I like it but also don't get why GM waited so long just to scrunch the grille together change the taillights & put a ZL1 vent in the hood?

Id rather they just move onto the 6th gen! But they did a HORRIBLE job presenting this new facelift..

When the 5th gen came out the rear end was the hardest thing to warm up to- then the 1LE came back and I bought one despite that. Quite honestly the first thought that came to mind when i saw the rear of this was first gen Lexus SC400. The rear tails on the 5th were directly linked to 70-73 camaro DNA, that is now gone, replaced with 74 and up genes. Come think of it, it's also lost the egg crate grille from 69 as well..almost like they were chasing the stang with the Clint Eastwood squint.

Yea i noticed that also. The hood vents do look to small for the hood. The entire refresh just looks kinda weak. I mean with the huge size of General Motors this is the best they could do?

Here's to hoping that Michael and Kelly is the number one show in Romania. Maybe GM was giving the Europeans a sneak peak to make some inroads over there.

They should have at least brought Regis back for the release and made the show funny and somewhat watchable.
