i really like it just hoped they would had swapped out motors or made them with more power to make up for the 5.slow.

So that's where the Aztec's design crew went . . .

Well Chevrolet,

You have saved me a ton of money. I was hoping for a refresh that would convince me buy another one (preferably with a LS7), but you have brought me crashing back to reality. I am so glad I have a pre-refresh 5th Gen. I will focus my money on the last few mods for my 2010 SS and put the rest to a non-GM product since you guys can't seem to get the simplest $#!+ right (SS, C7, ATS-V, CTS).

I like the functioning vent vs the mail slot, but they could have given it a bit more style. It looks like a toilet seat on the hood.
I'll keep mine but I'm sure lots of folks will be buying the new gen 5.5

Now that's funny!!!

What is the unit in front of the rear view mirror? What does that do?

To me this just looks off-balanced. It looks like 4 different committees were involved in the design. One for the hood, one for the front grille, one for the front fog lights, and one for the lower grille which looks like they had the most enthusiasm with "let's go BIG or GO HOME!!!".

I spent untold hours going over the 2010 Camaro design and it was a masterpiece of a single designer's vision of not only a Camaro, but a muscle car... period. It looked and still looks like an untamed, wild jungle cat; powerful, muscular, ready to run.

This "refresh" looks like a domesticated house cat; related to it's powerful jungle cousin, but tamed.

If they were going to do this I really wish they'd paid more attention to balancing the details the way they did with the first car.

Here's a snap of what they did:


Here's what I would have liked to have seen:


Upper grille opening a bit taller, lower grille not quite as tall, fog light openings blended to look like they were part of the overall design so the height matches the lower grill, slightly less severe point at the outside edge of the area outside of the headlights.

I'm not crazy about the hood; the bulge is too wide and "soft" looking and the heat extractor looks completely out-of-place there. The extractor looks like a rough, wild, "we're running in the jungle and need to extract heat NOW" kind of extractor stuck onto a domestic house cat that clearly doesn't need it. To me that's the epitome of the ricer look; powerful, race performance objects stuck on a low-power domestic street car. It looks out-of-place.

Now that I've said it I think that's what bothers me the most about this refresh... the front just doesn't look powerful anymore. I REALLY hope this isn't the direction the 6th gen is going in.

I feel for the Camaro team though... they did such an outstanding job of the 5th gen that trying to follow that has to be a nearly impossible task. This refresh is okay... just not great.

You're right, I should of said from what we have seen of the rear end SO FAR. It's not promising but you're right, can't jump to too many conclusions yet.

On another note, I can't believe there are people that DON'T like the new C7. That is a thing of beauty.

The back end looks a lot like a fith gen Honda Prelude, at least in these new Camaro pictures.
