There are a few lines that we hadn't visualized yet.
- There is a line that runs from the base of the A-pillar, over the top of the side glass, and then back along the top/outside of the C-pillar down to the trunk lid. - The character line that's been rendered on this site as the fender line is not the fender line. It sits just under, runs under the side glass, and wraps up & around the quarter window. Plus, it's much sharper and more defined than what has been posted here before - You can see the trunk shut line.

So our preview was mostly spoiled. Not much meat on dem bones. Couple of character lines are more evident.
I got the bow tie right. |

Yeah. I kinda suspected the profile shot to be the same one that was sent to the reveal invitees. The front shot doesn't really tell us anything.

Ever since the first camo pictures I thought it looked more verticle and it was the Camaro emblem was coming back. The "M" in the headlight raised the percentage. Then they actually show the new emblem and I thought yeah it's happening. One of the biggest things I was hoping for is the Camaro emblem on the front. Unless they just slapped that bowtie on there for the picture I think that's a bad call. That gold bowtie is an eyesore. Leave it on the family cars.

I'm with you there. Since the 5th gen, there's been no blue oval visible on the mustang.
I'm not sure the new Camaro "logo" is suitable for front grill placement, though, like the new Dodge slant stripes. Think of the Buick, Cadillac, and corvette mark. They were designed as true badges. I don't think the new Camaro one was. I may be wrong, and often am. |

Everyone looks at things differently, I think that new emblem is terrible to 1980's boy racer. I would rather have the bowtie. But the blue bowtie was better than the Gold one.

These pictures really didn't show anything at all. We've already seen the side profile picture, and the front one only shows that the front end will feature a chevy logo.
That being said, I am pleased that GM is putting a lot of attention and effort into improving the aero of this car. It will help the car perform better and get better fuel economy at the same time. Last edited by mt3130; 05-11-2015 at 08:03 AM. |

5th gen refresh. Disappointing. All the improvements are great, but their lack of cojones to actually step forward with a fresh design is just flat disappointing.
