A-

I don't care for the hood nostrils or rear spoiler but otherwise love the look and proportions. Especially like the rear glass slope and the quarter windows. The interior is a home run.

Biggest concern I have going forward is whether the next ZL1 will have a proper sized blower (I.e. no 1.7L ).

I don't see any "conflicting lines" - the only things I'm not crazy about are the nostrils and the stanchion spoiler. All in all it's a good evolution and I will be buying one.

Do I like everything about the new Camaro? Nope, Id have liked the front to be more balanced, the lower fascia is way too large, but I understand why it is that way, form following function with the increased radiators and all.
I would have also liked a more aggressive look, more like 5th gen where those cars look like they want to punch you in the face, especially '10-'13, but its close to where I want it.
C & D for me
I like it, Id love a couple of things changed, but overall Its a great evolution.

I agree....C & D

C) Think its a good evolution of the current car?
I do like the direction they went with the 6th gen. It is more athletic and muscular. I do love the interior, that's A1...but the execution of some exterior details is where it fails, imho.

D) Think it could have been better?
Yep. The tail lights BIG disappointment. With the Stingray tail lights for inspiration they should've been a home run but only a bloop single. Heck the RS tail lights in my '15 are better than these. And the multiple planes on the rear bumper mostly just don't flow, a bit overworked. A little on the front bumper as well on the non SS front bumper in the headlight area, but hard to tell from photos. The hood vents, aaaack; I'm glad they have them, just not inspired by the way they look. Also read somewhere that the bolt pattern on the wheels is different.

But with that said....I'll wait to see the different versions of the car in person.

I love the look of the new SS from all angles. The only thing I don't like is the spoiler so I'll be replacing that. I think the new Mustang looks great, I like it overall and I've never liked Mustangs, but it does feel a tad too long in the front for me. I think the Mustang rear is amazing. But I wouldn't take it over the new SS.

I'll really need to see it in person, but from the pictures I'm not blown away. I wish the overall shape of the car didn't look so much like the 5th gen. The SS front has too many creases in it for my taste, and I don't particularly like the back end and tail lights. Hopefully it's better in person.

I'm starting to really like the 2015 Mustang, though. The back looks low and wide compared to the Camaro, and the front doesn't look like a Fusion to me anymore.

I vote E for now. I need to see it in person. Online pictures never do well for me. Some things I love in pictures and hate in person and some things I hate in pictures and love in person.

The one thing I would change is those hood nostrils. The hate has calmed to a serious dislike but I don't think that would be enough to prevent me from buying one.

A for me
I'm actually really happy they did more to distinguish the SS from the LT, but even with that I love the looks of the LT with the RS package, it looks like the camaro in transformers 4 which i actually liked the design of.
But I feel like the car will be better looking in person, i didn't like the new mustang when i saw it in pics but after seeing it in person several times the looks grew on me.

I think definitely C, and then I swap back and forth between A and D.

The way I felt when I first saw it was that that I did not hate it.
It didn't make me excited, but I didn't hate it.

Now I thought well lets look at the new Mustang, when it was first revealed, I couldn't believe how ugly it was. Before I go on, I am a car guy, doesn't matter what it is, what brand what model, if its a great car I can appreciate it. Plus we have a 05 mustang at home that parks beside my 5th gen

The new mustang has absolutely grown on me tremendously, to the point that I drool at the Blue 5.0s that blow by me.

So if the Mustang, which I absolutely hated grew on me, then this design, which I am not wowed by, is something I'm guessing I will learn to absolutely love.

There are parts of it that I dislike, but then I started seeing renders of simple mods and went WOW

I think in the hands of the enthusiasts, properly modded this car will look great.

On a side note, do you guys remember the pics of the group of 6th gens? In the group there was a silver LT. I remember seeing that and really loving it. Looked Camaro but different, new and bold.

Ill try and post the pic

This is pretty much my sentiment. From an aesthetics perspective, I would take the new Mustang and Challenger over the new Camaro. Once the Camaro comes out, I will drive all three, and see which one I like the best.

I'm only holding out to drive the Camaro because the reliability of the Challenger scares me (<5 year old cars with rust issues), and the stigma attached to being a Mustang owner isn't particularly enticing to me.

I think it looks great but I'm not gonna be really excited until I see more actual videos or see it in person. Really need to see the interior in person or a good detailed review of it. Definitely waiting for either a 1LE or ZL1.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the rear of my car, but the 16 is even worse imo. Very weird lines on the bumper, and that spoiler is too 90's.

I like the weight reduction and the LT1 engine. The front looks cool, the fascia has a weird thing going on with the corners, like a really sharp edge but it might look cool in person.

Mainly the rear and even the over the top interior design for the doors is just not working for me unfortunately.

A. Loved it since it pulled onto the stage at the reveal.
You have to see it in person to appreciate how all the new styling details work together.
