Look like the dusk edition wheels on it. Are they 21s?

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.


..you must not have one to compare w/..that's OK..get a 2014, help the sales(GM will need it to stay on top)

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"
Now that is good common sense what you say Number 3. I bet when this car hits the streets it's going to be looking darn good.

Rear end doesn't hold a candle to the 5th gen and I like the 5th gen front end as well. The 6th front end isn't bad, may grow on me, but all in all, just raised the stock on my value of my 5th gen. I don't believe the Camaro would have made near the comeback it did with that rear end. If they'd have wanted to get toward the 2nd, 3rd and 4th gens, they could have wrapped the lights a bit and triangled them, but these lights look out of place and not suitable for the Camaro. Shame because the demonic look of the 5th gen tail lights is one of best features.

So what is with the hood heat extractor? Does it let in water, dust dirt, etc just dump in the engine compartment? Have not seen a zl1 on the lot yet...

Front end looks like a nascar fail and looks like japannese styling, with the low wide bottom grill area????

Rear lights look like an old Lexus coupe deal...will wait to see more but looks like the 13s are going to fly of the lots...

Meh

Says it all. Meh. It's certainly not the huge revolution they were pimping around in their press release stuff. I'm pretty indifferent to it. Certainly not making me trade.

I'm on my third one thank you very much. I had a very early model. I love the old ones, but I really like this one more. Sorry, I forgot that you're not allowed to have an option that varies from the majority on here.

My humble opinion:

The front looks okay. Definitely growing on me a bit since I first saw the photos. I really need to see it in person to form a full opinion with the chrome lip (I still don't really understand the point of adding that to the mix). The hood vent...meh. Looks kind of cheap to me...almost like an afterthought even, though I do appreciate the functionality of it. I also like the DRL ports and the lower grill that looks like it was borrowed from the Leno Camaro.

The brake lights...wow. All bad. I wish they had kept the same basic shape that they are on the current 5th Gens and "refreshed" them somehow without giving them the "Euro" look. I would mod those in a hurry.

I would just add that this car will be seen by more people who do not now own a Camaro, as most of us do...

...The new buyers are not going to give a rat's ass what the previoius year's Camaro looked like...They would rather have whatever is new, over what it used to look like...

You would be wrong. Cars don't ever go up in value no matter what model comes out ahead of them. Maybe in 50 years ,but I doubt it. Cars today are made to be disposable.

Love the front....hate the rear. Kinda like my ex-wife....

It would definately push me more toward the vette when I get tired of the GT500.
