So happy I got a first version 5th Gen...

Ghost1LE · 03-27-2013, 08:50 AM

The only reason I'm not complaining is because I just got a 2013, so glad I don't have ANY urge to upgrade with the changes they've made.

I think all the people on here who say were just resistant to change couldn't be more wrong, the front and rear just look BAD, I wish I could say otherwise cause I love Camaros and would only like to see it improved upon.

I think the tail lights will look better in person, I like them.

snizzle · 03-27-2013, 08:53 AM

I just can't get over the Walmart door edge molding on the front. I know it's an easy fix but just no.

When I look at this pic it looks much better than the one on the tv show. JMO

Camaro5 represents the more enthusiastic end of the Camaro owner spectrum, so maybe there is fear that widening the car's appeal too far distills too much out of the car for the people who have been faithful to it.

I hope it does.

Norm

To be fair - Camaro5 represents the more enthusiastic end of the 2010+ Camaro owner spectrum. There's plenty of Camaro enthusiasts who did not like the 5th gen and/or are not on this site.

I'm still on the fence with this one. The car will still sell just fine. But I think the HEX hood vents look better than that, and they should have either gone with a similar style, or a wider extractor. The tail lights are eh. Don't love em or hate em. I would definitely have to plasti-dip that chrome lip though...

Drew10 · 03-27-2013, 09:07 AM

Slap a Z-28 badge on the fender and a 5.3 ltr under the hood and 1/3 of the people on this site would throtepunch their grandma to over pay for it. Either way people will buy it. I can't say it gives me a tingle in my pants, but I don't hate it either.

if they wanted to wow us, they should have debuted the LS/LT version on the talk show so some of us could have hope for the reveal today...the SS is the top of the line model for most people because they can't justify/afford 58K for a ZL1. I have been won over instantly by every single nuance of change since the 2006 debut(hot wheels, ZL1, 1LE, Dusk, etc) it made them all slightly different yet distinguishable from the others. To say I am resistant to change is an ignorant statement.

Failure is NOT an option.

GRAHL · 03-27-2013, 09:19 AM

Don't those tail lights look TOO big and flat and completely void of character? especially seeing the detail GM engineers put into the C7 lights? i'm thinking (hoping) they're actually covers, and we'll see some cool lights a few a hours!

front end looks great IMO. hood extractor a bit too small.
