Exactly, This refresh has instantly made the 10-13 models look different, may I say it "aged" and not everyone is happy.

Front is okay. Rear end is awful. I hope the 6th Gen is a HUGE improvement over this refresh.

I cannot believe this. They absolutely killed this car. I am speechless... If they do something like this to a 6th gen, I will buy a Mustang. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE

Integrated into the fail lights (i.e. tail lights).

It's ok, hard for me to feel like I would be missing anything considering, I have only had my 2013 for about two months.

Terrible. Nice job an ruining a great looking car. The front bumper looks good except for the chrome strip. The hood extractor is beyone horrible looking and the tail lights just plain suck.

Now I know that I need to get a 13 if I want an SS.

And why no mention of the LS7?

Let's start to panic now about the next gen design so we have some time to space it out.

They are minor tweaks that make the car look just as attractive as ours but a little different, that's all. It's not a major overhaul, just some very minor cosmetic tweaks. I don't think we're exactly looking at a Mustang II situation here though.

That's what I said, and then I got bashed. I agree with you on this one.

Very impressive find, I think I like it, hood scoop replacement has to be because of all of the problems with the ECF/CF scoop from 12/13.

I don't see them in the rear end picture. Looks like some nasty taillights (or faillights) and a different diffuser and fascia (without reverse lights).

EDIT: Nevermind I see them... barely... they are in the center of the taillights.

This is a significant update to the vehicle.
I now believe we will see this Camaro for at least 2-3 years while the new smaller Caddy proves it's self, and technology can be diluted to the Camaro for the previous planned smaller version throught to be a 2015 model.

To me a smaller Camaro would not be ready till 2016 as a 2017 model.
