Actually Toyota copied Ford on that one, it resembled a 69 Mustang 2+2 not only tail lights but rear window, roofline and spoiler lip, much closer than a Prelude looks like a 14 Camaro.

I honestly wonder how many people here truly don't like the new design...or have just convinced themselves to hate it because deep down, they're insecure about the fact that their 2010-2013 Camaro no longer looks like the newest available model.

This is par for the course every time something changes with this car. Steering wheel changed, "OMG THAT SUCKS WTF GM SO STUPID." Interior revision, "WTF GM THAT LOOKS LIKE SH*T MORONS." New wheels for 2013, "SO UGLY WHY WOULD YOU SCREW UP THE CAMARO."

It's honestly comical at this point. Like I said, the 6th gen's debut is going to be amusing as hell.

This read is getting out of control, haha!

But I did appreciate the pics of the SS front end, so thanks for that!

But at the end of the day, i'd prefer the 2010 wheel over mine. Mine looks like a fleet car wheel. Oddly enough its the same one in my mom's cruze, is it not?

The 2013 wheels were a step backward as well. glad i don't have them.

Every change they've done to this car is literally to make it less muscular. Muscle cars are a niche and all, but, i happen to be very fond of them. I figure most people here are as well. The gen 5 directly plays on the fact that it's a modern day muscle car.

Making it less muscular is downright foolish IMO.

Just a few comments I found on another camaro site about the upcoming 2010 Camaro looks,
Quote:
From Camaro Z28.com:


"Other than the rear, I loved the new Camaro concept. Over the long period of time this concept has taken to become production (and yes, we are still waiting), we have now seen what the car will look like.

I am now so turned off by the appearance alone, that I can honestly say I will not be purchasing one. I am curious to see how many people feel the same way I do, or feel in general about the appearance of the Camaro as a whole."

"The wheels, and the interior, are the biggest turn offs of the current pictures compared to the concepts for me. Also, and most of you guys probably know the facts on this compared to my opinion, but it seems like the concept was wider and sleeker, compared to the more "boxy" car that is shown in the latest pictures. The headlights I actually like more than the concept ones, and I still find the rear ugly just as I did with the concept one."

"I like it, with the exception of the tail lights."

"well this wont be popular but I think they missed the mark, I loved my 68 and 69 camaro and want another, I currently own 2 4th gens. I love camaros but I wish it was more retro than it is, the mustang looks nice but I dont like the ride the chrysler looks awsome to me more retro than the others. I know this wont be popular but I just think it looks to much like a cadillac, dont think I spelled that right lol. I am sorry if this offends anybody but I was hoping they would bring it back and make it more like the old but thats just how I feel."

"X 2 for me. That back end is complete garbage.

If they took a 69 RS (hideaway headlights) Camaro body and put in on the chassis they have now,I'd have the most expensive one...but I just personally think they murdered it. Look at a new Challenger and look at, say a '70 Challenger that was so popular....almost a mirror image except a few minor details that actually HELPED the appearance.
Im actually sad to say it,but they butchered the Camaro to death...way to go. The only thing im hoping is that the concept thats released even now itsnt like the production one and their (GM) is filling us full of BS and going to make a kickass version."

"I think it looks decent from all angles except the rear, which is just hideously ugly."

"It needs work, maybe version 5.x will get better"
Do any of these comments sound familiar?
And this is just a small sample.
I would bet dollars to doughnuts their opinions of the 10-13 design changed over time.

Wonder if it's possible to retrofit the old taillights on it?

I like that the SS finally comes with a different hood than the standard v6 gives a different look to it.

Wow! I've been waiting to see a good pic of the new stripes. They look awesome and are exactly what people have been asking for a long time. I was always a fan of the stripes not going past the hood but these look great. Thanks for posting.
