Let's be honest here, has there been a Camaro offered since 2010 that you did NOT think was perfect? If I was looking for a truly objective opinion, I doubt I would look to you as a source. That is not a cut on you, you are a Camaro enthusiast and you should be proud of it but, based on your posts, you are hardly the most unbiased person in the world when it comes to the modern pony cars.

Image quality & details are extremely important with this kind of thing so seeing something thats just a bit off or too grainy or whatever can lead to a bad initial impression that takes a while to erase. When I first saw that video of the 6th gen rolling onto the stage, I liked it. I like it even more now

You know, with this release I couldn't be any happier. It's an absolutely gorgeous change and I can't wait to be the proud owner of one.

I'm glad they fixed the (IMO) mistakes of the refresh. It was terrible, in my opinion. The front end was decent but the rear was just plain hideous. This fixes it for me.

This new interior... so perfect. Can't wait to sit in it myself. Now I'm excited to see where the modding community takes this one! If it's anything like the 5th gen I'll have to prepare my credit cards for major use!

same here, I just didn't think the pics were good on Friday, on purpose. Otherwise, why have a Friday test drive in a camo'ed car, and why leave the cover on in all morning long on Saturday.

I'm glad I didn't rush to judgement, i think the official pics are much more accurate.

I didn't care for the 14 refresh at first. Even after seeing it. Took some time.

But that's about it. I guess I should have said this one is more perfect!

I was very skeptical at first based on some renderings and spy shots.

But I have to admit that, while I have not seen the car in person yet, I do find myself liking the exterior a bit more each time I look at the reveal pics, especially of that red SS.

I am definitely sold on the interior and the power features already.

I absolutely love it... and I really want one. But since my car is only 8 months old. I hate to even think about getting one. I do have to say, I will eventually get one. I love the redesign and the interior is awesome.

Just the opposite. Originally did not like the exterior but thought the interior might be good. Now don't like either one.

Looking forward to seeing one in person. It's definitely grown on me, especially the front end!

I want to see the 1LE version. I really had those stupid, cheap looking air vents on the hood. Wish they had done something more aggressive for the SS

I still don't get this "grow on you" stuff. I think that is just people who want to like it (because they like Camaros) convincing themselves to like it. I think the new exterior looks nice. The front is fine except I think the lower front intake is too large. The back actually looks really good, except it isn't very unique. I could see that back being on any number of cars. My overall view of the exterior is that it is nice looking, but not as unique and definitively Camaro as the 5th Gen. I think the prior to 2014 5th Gen car looks better. I'm sure this car is a better performer and has a better interior. I'm a huge proponent of making it physically smaller and lighter. I think GM did a decent job and make some big improvements, but they lost something in the looks department.

The Mustang has grown on me, and i'm not a fan, nor am I planning on buying one.
