Why do you favor the wide body style Camaro SS from 2010-2014? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Why do you favor the wide body style Camaro SS from 2010-2014? Over the newer model SS Camaros? I personally love the retro style look of the Camaro SS from 2010 to 2014 The newer SS Camaros look slimmer and smaller. I also don't like how the headlights and tail lights look on some of the newer models past 2014 There's just something about those years from 2010-2014 that makes the Camaro SS stand out more. I think those years captured the heart of the Camaro's old-school 60's look with a twist of modern design.

I suspect the body style may have had some influence from the earlier Ferrari which also appear to be wider body styles.

Because they look amazing, alongside the C7 Vette they are easily my favorite looking cars from the past 30+ years. you might want to add 2015 into the mix by the way... the 6th gens came out in ‘16. I like the 6th gens as well more so the 16-18’s, I’d love to have one to compliment my 2010, but it will not replace it.

Because to this day, the 5th gen looks awesome, as it did as a “concept” in 2006. We could only hope it would resemble the concept and it came damn close.

With GM now discontinuing the Camaro due to slow sales. What timeline do you guys think the Camaro will make a come back?

As far as I know this has never been confirmed. Possible, but not definite.

The latest rumours I read were that the 7th gen was being delayed.

I'm thinking it will come back as a hybrid.

gunchamp · 03-03-2021, 06:35 AM

14-15 was always my favorite. Fell in love with that stile and bought one. They are just badass looking cars

LT1Zob · 03-03-2021, 08:51 AM

It will likely become an EV Blazer

Personally for me I like the 2010-2013, it was the clean and sexy body lines of the new Camaro that made me want one, and when I got inside one and sat down it was dejavou all over again!! Reminded me of the inside of my 69 327ci Camaro I had back in the day, so I bought it right then and there!! I wouldn't get rid of her for any reason!! The 6th gens look real nice too but just not my style.

Bigdumogre · 03-03-2021, 09:23 AM

2012-13 are my favorites I love the grill and tail lights and the steering wheel. 2010 steering wheels are just ugly IMO

GearheadSS · 03-03-2021, 09:53 AM

I like them both.

They haven’t been discontinued, GM has never confirmed anything. The 6th Gen just got an extension of a couple more years because they are exporting some of them to Australia for a racing program down there. I don’t think the Camaro is going anywhere for at least 5 years. Even then I doubt it goes away.
