Everyone hates it because we all have an outdated model now. We want to believe ours is better so we get defensive. I don't hate it, but I feel its softer than the 16-18's.

You want a job at GM? That render fixed most peoples grip about the car.

Not feeling it... I'd have to see it in person

Oh... that's a flowtie in that section I see a plastic plug in Phastek's future.

Looks so much better with the bowtie above the plastic on the grille...(photoshopped)

I don’t like it and my car has been “outdated” for 3 years now.

I like it. It’s better than the early 6th gen. Hopefully this car will save the Camaro.

That makes a huge difference.

Yeah! Even without painting that middle section it looks good with the bowtie up there.

Agreed! The official Chevy press release says: " the Turbo 1LE comes exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission"....

Personally I think it's an improvement and most will by next year when they're on the road. I do wish the side windows were larger though.

The rear is an especially big ++++. The current rear is not good.

I am in the few that like the design of the current rear LOL. I think the rear of this might be the worst. Reminds me of the previous gen Malibu

With the Flowtie being in the center of the bumper, I wonder where the front license plate will be mounted for cars in Texas. I hate that we have this stupid law!

I seem to remember it being called a flowtie somewhere this morning. It'd be even better if it weren't. Less work to fill and move if it was just an emblem

I specifically limited my ZL1 search to 2012-13's to avoid the redesigned rear
