Yeah, I know. Looks like they just put a different bumper. The hood and everything else looks the same. I think there is gonna be a little more evolution than just the bumper.

If it looks like that the average person won't know the difference between the C5 and a C6. I still expect a few surprises when the C6 is finally revealed.

I'm not even sure why they are calling it a "6th Gen" The 1998 Camaro had a lot of upgrades and changes in comparison to the 1997 Camaro.. it remained a 4th Gen

From what you can see, the 6th Gen looks so much like a 5th gen it seems almost a waste to call it a different generation of Camaro

For those that will debate this. The 1998 Z28 got a totally different motor, different interior, totally different looking headlights, grill, tail lights.. heck everything was different about the 98-02 Z28. Yes, they still looked "similar"

If Camaros only came in silver, I never would have bought one.

Another rendering that doesn't acknowledge anything shown to us when the car was still under the camo padding... or the new wheels... or the gas tank being on the correct side...

I see where you're coming from styling wise, but we have known for a while that styling would be evolved from the refreshed gen 5 to gen 6. I expect there to be enough difference in front/rear fascia, side profile and overall size to tell a gen 5 from a gen 6.

On to your point about 97 to 98 4th gen refresh... the chassis and suspension design were both unchanged, the interior and tail lights were both UNCHANGED between 97 and 98, transmission was unchanged. The only major changes between 97 and 98 was the LS1, front fascia and lights, and the rear spoiler on ss cars... that's it.

The sixth gen is going to have an entirely new chassis, suspension, engine, transmission, interior, etc etc. This is more than enough to warrant a new generation, even if the styling is evolved.

It's a new generation because it is being built on a completely different platform. The 5th generation is on the Zeta and the 6th generation is going on the Alpha. Not to mention the entire drivetrain will be different as well. Every nut and bolt on the car will be different.
