If you think nobody thinks a 5th gen is a bad looking car, you are kidding yourself.

That said....overall, I think the 5th gen is a great looking car, and I think the majority of people think its somewhere in the range of just nice to totally awesome, but there are those who think otherwise. This goes for all pony cars.
So are people lying when they "outside " of Camaro 6 say your car is ugly? 5 years ownership....multiple car shows...meets and everything in between. Interacting with fellow car fans has given me a pretty idea where my car stands. Im just not sitting on a forum blowing smoke like alot if people do on here. I get out there and interact. I even get compliments when im staging at the drag strip. So for you to say in dont get off Camaro 5 much you couldnt be more wrong. I dont just talk the talk. You have almost twice the posts i have so maybe your the one that needs to get out more. Theres no cream for that. And on a serious note I dont hate 6th gen Camaros. I just like them less the my car.

Just like Gen 6ers are touchy, with low sales, so are Mustang Fan boys. They'd call Gen 5 Boxy, Ugly out of jealousy. Camaro 5 Gen wiped Mustang in sales 5 yrs running, that had to hurt. We have to take that for what it is, nonsense.

And before you go looney, Gen 6 is a nice looking ride, except the front end.

No doubt news of a 4 cylinder Camaro soured sales a bit. The hell I'd spend the money for a better Camaro that looks the same. The residual value on the secondary Market will plummet for turbo 4 bangers. You V8 guys bash the V6 for decades. What do you say on the turbo 4? Just sayin'

The new LS's will now doubt be Turbo 4s and LTs will have the option of T4 or V6.

seriously?it wasnt until i bought a camaro that i could really tell 5th gen from 6th if the car was moving and more than 10 feet away the 6th gen derives a whole lot of its design from the 5th gen.doubtful? park them side by side,theres no denying where those 6th gen body lines come from.not trying to make you mad,i like them both.and one of the reasons i didnt buy a discounted 2016 base model brand new was i didnt want the T4.i dont feel its a 200,000 mile engine even with proper maintenance.

That would be pretty damn funny, that's one 'diverse' designer if so...maybe with the Aztec, it was drawn by a righty using their left hand as a challenge?

Mid 30's for 2SS's are abundant. I almost bought used for 35 with 14k on it, but I found new for 2k more. It's a lot of car for the money and a hell of a lot of fun to drive.
AMEN Brother!

IMO it is just a smoother,lighter 5th gen.i dont get the hate,just like i dont understand the v8 guys bagging on the v6 guys.even the loaner T4 i drove wasnt lacking in power.
