I'm obviously in the minority but I'm pretty much OK with the changes. Looking forward to seeing better pictures of the back end to know for sure. Still hoping for those performance upgrades.

I like it, it's still a beautiful car. But I'll take my 2010 2SS design over the chrome strip, no mail slot, and I hate the tail lights.

I am praying that they showed off a euro version on Kelly & Michael and the US version won't have the indentation for a giant license plate on the back or the elton john eyeglasses tail lights.

And that Jag looks far too Asian for my liking. Nothing British sport about that car at all.

I'm not a juge fan of the rear tail lights, but the rest isn't all bad. Nice thing for us that have the original 5th Gens is that we have the classic collectables.

The party is OVER

Wow, read all the posts in this thread! I do not care for the grille, the hood looks cheap and tacky, the rear bumper and tailamps look softer and feminine. The car doesn't have the mean looking musclecar stare anymore...front or rear! Iguess GM is slowly watering the 5th gen design down to get buyers ready for the 6th gen...as in... don't expect the next model to come even CLOSE to the "retro" looking 5th gen. I guess the party is OVER.

Wow. I've been trying to think of a word to describe this redesign all day. I don't hate it, but it sure doesn't impress.

Then it hit me. They've taken the burly man-beast that was the 5th gen Camaro and made it...metrosexual.
