I guess what you've outlined is true for many, but generally my personal assessment of appearance doesn't change much from my first impression.
I didn't hate the C6 at all when I first saw it, in fact I loved it and still do. Same goes for the Mustang refresh in '10 and in '13 - both looked great to me instantly. I didn't even hate the '15 Mustang at first sight (unlike many), and don't hate it now, but I do still prefer the older ones. However the 5th gen Camaro refresh was a step backward and it hasn't grown on me at all; it seems the 6th gen just compounds this even further.

Better than I thought That turned out better than I thought. The new instrument panel alone is enough make it WAY better than the 5. The IP and the poor visibility turned me off big time on the 5th gen.
I was thinking about buying a used droptop 5th Gen next year but looks like I'll hold off and buy a 6th in a couple of years for my retirement gift!

Here's another view of the SS. Looks good imo. That interior looks really nice! Idk if they're going to but I'm sure the 1LE, Z28, & ZL1 will look pretty damn aggressive.
V6 not so much...

It doesn't look quite as bad in these full images, still not for me though.

Bwahahaha. What a pile of ****. Once again GM brings an engine to the table...... that's it. I'm not a fan of 5th gens This is definitely worse IMO. Won't grow on me, won't get my money. Point and laugh.
As above they've been hinting that this wouldn't be a major overhaul in looks. They didn't disappoint there. If there weren't enough people jumping ship for Mustangs.... They are going to flock now

I will have to see a new 6th gen in person before I pass judgement.
All in all it really doesn't matter to me, I cant afford any of them.
