The Most Dramatic Change to The New 2016 Camaro Is...... - Page 2

I test drove a 2015 1le and didn't think it had enough HP plus I didn't like the interior that much, so I decided to wait for the 16 because from what I heard and could see in videos the interior was much improved.

The interior, while vastly improved, has the same design language and styles as the 5th Gen.

Example..:

I've no doubt the materials are better, but they don't look that different.

I think the biggest changes are beneath the surface, which is where they needed to be the most.

Agree, on the interior. They just flipped the boob-tube and the center air vents and smoothed out the gauges. But left the dumb rabbit ears on top. Really HS. Power train and suspension/frame/weight is the reason to buy. Will have to see one live to comment on body changes.

Hyper Blue!

Several changes but I would say the major has to be the drive train and the Cadillac ATV Chassis!

Things I don't like...

Tiered sloping dashboard top.

Pedestal rear spoiler.
Rear bumper license plate cutout
A/C vent location.
Hood vent shape on SS models.
'70's Pong styled radio/Nav bezel.
SS emblem location.

So, I guess you won't be buying a 2016 Camaro?

The one most people will never see but will feel. The Alpha platform!

Too many to list. Everything is a dramatic charge lol.

Are you blind? Those two dashboards could not be more different.

So tell me...what's more different...

This:

To this:

Or the 5th Gen to the 6th Gen?

I'm not saying the interior isn't an improvement..it is! What I'm saying is it's not the stark, amazing revolution that some are making it out to be.

First thing came to my mind, I was like what are they talking about?
The interior changed dramatically.

They look QUITE a bit different. You might as well go ahead and say the 2014 Mustang and 2015 Mustang have pretty much the same interior as well. Just because the design language is similar, doesn't mean the end result looks the same. The side vents are in the same spot and you could argue that the dash on passenger side looks similar.

I see a huge difference, and definitely did when I sat in it as well.
