Someone point out the differences please
 

Hello all,

I know I am probably sounding dumb here but what can ya do? I have looked at all of the teaser pics of the 6th Gen, and I do not see much change in the exterior over the 5th gen. The body lines look almost identical to me. Can anyone point out obvious difference I am issing. The one difference I see is the wheel arches over the back wheels do not look as big. But that is all I can see. :noidea:

:reposthorse:

:facepalm:

Well the easy things to spot are a smaller upper grille opening, larger lower grille opening, LED strips in the headlights instead of Halos, the indentation in the lower door is larger in front and tapers towards the back and more rounded, opposite of the 5th gen. The rear side window is a different shape, the roof has more of a fastback appearance, the tail lights look like they will still wrap around but will taper more towards the center of the trunk. The license cutout will be more stylish instead of a big recessed rectangle.
Plus it will have a new Camaro badge. That's all I can think of just through my memory...

These two threads are lengthy, but your best bet:

it's the same exact car, no differences externally planned until 2022

The folks in 2022 are gonna be pissed that it doesn't look like a Camaro anymore.

Until then I guess we just have to live with a Camaro that looks like a Camaro...damn the insanity!

This illustrative image has been out a long time:

EVOLUTIONARY design, keyword is EVOLUTION

It's more in the details. But to me it's disappointing, I would have prefered a more standalone new gen (like every other camaro gen before!)
That brought me to ordering a 2015 Mustang (I know some people dont like it, but at least it looks like a car out of 2015, not 2005)

I personally was not a fan of the 2014 refresh, and still do not like what they did with the front(narrower upper grille, big gaping lower). The tail lights have grown on me a little though.

But it looks as though the 6th Gen will follow in the 2014 refreshed styling, so for me, that is a bit of a let down. The 6th gen seems like they just made the refreshed 5th gen fit the smaller Alpha platform, and only changed what they needed to, to make it work with the smaller chassis. That's not evolutionary to me.

We haven't seen any non camouflaged 6th gens yet. Who knows what's really hiding underneath those swirls and twirls? Well, who knows outside of GM/Chevy I mean... I am pretty excited to see the interior though!

hello new member here. I don't mind the 2014 refresh so just making it more sleek and cleaning it up is fine with me. Honestly if it comes with the rumored 460 hp lt1 3700 lbs, 1.0 lateral g and 35k starting price almost nothing is dropping me from getting one. The only question is to look for a 1ss with 1le option

I need that picture for my phone but can't save it from that website.

im gonna get a 5th generation sooner or later. i like the 2010 styling also, over the 2014 and up styling.........

Smh, I'm still new to this forum but idk how people can say they are disappointed ...I wanna know where these pix are that show the car fully to justify being disappointed already. ..

If that ends up being a true rep of the 6th gen, I think I will prefer pretty much everything about the 5th gen over it except the overall size and probably the interior.

That side view looks a lot like my '06 G35 Coupe, which I still like very much. It's going to be replaced by a 2016 Gen6.

I really don't think they have nailed it. there are several obvious things I can see wrong on that render, like the shape of the side rear window and the indention of the lower body is wrong, also the top of the rear quarter panel isn't right, its going to be shaped more like the 5th gen. so I wouldn't go by that to judge it 6th, also the front and rear are not shown...

Wait until the car is revealed and I'm sure you will be shown or told every minute difference between the 5th and 6th gens.

Along with some saying how much they hate it..... and how it now looks like a ( Insert car name here ).:bellyroll:

Chazcron took that Top Speed image & corrected the 6th gen:

And this is a recent gif he did

THIS is probably pretty accurate.

If it looks like that then POW, home run in my book!

Your playing with short fences ... hah ha

And a little league field. :lol:

I guess you don't like his render?

His rendering is great! He even added the Gen6 emblem. The object of the rendering only makes it to 2nd base IMO

I take it not dramatic enough of a departure for you and too similar to the 5th gen. Which if that is the case, makes your 5th gen a first base hit?

Bazinga!

Tooo similar to 5th Gen (and I really don't like the hood nostrils if they're on). I was expecting better. Don't think we'll see back to back home runs. I'll let the rest of the forum reply to your reference of the 5th Gen being a single after 6 yrs of sales records.

I have seen many posts stating the opposite, that they didn't want it to go away from the 5th gen very much, so what you don't like about it others will love about it... Just like every design....
I think his render, if accurate, looks like a more refined version of the 5th gen, and that is what appeals to me.

That's what I was trying to get out, the 5th gen was a huge hit so why "reinvent the wheel" in terms of looks. It's one thing to say you hoped for more radical changes but you still think the car is great looking. A lot of people on here (not necessarily you) talk like they hate the looks, but yet they have a 5th gen. It's like saying your wife's twin sister is hideous.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying I don't think you're going to hit back to back home runs with the 6th gen.

Maybe true. I know a lot of people in the Ford camp did not like the new car's looks and assured everyone it would flop. We will have to wait and see.

The render is great.

The car that Chazcron is rendering is not.

1) the quarter window is misshapen (looks like the quarter window from a mid-'70s Ford Falcon (from Australia). Not American muscle/pony car looking at all
2) the rear quarter panel shoulder line is wrong. It dives too far downward as you trace it from back to front
3) the upper fender line is wrong. It snuggles up too close to the belt line and doesn't meet the rear quarter shoulder line
4) the side coving is wrong. It's deeper in the front than the rear (opposite of the 5th gen). Plus, it's not sharply defined. There's no edge between the body side and the start of the coving.
5) the wheel arches are ill-defined. There is no crease between the body side and the start of the arch.
6) the side lost it's mid-line crease (runs thru the middle of the door).
7) and I'm not sure about this (because it's hard to see), but I think the C-pillar lost its faceting.

Overall, the new car comes across as much softer than the current car.
Not sure the new, softer look is appropriate for an American muscle/pony car.

Will have to wait for reveal for final judgment/opinion.

To me the rear side window looks like a smaller version of the 67-68 Chevelle
The side coving is mimicking the new Stingray's as are the wheel arches.
Now those other points I can see but I do not see it as anything negative. Like I said it looks more refined. A natural progression of design. "Evolutionary, not Revolutionary" that's what they were going for and I think that's what we see.

But as I have said its all subjective, some will love it, some will hate it and some will jump on whichever bandwagon is most popular....

I think they have a better chance at a 6th gen home run with an evolution of the 5th gen, which was a Grand Slam, imo. Rather than trying to come up with a new design and get a home run.

Interesting.

To my sensibility, it looks like a watered down version. Homogenized for mass consumption. The bourgeois take on the 5th Gen's edgier visual design cues. And that's what doesn't appeal to me.

Then again, we could all be surprised come 5/16. The devil is in the details.
