More importantly, someone in daytime TV needs to seriously look at what they are putting on the air. That show sucks.

Glad I work during the day.

Now back to proper automotive speculation...

I just want to know who the hell approved for the car to appear on a TV show this morning.

Chevy could EASILY fix this:

1) Open up the front grille again and remove the "hump" that everyone hates. Leave the revised bottom as it is.

2) Leave the hood with the wider buldge, but add two "hex" vents in the middle instead of the one.

3) As for the rear....pictures haven't shown enough detail for me to make a 100% decision here, but they should have just taken the current design and slanted them outward a bit for a more aggressive style. Of course then they'd be even more similar to the Vette tail lights....which in my opinion belong on a new or REFRESHED Camaro.

Do that and I guarantee the refresh would go over fine. Some people would complain that it isn't enough of a refresh, but it would fix what people dislike about this one.

Easy!

Tell that to those cutting edge Jeep Wrangler designers.

The recent success of the Camaro is based on retro styling.

The ass on that thing is hideous!

I agree for the most part. It doesn't WOW like the rest of the car, but it's acceptable. I look at the Camaro refresh and go nonononono....

My only complaint with Cadillac right now would be the same rear end going on every car... But I'm hoping and praying the rear end on the Coupe is killer to make up for it!

Think of it this way, it may be a design study on the direction the 6th Gen was going and if it flops its not too late to change it.
I think there is some merit in that statement. The feedback on this refresh will help give GM some direction for the 6th gen. I thought they would do more than a mild refresh; but this means the 6th gen will come sooner than later.

I hope this refresh isn't a sneak peak of the 6th gen.
