Why does everyone think the Gen6 will be based off of the 1st gen? To my knowledge......no one at GM has even officially said there will BE a 6th gen yet...or that it will be based on the 1st gen again.
First generation: 1967–1969 (3 years)
Second generation: 1970–1981(12 years)
Third generation: 1982–1992(11 years)
Fourth generation: 1993–2002(10 years)
7 year gap
Fifth generation: 2010-2014(4 years so far)
With sequestration and still recovering from the recession and every car manufacturer limiting platforms and vehicle types to save $...... does everyone really think GM is going to have a completely new redesigned gen 6 Camaro ready in 16' based on the 1st gen?

GM has confirmed there's going to be a 6th gen by saying the next generation Camaro is being built in Lansing, MI, but it was left open ended as to when that would be. Fortunately for us fans, the Canadian Autoworkers then promptly proclaimed they would need something to fill the void in Oshawa by late 2015 - maybe it's not 2+2, but it seems a safe assumption that if Oshawa is going to need something to replace the Camaro line by late 2015, then that'd mean by late 2015 the Camaro is moved to Lansing, IE the next generation Camaro would be a 2016 model year.
Based on the 1st gen? Anybody's guess, my personal opinion - no.
That said -- while the MODEL YEARS for the 5th gen are only 2010-2014, you have to keep in mind that the DESIGN has been around since January 2006. It's an old design.
I personally hope it's revolutionary like the Corvette was. Recognizable as a Camaro with cues to the heritage, but unique and not a modern interpretation of any of the previous generations.
