joy of modding, right?. So you may not like it for what it is but you have to think about what it COULD be. I will be interested to see what mods people come up with because something tells me a few people will be biting their tongue once people start modding the 2014s.
I agree with you to a certain extent. The 5th generation is a magnificent car all around, when it comes to modding I think most people change to something they think looks better but not because the factory one looks bad. In this case i see a lot of people changing parts on a 6th gen because that certain part is just plain hideaous.

I know they're showing the SS, but hoping the press release info will have pics of the other models.

Nose Looks good, but not the hood. Reminds of what they did in the mid 80's z28 hood.But it appears to be just a refresh to say its different

Love the functionl hood vent - it gets pretty hot under there. Hate the tail lights.

I think the front lower grill now looks dis-proportionally huge when comparing upper and lower. visually not appealing to me Don't really like it.
