I love looking at these at the beginning of each month. I also love reading the locations of people saying that they see more Camaros than Mustangs, because here in South Jersey it's the complete opposite. I will pass by maybe one or two Camaros a week, but I can easily see 5-6 Mustangs in a single day.

Looks like the unveiling of the 2015 Mustang has begun to drop their sales.

I just bought my '14 2LT in July, and I love the back end on the current model. Personally I like it even more than the previous years', though I am admittedly biased.

Also, I went and test drove all three of these cars (Mustang, Challenger, Camaro) thinking that I wanted a Mustang and that it would be the car to beat. The Camaro (and even Challenger) outperformed it so much in virtually every category, with the Camaro coming out well on top of the three.

Nice to see. I must say for me the refresh has grown on me except for the chrome strip on the rs models. I do believe that the non-rs 1LE is the best looking camaro to date.

However in this regard context is important, you could say that the Camaro (the vehicle in it's design) is unique. You can argue that there are no other massed produced car that is quite like it (and honestly in this regard I would agree). I think that this is what makes the 5th generation Camaro special, some of the things in which people complain the most about this car is what makes it special.
This is what I was saying as in style and size because GM took a big chance on this! No other car company has took as big of a risk! These 5th Gens is you either love them or hate them! Not so with the mustang or challenger because both was all the way Retro Which everyone already loved but anytime you mix old with new it's a big risk!

I was part of this Hopefully vendors see that the refresh is a success and is selling really well and they decide to sell more 2014-2015 parts and accessories.

You can't contend with the fact that Camaro's design philosophy stems a lot from the fact that Ford looked to the 1st gen Mustang and Chrysler building a retro-themed Challenger.

Had the competition not done that, the 5th gen (if it ever even came to fruition again) might have been an evolution of the 4th gen design or something.

The new rear gives the camaro character, and it fills out the rear nicely. I do admit that the refresh had to grow on me.

The refresh helped all of the models, but it especially helped the 1LE; That model has killer looks!
