It's been published repeatedly that the next model Camaro will probably release as a 2016 model based on the Alpha platform. This will be right behind the Mustang re-design, and around the same time the SRT Barracuda replaces the Challenger. If you take a look at the concept designs of the Mustang and Barracuda, you may get some clues as to where the style of the 6th gen Camaro will end up. Stick your 5th gen in the oven until the edges melt down a bit, and it sheds about 400lbs. The only thing that stops the Camaro from becoming really low and sleak is the Corvette.

A troubling note;
An article in Car & Driver this month about the Barracuda stated it may be offed with a 4-cylinder (possibly forced induction) since the Mustang and Camaro will offer that option in the next round...

...but the V-8's will stay. (if you can believe Car & Driver)
