overall I think it looks more racer/ricer than muscle
I think maybe they feel they have catered to the older retro modern crowd with the 2010-2013 and now they want to appeal to the under 30 modern sports car crowd more.

Doesn't matter to me what it looks like. I'm enjoying what I have now. Plus my car is paid for. If you don't have any intentions of getting a new one or trading for a new one, you'll be ok. Just the folks that buy the 2014 will deal with the looks.

I think this is a prank, They are showing us a hideous makeover to make tomorrows official presentation of the 2014 even more spectacular. Who ever thought of this prank, if it is a prank, would be a marketing Genius.

I'm way under 30 and me and my friends all agree this update ruined the niceness of the 10-13 models.

You have to admit though your in the minority, most younger people prefer the Asian sporty cars over American styling. Just look around at the majority of those that are driving them and those driving Camaros.

Ehh i dont know if i agree with that. A lot of my good friends are car guys and gals. Not one of them like "asian sporty cars" Got a few porsche/euro fans mixed in but no Japanese crap.

and lose the bold uniqueness that won it international awards for design. Just hope it doesn't become too swanky for it's own good. You know, the new C7 Vette is taking on a lot of the sharp line styling cues from Godzilla and so maybe Camaro needs to do this in order to transition it to the new style. It, along with Mustang, will be sharp lined rail riders.

So they are gonna be rail riders. Got it.


Sip.
