I've always wondered why GM doesn't offer a red interior on the 5th gens. |

Seriously. The design was getting old. If you count the lead time from the original concept, it was around a seven year old design.

International Race of Champions......had it on the side of my 89. IMO, the Fbody Trans Am looked better as the actual race car. I cant remember if Dodge had the rights to use the badging before or after GM.

Wrong section or not.....
I am glad that the Camaro received an update for '14. It is in a lot better shape than the Challenger, which to me looks identical to the '08 model. The '14 update keeps the Camaro looking fresh, and it has done miracles for the 1LE...........the 1LE looks so killer with the hood and with the updated grille and aft. The ZL1 imo also took well to the new rear, as it looks more aggressive, and the rear skirt works well with the plastic valence. Its time for Chevy and GM to get back into taking risks and making bold and innovative strokes in their car designs. We've had too much of "staying the course" and "playing it safe".

^yup. Its ashame too, because I happen to like the challenger. But even a good design goes bad if it doesn't at least grow or update after a couple of years.

I agree with the comments about the Challenger. The concept Camaro rocked the world in 2006 and when Transformers came out in 2007...I believe it made up people's minds to have the Camaro.
I was so impressed I had to have the look of Bumblebee. The Camaro are changing and that's a good thing - I just wish I had enough money to buy more of them! |

Why not offer the headlamp covers as an option rather than standard? |

Challenger is sexy. Exterior is refined and definitely nothing out there on the road that looks like it. ZL1 should have kept the old tail light style but possibly made it like the Euro style or something redefined like the afterburner concept instead of going with the updated rear end. IMO. |

Actually you'd be surprised how many people see a Challenger/Camaro and mistake it for a Camaro/Challenger.

..still cannot overlook that hideously designed '14 tail-end, which can be mistaken for a challenger's rear end, but not earlier models.

Things change, they have to, I didn't like the redesign initially but it gradually grew on me. I've now ordered a white 2014 1LE, looks fantastic in that package, as someone else mentioned.
