Well, maybe, they do it not because of the low sales, but because of the bad reaction about the styling. Tail lights, bumper, spoiler etc.... |

Nobody has noticed my post about the fnr-x concept. Maybe, Camaro will get some stuff from it? Look at the tail lights, I think they would look pretty good. What do you think? The main thing is that they know that people are disappointed,so I guess they know what to do. Doub't they are stupid enough to make that kind of facelift that we saw on the gen 5... P.s. The prvious gen looks much more balanced. And look how the quarter window is beautifully integrated. It is bigger and looks much better imho. Last edited by Brigante; 05-27-2017 at 08:16 AM. |

And I don't understand why they keep the same front for the zl1? :(

To me, the SS 1le is the only one that has the right look. Even then, larger side glass including the rear side would go a very, very long way. And a whole new shape for taillights.
I hope they learned their lesson for 7th gen. |

This thread has turned into nothing more than people saying why they like this or that about the 5th or 6th gen. That's fine, but it really is pointless to actually try and convince anyone else why the car they favor doesn't look as good as something else.
You could show me pictures of the 5th gen versus the 6th gen all day (not that I don't already know the design of each extremely well) and I will always pick it like this: 6th gen has a better looking and aggressive front end. Side profile is basically equal in my mind, and the rear end, I'd probably give the overall win to the 10 - 13 Camaros over the 6th gen. That said, I really love the LED "swoops" of the 6th gen in each taillamp...its just the outside shape of the lamp I don't care as much for. A couple aftermarket or GM mods, and the rear looks great in my opinion. Someone mentioned earlier that the 5th gen had more "WOW" factor when launched. Well I'd agree 100%. I was one of the first in my area to have one...it got attention galore. But that's b/c it was like driving a concept car on the road. There was nothing like it. For the 6th gen, GM played it "safe" and went with a design similar to the 5th gen, although the car is actually changed in every way. They went that direction b/c sales on the 5th gen we still "good" (outselling Mustang almost consistently for years and years) and their marketing research told them that owners wanted them to keep the 6th gen similar. So who can blame them for going the direction they did? It just makes sense. Hard to say how well the refresh might turn out, but I hope for the best. As for the 7th gen, assuming we get one (and I think we will) I'm going to expect an entirely new design for sure.

I hope they ditch the nostril extractors on the hood and go with something like the 5th gen refresh or even the current ZL1.

It's just too hard to tell. I prefer the shape of the current rear bumper. The camo makes the hood look like a barret sitting on top. It's not integrated to the shape of the new fenders. With the engines they are stuffing in there, they can't drop the height of the hood very much. I think different may be a more realistic styling goal than better, change for the sake or change.

You sir are quite delusional. 334,506 1st 5thGens up to the end of 2013 calendar year, sales dropped for 2014 refresh and further for 2015. FYI the tail light refresh was not widely received. And according to GM Auth, sales didn't improve for the all new 2016 Camaro. The 2nd lowest consecutive year. Hmm

If the Camaro existed in a vacuum then just looking at its sales data, also some of your sales data might be wrong....
2009: 61,648 2010: 81,299 2011: 88,249 2012: 84,391 2013: 80,567 2014: 86,297 2015: 77,502 BTW for 2015 there was a new Mustang on sale which certainly impacted Camaro sales, so no the 2014 refresh didn't ruin 5th generation Camaro sales.... |
