I voted "like" when I could only see the small first image. Now I want to change it to "dislike"

Sftshldr · 03-26-2013, 06:13 PM

So what we are seeing by the poll is that enthusiasts would rather have a differently designed Camaro (or better in the case of the extractor) by a 2 to 1 margin. I gotta wonder why they stuck ex Pontiac motor division designers (Firebird taillights) on the Chevy Camaro they remind me of the mess Ford made of the 1987 Mustang taillights when they moved away from the vertical tri bars design.

They can please most and by the look of the vote...they have failed to please the majority

my prediction...sales of this car falls and starts to lose to mustang now...especially when their 2015 50th anniversary looks to be really smooth looking

I haven't voted yet. I am reserving judgment. I am a tried and true Chevy fan, but sometimes I've been frustrated at their efforts from time to time.

Edit: Its too bad that car design trends are not what they were in the sixties and seventies heydays. A car maker would update a design every year or two. A bad design stroke could be fixed without a lot of damage. Not too sure what's happening with this camaro, but on the other hand the 6th gen is a couple of years away.

Just hideous front changes....

compare the audience reaction from the camaro to the jaguar f-type

the car went from iconic looking to some ricer looking typical bloated garbage...taillights look like something that came from the 90's

idiots!!!

I was thinking the same thing about the tail lights being changed because they looked too much like the vette's. IMO they should have just kept it like it was and let the 5th Gen go out with grace. Damn I can't get over that cheap looking hood vent and the tail lights make it look like a sedan from behind.

seminolejon · 03-26-2013, 06:16 PM

The tail lights kind of remind me of a 90's Acura Integra. Not really a good thing. I'm thinking it's a good thing I have a 2011. I really hope the tide turns for the better with the new model in a couple of years.

I still think a lot of the design of the tail lights has been lost in these pictures. I bet they won't look the same in real pictures or in person.

It looks like the opening of the lower grill is actually no bigger than it ever was, and the top portion is just "blacked out" to make it appear as though it's a bigger opening. If that's the case its pretty cheesy. I still can't get over how insanely cheap that hood louver thing looks. Those aftermarket Hex Vents everyone are putting in their hoods look better thought out than this factory designed piece.

Didn't take GM long to ruin the Camaro again. Can we get someone from Ford who knows how to do a retro and keep it going? I'm glad I got a Gen 5 at least even though it was t the ideal retro either. But where is GMs head now? They just don't get it.

camarolt76 · 03-26-2013, 06:22 PM

I will certainly not be trading in my 2010 2SS/RS for a 2014; however I don't think it's as bad as the reaction its getting in this thread. The feature I dislike the most is the hood vents because they look cheep. I also agree that the front nose looks much less agressive than the current SS.

sspolo · 03-26-2013, 06:24 PM

I like it. Hopefully they keep similar wheels that are on the 2010-2013.

..you know who designed this refresher? = FORD

I'm liking the 2015 Barracuda styling right about now, especially the GTX.
