Actually, the '14-'15 tail lights are more Camaro-like than the '10-'13 versions. You had the three segment pattern on non RS models and they wrapped around the rear fenders.

That wrap around is what makes them so nice. It reminds me of the later 2nd and 3rd gen F-body.

The strange thing is those same people you talk about that can't stand the '14-'15 tail lights will sell their '10-'13 5th gens and hop on over to a 6th gen. That one, I still can't figure out.

Its funny...I don't mind the rear tailights....a 14 or so just passed me and its the front that I don't like. Its to compressed and looks small. The 6th gen imo isn't an ugly car....I just find the 10 to 15 body style nicer. And based on the compliments my 2011 gets still after 8 years of that body style being around Im thinking it will always be a hit.

The more open grill on the 10-13 reminds me more of the 1st gen cars. I agree the 14-15 taillights look more retro but I still like the half circles better

It’s all personal preference with the looks so it doesn’t really matter. They are all great vehiclez

No trades, huh? Dang. Well, glad y’all love your cars too! I’m also trying to sell a custom home on 1.5 acres, creek, oaks, two story guesthouse and no one wants it either. I’m going to have to make someone a package deal and PAY them to take this crap off my hands. Then buy a double wide and a 2013!

Wait for the 2013 it's the best year and considered the "sweet spot" of the 5th gen.

Yeah, moved here in 1980 - when it was the state Ronald Regan represented. Suffice it to say a LOT has changed since. Probably ban muscle cars in a few years.

Agreed and its not even a generational thing. There's just something about those SQUIRCLES

I agree with the 13 model year having the best of both worlds. I do like the 10-13 tail lights better but I got a good deal on my 15 and am very happy with it. When pressing the go fast pedal I seem to completely forget all about it.

I recall watching the news recently and they said a bill was introduced in Cali to ban the 14-15 Camaro models.....











I like the SS in the 14-15 models especially the hood vent. I find the front a little squished for the halos but it still looks good.

Oh don’t talk about the hood vents I hate those cheap plastic inserts they ruin the hood. They are putting them on the 19’s too
