Beautiful car, but I'm keeping my '14. Chevrolet screwed up - they made the best car ever when they made the 5th Gen... I might keep it forever.

They changed the market audience for the camaro. I feel like i hit middle age way to early. They want it to appeal to the gen-x ers and Chevy figured that crowd is in the Subaru-Honda tuner crowed. So they want to appeal to them. (Says Chevrolet in a press release)

I judge my cars based on performance then the "bad ass factor" just because it's the new and shiny doesn't qualify. The new one is not meeting my criteria. I keep thinking of buying a g8 next year and selling my camaro due to my injector issues.

I love the way the Hard tonneau cover opens up for the fabric top.......I also love the fact that the 2SS will have a 455HP engine with factory headers, it will sound awesome with the NPP exhaust. I love the new interior also.

Do not like the front end, too much like a Crustang. Do not like where they put the SS badges either. Ass end is ok.

Bottom line: Green Flash isn't going anywhere. Still digging on it.

i'm really not sure where the "looks like a mustang" is coming from. it looks like a 2014/15 Camaro front end. So unless the 2014/15 looks like the mustang, I don't see it. and if that is the case, then shouldn't the mustang look too much like the 2014/15 Camaro, and not the other way around? I see zero similarities in the 6th gen front end and the mustang front end.

I like it, and am considering a trade up.

I will wait until 2017 or 2018 though.. I never like to buy the first year of a new or redesigned model, I have done it twice in the past and both times the cars were lemons from the moment I drove off the lot.

while it can be true of any vehicle at any point in their life, first year runs tend to have kinks that need to be worked out, and usually are by year 3.

the other reason is I have bought 3 new vehicles since 2005 and my wife has only bought 1, her 2007 Camry, which is almost 9 models years old and close to 100K, so I was informed when I pointed out the new design to her today, that the next new vehicle is hers when my 2012 is paid off in 2 months..

+1 The new 6th Gen looks nothing like a Mustang. I don't get it either.
