I think the V-8 is on its way out. You’ll see a turbo 6 as the top motor if the Camaro stays at all. And it’ll have more garbage to go wrong like start/stop and AFM.

Well let's see:
If I didn't have a 5th gen then it would definitely be a 6th gen. because Chevrolet has done great things with the platform, and has transformed the Aussie chassis into a competent performer. Additionally, if I didn't have a 4th gen 'SS then I'd get a 6th gen 'SS. However, if I had everything to do over, I doubt that my choices would really be different.

When the gen 6 first came out and won some award, my mother called me and said I just have to trade my gen 5 in and get this new one. I said sure, lets go have a look at one in person and see what you think about them. I took both my mother and father to a dealership and they were surprised on how ugly they really were in person compared to the gen 5 and to other brand cars in the same price range of an SS. She literally asked the salesman if what in fact they were showing her was the new Camaro. Sure they looked decent in the pictures but we all could not get over how they just blended in with all the camary's and hondas on the road. We also could get over how much smaller it was inside. Too tight. But the sales guy was saying "but it performs so much better then your gen 5" and my father responded "well if your asking that much money they better look good. Who wants to drive a bland, ugly and expensive camaro!" Needless to say I laughed. I just don't get the gen 6 looks and interior. For that money there are much better options.
My 2 kids are muscle car/camaro fans. Every time I point out a 6 gen they don't believe me that its a camaro. I showed them one that was parked and they both said it looks boring and like everything else on the road. Take it for what its worth. To me the gen 5 has more of a universal appeal for several reasons and still does. The gen6 has taken the camaro right off the radar and has reduced its market presence to a very small niche market. |

I've refrained from commenting, but the tone of your posts has become more bashing of the 5th generation & defensive about the 6th generation. I assure you that the 5th generation Camaro will become well regarded & coveted as time moves on, similar to what is occurring with the 3rd generation now; while the 6th generation will receive treatment similar to the 4th generation. You're the only person here who believes otherwise & the only person, on any muscle car forum that I've been on, to speak so disparagingly of the 5th generation, so that should tell you something. I look forward to the 7th generation & hope to either purchase one or a 2019+ SS, but not at the expense of trading my 5th generation. It was an instant classic the day the first one rolled off of the assembly line, regardless of what monetary value it may or may not have in the future.

Ya the green one I'm sure I will see again at my car clubs cruise night. This one was the next night at another cruise about 30 min from my house. Both are outstanding. Has me thinking sometimes selling my car and buying one of these beauties. I like to run my car hard sometimes and wouldn't feel right doing that in this car lol.
