5th gen is a very good looking car...even stock. But over time its natural to become "numb" to the look when back in 2009 everyone's eyeballs we're popping out just to get a look at one.

So that's why I modded mine! Keeps it fresh, and keeps is looking great. I will always mod any "fun" vehicle of mine....I can't keep em stock lol

always thought of the 5th gen as "cartoonish" with the truck wheels,gills,mail slot, wheel archs. It was trying to hard for attention. I think the 6th Gen fixed all of that. although the 14 refreshed did help alot and i do like the Z28. The refresh mixed with those amazing wheels and the aero really change the car IMO.

I sure hope they do something big about those interiors because it looks like absolute crap in the previous model years. I started to test drive a 2014 until I saw the interior

How do you start to test drive until you saw the interior?

By going to the dealership to test drive one and then looking inside one and leaving the dealership

Except maybe the 2010-2012 Gen 5 Camaro.

If GM never changed their design, they wouldn't be a classic throughout the last 48 years, as you say. They'd be littered all over the place and lose their uniqueness; it needed to evolve. Emulating their design cues will pay homage and rekindle a little flame within enthusiasts and aging racers but GM knows the Camaro needs to evolve with the times, or die. Otherwise, drum brakes and carbureted motors would still be factory options.

I don't know where folks get the idea that styling cues are what killed off the Camaro previously. I'm pretty sure it had more to do with an ambiguous approach to their vehicle line-up, most notably between Chevrolet and Pontiac. Which in turn lead to poor sales in comparison to their chief rival; I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the Camaro and Firebird being out sold, combined. There's a laundry list of theories, reasons, etc. as to why GM killed it off. I don't think moving past the design cues of a 1960's model car was one of them.

I, personally, love the 60's era cars. I do not, however, like the 10-13 model Camaros; which I'm sure is blasphemy to some of you. I think they should have left it on the concept floor but, with that being said, a lot of folks did like it and those sales helped to usher in the coming models that we have the privilege to not only own, but scrutinize.

Ed Welburn in the press release basically said the the Gen 6 Camaro is a Gen 5 Camaro that "went to the gym and came out with a lithe, more athletic physique." It will remind people of the Gen 5 but from what we have seen it will be quite different, both in looks and performance. I am looking forward to seeing it.

either my wording or your reading comprehension

Trust me, it's not the latter.

"I started to test drive a 2014 until I saw the interior". Have a good day, sir.
