What year is your favorite Camaro: 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015?

Royal Tiger · 07-02-2017, 04:29 PM

You forgot 2015.

2013; and that was the only year I looked for when we passed on a new one last year.

Just edited it.
I'm most likely getting a 2013 2SS as well. Been overseas for the last two years dreaming about getting one.

DvKillar · 07-02-2017, 04:42 PM

2013. will be my next one.

'12....that's the year we own. Searched all of Texas to find and IBM with all the options we wanted after they discontinued the color.

2011. Has Camaro on the steering wheel and SS on the bottom of it. Plus its the year before the new tech stuff so it gives me on old school feel. Plus thats the year I own so it must be true.

2013 fo sho...

2010
2013
2012
2011
2014/15

The primary reason 2010 is my favorite is because of Aqua Blue Metallic. Only available to order through November of 2009. 2013 was the last year for the original rear end and had ZL1's in coupe or convertible with the upgraded suspension on all other models and MyLink available. After that it basically boils down to the upgrades available with the original rear end for me. The newer style rear ends of 14/15 never really did much for me.

PeteD · 07-02-2017, 06:13 PM

2012 for me

hdkeno · 07-02-2017, 06:15 PM

2012, all the good changes,FE4,new dash and steering wheel, and before the My Link.

TheFlyingBananaSS · 07-02-2017, 06:33 PM

After careful research I went with the 2013 model. Hands down the gen5 favorite.

blewbyyou · 07-02-2017, 06:33 PM

13 had all the upgrades and the last of the orignal tail lights do like the aqua blue in 10 and wish it had run a few more years. Aqua blue 13 with black ZL1 wheels would of been awesome IMO.

Royal Tiger · 07-02-2017, 06:37 PM

If you want a convertible, like I did, the only choice is 2013 so you get the better top and better tail lights.
