Reveled on Kelly & Michael????

I think it actually looks worse and it doesn't look like anything was done to the interior which is the weakest part of the car.

I like the toned down grill better, but it's hard to tell overall from the photos. I still think the body in general makes a better Firebird/TransAm than a Camaro though. Like the one from Hurst in this "we need to hire professional actors next time" ad:

Looks like they're alcantarafying everything. Oooooh boy. Alcantara doesn't hold up well to human oil, just ask my old smooth as a bar of soap steering wheel.

Meehow86 · 03-26-2013, 05:43 PM

I like the current taillights a lot more then the refreshed ones.

Mr.Jay · 03-26-2013, 06:00 PM

Looks a lot worse IMHO as well

the new taillights are the extra ugly on top!

I agree on the tail lights, definitely like the current tail lights better.

ZDan · 03-27-2013, 11:12 AM

Maybe the Corvette guys insisted that the Camaro tails be redesigned to reduce complaints of "Camaro taillights" on the C7!

I like the front end better, but there's no disguising that this car is basically the 2-door version of a giant, hulking, full-sized sedan. Hoping for a much smaller, lower, lighter-weight 6th gen (but not expecting it!).

GM can't mid cycle refresh properly.

m.wood0213 · 03-27-2013, 01:14 PM

Anyone else think that this is probably another American muscle car with a POINTLESS hood scoop/vent.

NorseLegend · 03-27-2013, 01:29 PM

I think the front looks a lot better.....

One of the things I hate with the current Camaro is that though it looks daunting, the whole front end and really the bottom part of the car look too large for the cabin and the windows. It was just not proportional to my eye.

But yeah, those taillights they screwed up on. Fugly.

Big dumb rectangular hood vent is reportedly functional. Unlike the pointless simulated brake vents and dummy side vents on the BRZ
