Both look like some good looking Camaros to me

PS: DON'T drive or ride in the new one.. That what I did and you see what happen

Im innocent of course. And since this guy is fruggle im not conviced yet he will take it out. And maybe i should not go. Went to my brothers for a barbequea few years ago.....left with a $32,000 boat. Most expensive cheeseburger i ever had.

Me too, but I have a few problems with it exterior-wise. The gas door is behind the passenger door occupying a space where no gas door should be. It looks awkward and out of place IMO. They should have located it behind the rear wheel centerline like on the 5th gen.

The cut line on the rocker panel. On the 5th gen, the cut line was in a more logical place just above the bottom of the door. On the the 6th gen, the cut line goes up nearly halfway on the quarter panel. The eye is drawn to the cutline, just like the gas lid door, and makes it look awkward.

The rear quarter window shape. The shape reminds me of the '71-73 fastback Mustang. Many here probably don't know what they look like, but if you saw one you'd instantly know what I'm talking about.

The rear deck lid and bumper. There are a lot of interesting elements going on with the front end of the car, but it seems the designers fell asleep when they did the back end. I think this is where the "it looks like an import" comments come from.

The hood. They strayed away from the traditional cowl-type hood and went into a totally new direction. The problem is that it looks too damn rounded from the driver's seat and the nostril scoops do not do it any favors.

I think if they retained some type of cowl hood design, maybe similar to the new ZL1, it would have immensely benefited the look of the car especially from the driving position. The 5th gen may be a little dated, but the hood line is by far one the best of all Camaros except for maybe the 5th gen ZL1 or a '69 Z28.

Interior......

The driver's binnacle on the 6th gen is too tall giving the illusion that the car is much smaller inside than it really is. And, to had insult to injury, they sloped down the dash towards the passenger side furthering that effect. If you you take a look at an early Ford Maverick instrument panel, you will see a lot of similarities in design, some almost identical. lol!

Overall, the styling does not match the instant hit that the 5th gen was. After all, how can you improve on a heritage design without going to the next logical conclusion? That for me, would be the 2nd gen F-body with one piece side windows and an even longer hood and shorter rear deck design.

I think if GM did a retro 2nd gen design for the 6th gen, it would have been another smash hit like the 5th gen. However, they decided to play it safe this time, perhaps too safe IMO.

Nice cars in the pic!

The moment you mentioned interior, everything else you said just got discredited lol

They need to make it sound like this...

[LuvMI]

Nice sound.

I've owned 2SS's in both and while I can say the 6th gen is without a doubt the better car in every single aspect, I feel like the 5th gen is more "muscle" looking. I miss it sometimes even though it was slower, heavier, and had a pretty crappy interior.

I hate the refreshed 5th Gen tail lights. One of the worst. Also when I first saw a 6th Gen LT from a distance I thought that was a 2016 Malibu (from the taillights).

And when I saw a 2SS with the rear spoiler that then looked like a badass Camaro.

Doesn't seem overly loud to me though but I know those cars get a lot of love a lot more love than a 6 Gen Camaro but I will throw this at as well if you don't have an NPP on your SS the V6 sounds better with the NPP than your stock SS

At Idle this GN does sound better than my SS, but not a WOT. This sounds better than the V6 Cam at all throttle levels.

I don't agree with that at all having a hard time getting my post to show the picture the way yours did. In my opinion the v6 and V8 sounds terrible without an exhaust bro you need to do something to take care of that. I had the SLP loudmouth on my z28 and I've got a borla on my Sierra they sound terrible with out an exhaust. Here is another link to the v6 npp it sounds great to me, but haters gonna hate.

IMO the 6 Gen is much better than the 2010 Gen 5 SS that I owned. I agree the Gen 5 was more musclecar looking and that LS3 was a real good motor despite valve springs issues and other things. It weighed a little more and the interior was not as nice either. I did like the bigger interior size though but have gotten used to everything in my '16 and really enjoy it. Sometimes I do miss my modded '10 SS with the LS3 though but realize my '16 is a way much better Camaro than the '10 was!

Liked the banter back and forth. I have both a C5 2011 Vert and a C6 2016 Vert. When I first saw the C5 back in Nov. of 2009 I really liked what Chevy had done to with it. Had to wait for the Vert so didn't purchase one until the end of 2011. Enjoyed it a lot. But when the C6 came out and I saw the vert in person at CamaroFest I feel in love with the car and finally got, we think, the first vert in TN, March 2016.
I've had it for over a year and love it even more then when I first saw it. I enjoy driving it every day and it's a blast to drive. The compliments I get when people see it is just a bonus. So I agree with most that it C6 is better then C5.IMHO
