what is up with the black mustache trim???

jg95z28 · 03-26-2013, 12:07 PM

I can live with the new nose and tail lights (the rear now has more of a 67-68 RS vibe), however the hood vent heat extractor from Home Depot has got to go! :(

Why GM? Why? Could have been such a great refresh...

I am not liking the look of the 2014... At all.... Maybe its just wearing the wrong color... But it looks so rushed... So pieced together. Like the engineers were going to a scrap box for spare parts.

LilMissAllie · 03-26-2013, 12:08 PM

I love the front due to the grille, but not the hood nor the taillights. Ill stick with my '12

irocnroll · 03-26-2013, 12:09 PM

Front end is hideous. Looks like someone was messing around with the smudge tool in photoshop. So glad I have the year I have now. The lights do not fit with that grill.

JWMotoring · 03-26-2013, 12:10 PM

Front looks good. Rear not so much based on those pics.

jeffswhitess · 03-26-2013, 12:10 PM

I like it,but I think I would like too see it in person to see if I love it or not! Not to big on the vent in the hood, we can always change that.The tail lights are the euro units with out the back up lights in them.This is not that bad.

bobby35ny · 03-26-2013, 12:10 PM

Friggin wonderful,

I knew this would happen after Sang Yup Lee left GM. Whats worse is the higher ups at GM signed off on this refresh and all those disciples should be fired ASAP. It's the 80's all over again, they will redesign this car into distinction!!

I understand the nose design, while its not perfect its just OK, grill looks less impressive now, no harm no foul.
The tail, again not perfect it's OK, no harm no foul.

But holy crap, the hood, Are we in 1984 again? WTF were they thinking!!!! I'm dumbfounded!
The cars heritage is with Rally stripes, why would you break that up????

No HP boost? Really..............
Interior, come on guys, plenty to do in there!!

Thanks, C5, for the email heads up! Best place for all things Camaro!

And thanks to the OP for getting the info up ASAP.

Lawdog1911 · 03-26-2013, 12:12 PM

I think 2 vents would have looked better than the one in the middle.

gmen09 · 03-26-2013, 12:12 PM

Love the frot end, the tail lights are cool but I think I'm gonna have to see them in person. they look less like the corvette taillights now haha.

I feel the same way. Initial reaction is OK. I'll have to see more of the rear to know. If the lower grille is larger and not just blacked out, that would allow more air up through the cooling and out around the engine through the vent. That should help.

2010_5thgen · 03-26-2013, 12:13 PM

the only good thing that has come out of this is now they force themselves to do a complete redesign for the 6th gen because that thing is so ugly. it can only get better from here on out. and expect a drop in sales for this model. people will be holding out now for the 6th gen and not buying this awful looking car.

just a few questions....
why the zl1 hood scoop on the ss?
why the zl1 like grill and fog light opening on the ss?
why the ugly one piece taillights?

Evil-Bee-NH · 03-26-2013, 12:14 PM

Is it only me or does anyone else find that to be a huge dissapointment. That hood vent is ugly looking as hell.
