The 6th Gen Camaro is definitely an evolution of the 5th Gen design.
But I don't get how you don't like the new interior. It's clearly an evolution too, you see a lot of similiar design elements.
Overall the 6th Gen is a more modern and sporty version of the 2014th refresh, but who can blame Chevy after the huge success of the 5th Gen? I love it, it's an awesome hybrid between muscle and sporty look.
Also if you want better performance, you just can't keep the bulky exterior of the 5th gen. Todays Performance cars have to find a sweet spot between what designers want and what is useful. You also have to design elements like hood vents and lights that they are legal in regions like EU.
I don't think going full into european look is the way too go for a pony car. Just buy an Audi or BMW if you want that luxus sedan look. I think the S550 is a great looking car, but the new Mustang refresh is really disappointing. Saw it at IAA, it really lost a lot of the american looks with that flat boring hood.
