Hey just keep on doing what you guys are doing! I worked at a call center for a few years and at first it really made me get upset as how people are and made me think if I was wrong... Forward a few months after and I noticed a trend that people will just never be happy. So I just decided to do my thing and work hard at what I did, but not let it affect my work performance. Hope you do the same!
I personally love all the of the changes, it has definitely made the car better. I just wonder when are pictures of the V6 going to be released? BTW I knew we can't "trust" you when it comes to the 6th gen Camaro! Your job would be on the line. |

I like all the design changes except the rear lights. I'm sorry but not one thing about them says Camaro. It is astonishing that the same company who designed the C7 Corvette Stingray designed the 2014 Camaro rear end.

This is an amazing write-up Scott. I've always been a Camaro fan and always will be. And at the very minimum, can't everyone just give the new Camaro a chance before they beat it to death with a verbal sledgehammer?? I personally love it, but I can't speak for everyone. I'll admit I'm not so sure about the looks of that new air extractor on the SS, but jeez I'm at least going to give it chance by checking it out in person before I make any decisions.
The Camaro team should be really proud of this refresh, especially the Z/28. I also never realized how hard the team tried to fit the model nameplates appropriately among Camaros. Clearly their method works well! Also, sorry if I missed this in your post, but why exactly did Camaros keep going back and forth from Z28 and Z/28? |

I also think once we see the 2014's in person, most people will be happy. I'm all for the refreshes every few years. I love my 2012 SS and plan on keeping it a long time, so I won't be in the market for a new car for quite some time. But I still like seeing the newer models and what they've changed.
BTW, the 2014 refresh looks WAY better than the 1998 one. |

Scott,
Thank you an the rest of the Camaro team for bringing back into prominence such a beloved brand. What makes me a very proud Camaro owner is not only the fantastic car I now have but, just as important, a brand that is being continually improved and changed to keep consumers interested, engaged, and buying!

I must say, I agree with Scott that too often, peoples opinions are not very polite in their presentation, which is a fancy way of saying rude, uninformed and hostile. It's not impolite to say "I liked the old design better" or something, but really, swearing at the guys doing all the work is just wrong.

Thank you Fbodfather, this part speaks volumes to me.
"The 2014 is dedicated to the “Z/28” purist. This is a track car that makes no excuses. That this car is a full three seconds faster on a track than the mighty ZL1 speaks volumes to its intent. Make no mistake – this isn’t a slap at the mightly ZL1. Far from it. If you want a car that blows other cars off a road course on Saturday and Sunday – and yet will get you to the office in comfort on Monday morning – the ZL1 is the car for you. If you want blistering track performance at a reasonable cost – the 1LE is prescribed. And – if you want to shame exotics on a road course – with an automobile that’s not meant for daily driving, then the Z/28 makes no apologies and may grab you by the collar – shake you silly -- and shout “LET’S GO MAKE "". This reassures me that I made the right choice in a ZL1. |

I am curious now though if a "Z28" will ever resurface? Now that I think about it Dodge has done the same thing with there Dodge Charger line up offering the Dodge R/T(chrome letters) and Dodge R/T(red letters) "Road and track" performance package. 1 model using 2 different trim levels with the same name plate sort to speak.
Can a Z28 and Z/28 coexist, is my only question regarding the matter? Thank you, Scott once again for the opportunity to even own such an amazing car. Well built, well recognized and just a well built machine. #teamcamaroFTW |
