Seeing a pattern here? Use your imagination, and I think you can see what GM is doing with the Camaro. Of course, I could be wrong, but I wonder if they are doing the same basic headlight/grille squatted down look for all their cars for 2014.

I like the 69 Camaro look of the current car, so I am thankful that the 1LE came out for the 2013 model year. This refresh may bring in more people who are going to like a different look.
The new Malibu looks like this too... Don't get me wrong I like the Chevy designs, I just wish it was not repeated across every vehicle... There are different models for different taste's. Now if you want a different look you have to go to a different brand/make...

Let me remind everyone of the 50/50/80 rule..........

I've watched it happen for 40+ years...................


IT'S A GREAT TIME TO BE A CAMARO ENTHUSIAST!!!!

Thats the most accurate thing I have ever read here. I bitch about shit paint and some other things here and there but never have thought the Camaro wasnt visually stunning for its time when it came out. I still think the 3rd gen Irocs are stunning iconic cars.

I have fond memories of a Camaro with a chrome strip around the nose (my 71 Camaro).

- what about the RS halos?..smaller(like in BMWs?)
- maybe the chrome edging will be a trim option..
- maybe not a a camaro, but a a new Chevelle(why refresh on success?)

- rather 'trapezoidal' looking front, similar to that of a '02 Honda Odyssey

I'm part of the 20% that knows what I dislike, and continue to dislike it because I don't ever dislike things without really good reasons which don't change over time.

Oh God NO... Please say it aint so Joe ?!?!?!?

I dont like the chrome strip in the grill of the new C7 Vette and hate to see it going on the Camaro... I hope they do not start putting that ugly chrome trim on all the Perf. / Muscle cars... Please leave that stuff at Autozone with the wire wheel hub caps.

That will have to be the first required mod to be done very quickly to get rid of that chrome... Paint black or cover it up with a black stripe.

Still looking forward to seeing the rest of the car.

But that chrome trim has got to GO.
