It isn't the euro version. But, it isn't the FINAL version. Recall the ZL1 had a different factory grille from the debut. But I think this is at least 99% done.

It won't fail..People will still want the Camaro and those without one will purchase the latest and "NOT SO GREATEST" model. Feel sorry for people who waited.

Small grill opening looks like the angrybird face to me, not sure if I'm liking the taillights yet.

Glad I have mine also!!!!

It looks great! However, I prefer the tail lights on my 2012! I think they make the car stand out a lot more!

Some people love it, some people hate it. I'm not interested in trading my 2010 in on this but Chevy may have done the right thing by appealing to some of those who don't like the 2010-13 as much as the rest of us. This could be just what they need to keep momentum going, only time will tell. The good thing is, there are plenty of options.

Don't think it will fail but do know if this is what they came out with in 2010, I wouldn't have bought it.

Glad to see it wasn't a Generational change. It reminds me of the subtle changes GM made with the 1st Gen. going from the 67 to the 69. With that in mind, I don't see a problem with what they've done.

Regarding the "Angry Birds" comment. Several people over the past year or so have made the comment to me that the 5th Gen (with the original grille) looks like it has a BIG smile. One even said it reminds her of a "Cheshire Cat Grin." Jury's still out with me, but I think the slimmed down "more angry" look of the grille might just be what is needed.

I won't be trading/getting rid of mine for one any time soon either, but I hope it does well!

I don't think it will fail one bit. It won't have the WOW factor it did the first time around, but that car will still sell just as the current model. IMO I don't think it looks better and puts the current model to shame, I just think it looks different... possibly more refined in some areas. I think once people see it in person they will have a different perspective on the looks. Pictures don't always do things justice.

Dissappointed

I can't believe GM changed the contour of the hood and then to add louvers. It's looks cheap and unfinished. Why would they mess with perfection. So dissappointed, whoever was in charge of this refresh needs to move on to Kia or Hyundia because the changes are generic at best.

I agree. GM is really f***ing this up. I'm so happy with my 2011.

You have a modified car. You hurt your resale value yourself. Plus most people know to stay away from the first year of any model. Keep dreaming if you think this redesign will somehow increase the value of your car because it won't.
Besides this new one looks much better then the early versions.

This version doesn't even come close to the earlier versions.

I agree to think that a massed produced car will be worth anything anytime soon is silly.
