I still like my fifth gen for sure. The sixth gen doesn't appeal to me exterior wise. I don't understand why they put the ss and rs badge on the lower left rear bumper instead of the trunk lid. I would like to have a fifth gen exterior with sixth gen interior personally.

I'll watch the show from my brand new 1LE and maybe in a few years when the bugs are worked out look into them again.

I would have thought with all the people getting rock chips in the "gill areas" of the Gen 5's they would have designed the new Gen 6's so this area had some protection.

Looks like the front tires still stick out far enough (based of the pic of that black SS) to throw rocks/pebbles down the sides of the car. Looks like rear guards may also be a necessity judging by the look of the paint behind the rear tire.

I couldn't imagine spending $47k on a new 2016 2SS, and having rock chips in the paint the first week.

Thats not a black ss its a blue velvet colored exterior. My camera may have not picked it up very well.

If I had the 1SS I would agree. However the C5 2SS RS trim was something special IMO. Especially with the Orange interior. I love the translucent door panels and dash and the four gauges. To me it's unique and just cool somehow. Brings out the teenager in me. The C6 I don't see as retro. It's more becoming like a Euro exterior and a Vette interior. I don't like the direction they're headed whereas I like the direction the Mustang exterior design is headed. Although either can do an about face.

The badge placement on the back end of the car is odd.... Whole rear of the car is trash. Rest of the car is iffy. Interior is nice. Shame they put such a good drive train in such an ugly car.

If you had a 2016 v6 camaro and v8 side by side you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I think the only way to tell the difference between the two trims is looking at the front bumper for the vertical/horizontal lights.

What about the brembo brakes. The the V6 have them? That would be an easy way to tell

Very true. I forgot the other differences between the two as well.
