Styling is a weird thing, sometimes it just takes time to grow on you. I couldn't stand the rear of the 2014-15 at first but then I started to like it. I loved the front though.

I laughed a little when I first saw the redesigned rear end on the 2014 since it had a strong resemblance to a Prelude. But I grew to like it and prefer it over both the 2010 and 2016.

The front end is clearly better on the 2014 vs 2010, and I think looks less busy and better defined than the 2016. The 2016 doesn't have any flow to it at all.

Looks pretty sharp to my eye. I definitely prefer the 2016 rear the most. I am not really sure how anyone could think this is not sporty or aggressive looking enough. And we don't even have the 1LE, ZL1 or Z28 out yet.

Is his seat as low to the ground as possible? I'm 6ft and have sat in a bunch of 6th gens with varying seat height positions and I've always been fine. I sit straight up too, not slouched.

1LE with more aggressive wheel/tire combo, hood wrap, red calipers, front splitter, etc.

There are no issues with the front seats. It is the rear seats where his head touches the roof. They aren't adjustable to the best of my knowledge.

Same here. I guess in some areas it differs.

Secondly, I am far from a 6th gen fanboy. I have owned 6 Camaro's from three different generations. I loved my 2011 Camaro 2SS also, but fell head over heels in love with the 6th gen the moment it was revealed; however, I do agree that the styling was not a drastic change from the late 5th gen models and that could very well been a factor in the car not receiving much hype. If you people weren't so ignorant and would look past the subtle styling changes, they would realize the 6th gen is a drastically different car than the 5th gen.
Totally agree. Anyone who thinks there weren't major changes, does not know anything about cars. If you are going for looks and price, buy a Hyundai

And if you meant rear seat leg room..........
Maybe they did that to keep Tiger Woods from driving one. Look what his ex did to the Escalade

I can see that there is no space for head back there

Now let's list the advantages the Camaro SS has over the Mustang GT

- Gas Mileage
- Handling
- Power
- Braking
- Amenities
- Frontal crash safety rating

If you can think of any more please list them.
I can think of one really big one. The public seems to want the Mustang and not the Camaro.

I disagree. With just the 0% financing offer the purchases of the Gen6 have spiked. Im sure that will bring up July sales and with any other incentives, it will continue to climb.

The people like the Camaro more and it's a far better car, they're just waiting for incentives.

Maybe your right this will have an impact. But for me even with the 0% and GM employee discount I can't bring myself to pull the trigger. Maybe the 1LE package will make the car look better to me and I can take the jump, but for now it is sit and wait along with many others it seems.

Now the 16's powertrain in the 15 1LE package, I would have one sitting in my garage now
