Looking at all of those, it honestly looks like the 6th gen has the best side profile. As someone else said, it looks like it's going 100 mph sitting still.

That's not a good shot of the 5th gen. Makes it look especially bulbous.

Best picture in general is of the 1st gen.

I personally think the 1st gen looks the best, but i'm a bit biased. However, I do feel that the 6th gen has the ability to beat it.

I hope they do not stray to far away from the Camaro "look", They said no retro, my opinion, if it stops looking like a Camaro, it won't be a Camaro. Just look at the voting. 46% 1st Gen!!!

That's like saying the new Corvette doesn't look like a Corvette because it in no way resembles a 1953 model. Models change, sometimes for the better.

That's a terrible picture of the 5th gen.
Weird angle and borderline fisheye lens?

They make it look short, squat, & thick. They don't look like that in real life.



And the 4th gen has to be the worst of the gens. God, those were so bad, aesthetically speaking.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw it.

Anyways, my vote would go for gen 5 or gen 6.

Well yes it does. Out of all the vettes the C3's where the worst sellers toward the end of the run they are the ones that broke away from the mold. The C4's sold a little better. Then GM came out with the C5 and returned to the original look and roots of the vette. Had some 61-62 looks in it. Todays vette is the evolution out the basic vette persona. The Camaro 4 was the designers break away from the mold nothing hanging on from the past and we see what happened to that, 2002 the year Camaro died..

A C3 looks a lot more like a C1 than a C5 does. C4's are the worst looking, in my opinion.

Interesting. The CA6 looks the sleekest. But the CA5 looks the baddest.

Why do people keep assuming the Camaro died in 02 just because of sales. It died because the 4th Gen platform could no longer pass safety regs put into place for 03. There was zero effort put forward to sell them towards the end of the cycle. I bought an 02 Ws6 in 01, in nyc NO ONE knew what it was. I seriously had the only one around. The dealers did not have them on the lots.. They were extinct way before 02.

Because sales sucked.
