2014 refresh poll - Like or Don't Like - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I wished the poll was broken done alittle more. I am one that does not like the exterior changes. However I do love the new options that will be offered such as the Recaro seats. It is unseen if the Ceremic brakes will be offered for the ZL1 or not.

Carbon ZL1 edition? Recaro seats, Ceramic brakes, carbon fiber rockers and spoiler? Hmm. Maybe the SEMA concept should see the light of day.

2011 SS SLP ZL427 · 03-31-2013, 07:16 PM

Im not a fan of the way it looks especially the rear end it looks like the back end of an Acura integra just wider...

Hard to make a decision based on pictures on not seeing it in person. Not surprised there are plenty people who are so forthcoming to say they don't like it without seeing it in person because the change is enough to make their current Camaro not so current.

I wasn't a fan of the pics from the talk show, but everyday the look is growing on me. Cant wait to see it inperson and hopefully upgrade to a 2014 SS.

I haven't seen the car in person but I can see your pics of your car in the signature and say your car looks 10x better than the refresh. Great looking rear end, lol. No homo of course.

as a first-time camaro owner ('12 v6), i have been saying to myself 'make more money and upgrade!'....hopefully to say, the SS. the ZL1 is a fast car, but if you're going to drop close to $60k there are faster cars to be had if speed is your hobby.

that said, with the middle of 2013 approaching and 2014 models are on the way, a year from now (mid-2014) we'll have the next look at the next generation of camaros, to apparently debut in 2015.

if that is true, and they are groundbreaking like the 5th gens were at first, i'll hopefully skip the 2014 refresh and wait to grab a 2015 SS. hopefully we see a marked improvement in weight and speed, along with more horsies

on the downside, looks like another year and a half with the v6 :( lol

I'll bet the SS and the Z/28 are pre production models and they probably don't have an LS/LT or 1LE put together completely yet.

Overall I like the new changes. This is probably the year I order an SS.

Funny that you should post that since my 71 was actually the only American car back in 1971 that Road & Track recommended and party it was because of the European look that the reviewers though that it evoked in the design. The second gen Camaros have finally come unto their own but it took a long time. Could be with this one but I doubt it.

Stex · 03-31-2013, 10:23 PM

Voted no like...hood with a hole in it and strange tails are a fail with me...and seeing it on the lot will not change that...new front looks like many other cars...the lexus/toy look on the lower part...would have to see it but do not like the narrow top grill look...get a 10-13 is my reco..

but a 2SS with optional magnetic ride and a 427 would make me over look a lot of this...do not need and/or cannot use the track stuff...

Your Right!

2014 Design =

I'm sure GM put a lot of thought into the inner components and performance aspects of the '14. However, I really don't like the design change at all.

The front looks terrible, despite their engineering consideration for it. They should have left it alone or at least kept the same proportions. The car looks like its squinting. Why?!

The rear on the '14 also looks like a carbon copy of the Honda Prelude! Just did a side-by-side comparison and the break-light placement, the trunk shape, and all, look very similar to the Prelude. Sigh!

The heat extractor on the hood also looks too small and cheap. Maybe GM is trying to hard to get rid of too much weight off of the Camaro. They should have used the original designer, Lee, to make any design modifications.

I drive a '11 SS, but I don't think I'll be trading to the new Camaro since my car will be a design classic!

I think moving the reverse backup lights into the tail lights looks clean.

esperman · 04-01-2013, 12:10 PM

There should be "It's Okay" option in the poll.
The Z/28 headlights look better than the SS version, if that makes some feel better
