I think everyone was wanting more and didn't get it.

Front and rear fascia and front and rear lamps. Same as the 2014 Regal and LaCrosse. Camaro just got the interior bit earier.
I was hoping for less.

Exactly! They changed waaayyyy too much. It appears to have wrap around tail lights Yuck! Too, too rounded, no muscle. It really looks soft. My biggest problem appears it may not easily be modified back to the 2013 design.

Well, historically, the nose/lights/facia and tail end lights/facia are changed in a model Camaro upturn. It was predictable. NOW, heres the million dollar question....will the Gen 6 be a model upgrade and designed as an incremental step beyond the 2014/2015 Camaro model using the same styling cues in a slightly different, more modern platform architecturally...or will be it a completely new design....?

Hopefully it doesn't follow Camaro history because that would mean the 6th gen would be an entirely different design. Most of the front facia looks good but the head lights don't fit anymore. The heat extractor is a good idea but is way too small.

All in all, I think this refresh is a step in the wrong direction.

It appears the hood and trunk are different as well. I now understand the feeling of wanting a 73 when the 74's appeared.

We are in the midst of the transition to homogenous design. Uniqueness in danger. I believe the fabled Z will emerge -- lets hope it doesn't have a huge wing on the back to go with the tail. It would be a genuine SPOILER.

Sip.

I'm honestly disturbed at the reaction from our community. Can we pleeeeeeaseee wait to see the reveal and some good pictures before we rip the Camaro team a new one..... good grief.

We know for a FACT that the Camaro ALWAYS looks better in person.


UGGGGHHHH

Honestly we haven't really seen anything of quality picture/video wise... I just don't see how we can judge it.

By the way I wasn't calling you out just so you know.... Just venting my frustration from the other thread.

It's all good ZBrother! I've always either liked something or not. Things don't grow on me. I love the angry edginess of the 2010-2013. The 2014 does not have that therefore I don't feel the emotion towards the refresh as I did from the original. It looks soft not edgy. I really really miss that.

I don't mean this in a bad way.... but I hope the reveal tomorrow proves you wrong and you like it.
