I feel like I need to put my own two cents in here. I understand what you're saying, and I'm sure that an awful lot of that kind of stuff goes on. People hate change, and people love to complain about stupid things. But I think it's really easy to fall into the trap of looking at everything through that lens and ignoring valid criticism.
This immediately came to mind with me because you used the steering wheel as an example and I don't think it's a good one. The 2010 steering wheel has a lot of issues. I personally think it looks cool, but it's not so easy on the hands and I drive with it every day. The ergonomic issues were a valid complaint. So you went about fixing it, which is good. But you just replaced one problem with another by swapping in an almost bog standard wheel. So now it feels fine but it doesn't look as nice. That wouldn't have stopped me from buying a new model, but it would bother me every time I looked at it. So both complaints were and are still valid even though people have moved on. Now as for the styling of the refresh, I am in the camp that doesn't like it. My personal opinion is that the original designer did such a great job that there wasn't much that could be done for a major refresh to improve it. But, like with the steering wheel being out of the parts bin, the business dictated that the styling had to change. I get that. But it still makes me question the taste of the company that let it through and I don't think I could bring myself to buy one again. Just doesn't hit me in the heart the way it used to. That just goes to show you that a group of perfectly competent people can still turn out a product that has issues. It happens for a lot of reasons. But please, please listen to your customers and evaluate each complaint objectively. Otherwise it can become a slow spiral down. And it has happened before to GM and the other American car companies and it wasn't pretty.

The white car on the left looks ok (WITHOUT the awful chrome stuff)... But to be honest the Camaro in the middle with the chrome "stuff" is just horrible looking... It looks so "out of place" and kinda makes no sense of why it's there... It kinda looks like a head brace or something, like the car is injured. |

The chrome strip isn't as obvious when you see the car in person. :shrug:

Guys, the cars look great! Let's not hate. The chrome front piece is an easy fix, either paint it, plasti-dip, or vinyl. I'm sure the new front bumper is better aerodynamically than our current one.

I'll bet that the aftermarket will have lots of options available not long after we start seeing 2014's on the street.

If I had my way I'll get a Black 2013 1ss/Rs, Add Recaro Seats with a ZL1 Bodykit & Z28 Wheels I wouldn't change anything on the New Z28, It's PERFECT but I'll have to throw in a Component 6 Speaker Set.

I'm gonna start a new thread for those who are interested in retro-fitting 2014 Camaro parts on the early 5th gen Camaros (2010-2013), if it is possible. This thread will be to inform one another.
