It's very sexy IMHO. I still hate the interior though. GM can't make a nice interior.

I want to like the Vette, but i can't help but be disgusted by its rear end. The side profile is fine and the rest is okay, but i very strongly prefer all previous Corvettes. (50s aside)

When they brought back the Camaro they ruined it. Heavy POS.

Besides the older ones that were made just into race cars... Please name any model off the showroom floor that was a great handling camaro.. Since its birth it was a muscle car and made to go fast, be powerful, and destroy tires.. Which as far as I know this one does the same.. I don't care for it much... I'd own it if it was given to me.. I liked the look and idea when it came out, but it's gotten old now..

I thought I was the only one who didn't like the styling anymore. Great when new, not even 2 years later it looked tired. I personally like the Mustang's styling over the Camaro and the retro-rape that is the Challenger.

While I like the C7's styling, I think a refresh would be needed after 3 years. Will that happen? No. Just look how much they haven't changed the Camaro.

Also, never said about it handling well. This one is just rediculously heavy.

Nope I agree 100% it got old quick.. I like the mustang the best.. I think the challenger should've been the charger.. All cars are going the way of over weight if you ask me
