Pics of the 2016 SS and RS(maybe already seen)
http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars...usive-photos/?
I'm not sure if these were previously shown on LS1tech, but I looked them over and decided to bring 'em.
There's only 1 "not so great" aspect for me. Initially, I pointed out I didn't like the fit & finish of the seats. After looking at these pics, I'm even less impressed. Production models are going to need better treatment. The last photo stands out, if none of the loose fitting seat covers do.
That said, the exterior looks pretty much flawless. I really do like it more and more. Even the commonly complained about tail lights look pleasant enough to me. It's just pretty much what I envisioned in Camaro. Also, I like the deep tan coloring inside and even the red looks good now. It beats the snot outta the typical dark interior.

The seats do look a little odd in the shoulders, but they also look a lot more supportive than the 5th gen seats. Those are comfy, but don't hold you at all

As more pictures roll out, I can better see both the flaws and the potential; the things that bothered me initially are bothering me even more, while the areas I found to be neutral are looking better. So I guess it's a zero-sum for me.

Photos that have circulated since the initial pictures do make the car look better, but the lower grille for the SS models still needs to be cleaned up (too big/flat/somehow misproportioned - the base model grille looks better IMO), the LEDs are still a bit tacky in placement and/or quantity, the rear bumper contours just below the tail lights seem to be a complete afterthought that needs to be corrected/removed, the tail lights themselves could be done better (something closer to the early 5th gens), and the interior would look better in all black vs. the multi-color setup (looks too busy as it is, adding more colors only worsens that IMO.)

Overall, I really do like it and I'm not too concerned about those loose fittin' seats... I basically think that will be corrected for production.
