I think they said from pretty much the beginning that the 6th gen design would be an evolution of the 5th gen and not a radically new one.

Looks good minus the back...not quite 2015 Mustang early but it's damn sure trying to be.

That tacked on spoiler looks after aftermarket and ricey. Other than that I like it and if it's 200 lbs light and makes 450+ hp it should be a fun car

It does look better than current, but it's largely in the lights. Not sold on the "squinted" tail lights, but I do like the Lexus like front end and I remember when we saw the Lexus against the ATS some time back and most here hated it.

whoever is in change of tail light design at GM needs to find a new career path, other than that it looks good overall.

I sure hope that they have changed the ugly interior.

I don't like it at all. The front end is just bloated and stupid looking with that narrow little grille; and the rest of the car is bland and blah. Not the mean, aggressive muscle car that I was hoping to see. I also agree that high spoiler looks tacked on and silly as well.

I agree completely. The styling updates are foul IMO.

I think the '10-13 styling was the high point for Camaro since it's return, the '14 updates were an abortion and this 6th gen is a continued step in the wrong styling direction.

The new Mustang isn't quite as good looking as the '10-'12 or '13-'14 versions either, but it's certainly a better looking car than what GM has offered us.

I give a negative score to the Camaro design team. They won't be getting me back into the showroom with this one.

Idonno guys... seems we'll have a different light on it tomorrow. We've seen a 1 angle glimpse of the front end and it looks wide(gotta hold tires under there), but the whole car may be a great fit in that regard. Many here had the same complaint about the 15 Mustang and now that it's on the road, we know millions really like it and I think the same result will be noted with the new Camaro. Perhaps not quite as many, but that wouldn't be abnormal.

Rear end is a little boring, but I think the car looks great. Slight drop with some nice wheels will have it looking mean as ****. I already really like the latest 1LE car, and this is a step in the right direction in my books, can't wait to see the new 1LE, ZL1 etc.

New car comes out, and people immediately look for whatever they can find to hate on.

So far I still like what I see, but I'm not sure if I like the dual hood vents it has, or the rear bumper, and I'm not that fond of the rear spoiler either. Now with that said I'm sure within 1 year there will be aftermarket hood and rear spoiler options available, and I still think the rear of it looks better than the Gen 5, 2014-15. Still like many people I really, really, hope the interior is noticeably improved.

Exactly. Everyone hated the C6, C7, 5th gen, refresh, 6th gen, etc. I need to see more pictures, but just from these pics I'm not sold on the rear. The front looks pretty damn great and the magnetic ride control on the SS is ****** awesome.

I've got to agree with you, justin455, and 'WHEELS' . We always repeat the same old cycle with every new generation that comes out.
