I did not notice a rear spoiler at all so im not sure if this one just didnt have it or I missed it.
Sounds like you saw the Track Pack variant. Black wheels and a spoiler delete are the main appearance changes.

I disagree. The 10-13 Camaros are a classic design but the 14-15 refresh is much more aggressive looking. The tail lights took a while to grow on me but I like the refresh more than the 10-13 now.

Front looks good on the 14's for sure...what kills the rear on the 14's is the cheap ass looking diffuser..tail lights are fine.

2014 Mustang is the best looking mustang since the 69 fastback imo....look at the new mustang being built. Its in the flatrock plant, same plant where fusions are built. The fusion behind it has almst identical lights and front end, just diff cues here and there. Terrible mistake by Ford, but they will sell a ton of these overseas anyhow. Ford is targetting an entire new audience this time.

The latest S197 is a hard act to follow.

Mustang has been built at Flat rock since 05...

I see the similarities, but it still screams mustang to me. I guess we will have to wait and see how sales/reviews/etc go. I think Ford hit a homerun

The other day I saw a Fusion NASCAR on a billboard, and from a distance I thought it was a Mustang. That should never, never, ever be a problem.

I get that they want to make it a global car, but that doesn't mean they had to make it indistinguishable from every other Ford in the lineup. Perhaps Roush will have a fix for it. That's one of the best things about owning a Mustang; if you don't like something there are thousands of aftermarket parts.

True. Im sure Ford refreshes this mistake next year, sales however will determine that.

The 2014 Camaro is a big improvement in the rear. The bar lights look better to me, and the reverse lights are no longer stupidly by themselves in the middle of the back.

The headlights are where they screwed up. I don't know why GM chose to stick with the large round halos when they cut the grille's size in half. The lights look like parentheses now. They should have gone with a rectangle shape to match the headlight cover.

It's pointless to debate the subject everyone feels differently

I like the light bars at night. They look weird in the day time. Also I like the new aggressive front bumpers but the headlights are not my style. Cool feature it turns off with turn signal but kind of pointless imo. Cool though

Bringing the diffuser so high up the rear fascia looks odd but it's grown on me as well.
