69-70 81-82 92-92 02-10 that's what we deserve

After seeing the 2016 how is it not just a gen 5, just the LT1..? that motor is not that much better or different than the LSx and the stylistic flavor in and out is 5th gen.. yes I read that there is only two parts that are the same as a 15...but that car looks like a ladies version of the 15. The 69-70 81-82 92-93 02-10 now those where changes. That car they gave us yesterday doesn't deserve a completely different Web site. Just a sub spot on Camaro5.
the 2016 is a gen 5 imo. Let's hope they get us something to pull us out of our 10-15s with the next car. Anyway I am just disappointed I guess...

New platform, new powertrain, new sheet metal, new interior, new dimensions, new technologies, but it's not a new generation?

You're ridiculous.

And lol @ LT1 "is not that much better or different than the LSx."

Yes I know, and perhaps l am crazy but I have owned 5 Camaros over the years and still own two and I wanted more.. and a Mustang buddy of mine texted me yesterday and said "not enough" and I had nothing to say that he didn't already know... I won't own that 2016 ever

OP, were you there yesterday?????

I will guarantee you that parked side by side, sat in side by side, and driven back to back if you don't find the Gen6 a generational change, then I would seriously have to question your car knowledge. Don't mean that to be a slam, but this car will be a league ahead of the current car. Just because there wasn't a radical styling change, which I was a HUGE proponent of by the way, doesn't mean this car isn't something really special.

Lets put it this way. For various picky reasons, I would not consider a 5th gen Camaro. I've driven too many of them and that car doesn't work for me any more. From what we saw yesterday, this may be the car that I buy next year. It's that different.

And keep in mind, GM said they asked customers what they wanted. What they wanted was a car that was recognizable as a Camaro and from your own comments, that was achieved.

They literally changed everything. A lot of cars get new sheet metal and interiors, but the same engines, trannys and chassis. Or maybe a new engine option.

This car is the definition of all new, it sets the benchmark for a new generation.

Doesn't mean you have to like it, but call a spade a spade.

I know it's better but are you gonna buy one..is it so much better that you just have to have one.. not just because it's new.. tell us why it deserves your 40ish grand over a 15 or what other non Chevrolet brands are bringing to the table.. it's such a small step I feel in the right direction but not the kill shot I had hoped for.. it will make being a blue blood Chevy guy when your all talking cars in a mixed group of guys a little hard for the first time in decades.. I will just talk about the vette I guess, so are you going to buy one ?

Maybe you and your Mustang buddy should both make lists of all the changes on a 2016 Camaro, and all the changes on the 2015 Mustang. They're both "next gens"... see which one has the most changes and (more importantly) the most upgrades.

Even though you weren't addressing me, I'll chime in. The technology in the 6th gen is leaps and bounds above the 5th gen. I love my '13, but facts are facts. Engine, transmission, frame, ride controls, suspension, interior design and functionality.... the list goes on and on.

I'll certainly drive one ASAP and do my homework on the upgrades/features. I'll be closely watching, reading, and listening
to all the comments and reports about the 2016s once they hit the road. Then, if there is a 50th Anniversary Edition in 2017... I'll probably get one.

Better performance, lighter weight, more agile, superior platform, finally respectable interior.

Oh and it's vastly better than your 5th gen. Sorry not sorry.
