Just like any vehicle these days, bone pile it, and order a new one.

That's why I don't care for the 6th gen. One of the biggest draws for me to the 2010-2013, was my ability to have freedom to change the exterior to fit me. I didn't like the refresh because it was rather limiting in exterior customization. Now the 2016, I think GM has even further taken away from a owners ability to really make it they're own. I didn't want a car that looks like the other 100,000 produced before it and after it.

I still need to see it up close myself. I like it from the pics I've seen so far. It's a good design. However, it just doesn't seem to be the "homerun" design the '10-'13 was.

The rear bumber and tail light area looks a little too "Malibu" to me. The Stinray lights are really cool, and they should have gone further in that direction than the Malibu direction. But it's not just the lights, the bumper itself just has too many lines to it.

The hood itself is alright, but i just can't get past the curve on front. That's just way too round, as it seems the whole front bumper seems to have more curve than it should. At least I think that's what I don't like about it, I know that somethings off.

But the stance of the car, the hood line, and the rear quarter window are fantastic. I can't say anything about any interior until I can sit in it. Never saw a picture of any that capture the real details that matter.

But if this car matches what everyone is praising about the ATS in terms of driving experience, all of these little things I don't care for can be easily overlooked. But at this point, if I had to choose today, I would take a used Stingray or C6 over the Gen6 Camaro, or even an ATS V coupe.

You know, I would have been fine with them keeping the body style the exact same for like, 12 years !

like the 3rd gen was what, 83' - 92 ?

now days it's only what, 5 years somewhere around there ?

I think, same exact body style, but all the new engines and interior would have been awsome !

The 6th gens look cheap to me. The front looks like a Toyota Corolla I will never buy one, keeping the 5th gen.

I'm not a fan either. The new generation's overall shape looks too much like the 5th gen, and I don't like the front of the new car at all. Looks like they deliberately made it appear like that ridiculous Transformers movie Camaro. I'll keep my 2012.

Not a fan of the rounded off look... and they also cut the car's hips off:( I hate to say it but the 6th gen blends into the crowd too well
