I feel the same. Enough of the fake vents, at least it's functional. I get enough of the fake vents daily with my G8.

50/50 for me. Glad it finally had LED tails, yet I don't like their shape. Glad the reverse lights are gone from the bumper. I'm shocked the interior wasn't even touched..... Front end isn't bad but I'm not feeling the hood vent. Dunno.... Yep, 50/50 here....

Someone find FBOD and tell him that we are sending the monkeys and Black Suburbans to the design team headquarters!! LOL but seriously, I am disappointed, I feel let down..no interior enhancements, no HP bump, no Z/28? How do they expect to seel MY '14 Camaro's...fire the design team before they get their hands on the 6th GEN!!

For those of you who want this new one, it's all yours.

That chrome strip on the grille opening seems like such an afterthought.

I am really glad I have my 2012, some how or another I figured GM would screw up something as gorgeous as the current design.......idiots.......

I hate to say this but at least Ford managed to make the front end of their mustang look better than the first design of the retro look, cant say much for the rear end though. GM should have left well enough alone, this current design looks awesome as it is.

Expand the size of the audience, free publicity and to set fire to the forums and blogs. Seems a smart move to me.

There better be a whole lot of performance enhancement.............to stop the burning in my eyes!

Are you kidding me.......are we all looking at the same thing! Throw out opinions here..... the refresh points on this car are horrible period. The front, you can debate..........but the rear!!! What the hell happened here, they finish that on a Friday night before a holiday or something. WTF is that! Holy crap are the tail lights terrible

I cannot beleive that the GM engineers finished this up, looked at the rear of this thing and high-5'd on a job well done.

Why could'nt someone there say, hey lets take the 69 z/28 tail lights.... one piece 3 split give them a sleeker modern spin to them an put em' in..... would have brought it closer to a 69 in 2014 and would have been a home run!

Nuf said............ wait..... i have to again, ok...done with this

I agree, I thought there would be some tweaks to the interior as well. Overall I'm not a fan of this car...after looking at the 2014 model and then catching a glance at everyone elses cars on this forum, the 2010-2013 is clearly the better looking car. I'm disappointed.

Agreed Beaux!

I think that they coulda done something way different on the hood....a la Leno.

We'll see it in person...then I'll see.

Perhaps it's that we were all so impressed with the C7 we expected much more....

WOW....not liking the rear. I love my 2010..considered '69 bumper conversion kit a couple of years ago, looks like they did it for me and it is not pretty.

This makes me like my 2012 even more. The front end is not an improvement in my opinion and the rear really looks very generic compared to the current car. Hopefully this will bring more buyers to the fold but I'll come a lot closer to buying the all new 2016 rather than this "refresh".

Agree completely... I dont mind the front as that IMO is a true refresh. Very sutle changes to the front...

The back! Its all about the tailights. This ruined it for me... sigh
