Oh, and the SS looks sort of Japanese from the front now. Seriously, what the hell, GM???

Actually, looking at some pics of the SS it looks like 'glowtie'

Have the designers gone nuts or just ran out of ideas. I'm sure this will improve sales

redcoats1976 · 04-09-2018, 05:21 PM

the base models/RS look better than the SS.that black bar across the front kills it for me.

RealG · 04-09-2018, 05:24 PM

I think the refresh looks great, Really like the hood and the fact that they flatten the front end out instead of making it more pointy. I was really worried about that. It does look a little like the new Honda Accord in the front which is cool with me because I think it looks great. The taillights we’re gonna need to see those at some different angles and on some different models but so far I’m disappointed with the tail lights. Hopefully some great new colors

Realist · 04-09-2018, 05:27 PM

The front and rear styling were always the weak links to the 6th Gen and will continue to be with this refresh IMO. My next Camaro will likely be a ZL1 and while not a huge improvement I prefer the resigned rear. Like the new SS hood but not really liking the flow tie in the bumper. Need to see a black SS in person to make final judgment. It may grow on me but it shouldn’t have to grow on me. Certainly won’t be expecting any big increase in sales with these changes. If they would just copy Dodge colors I think they could sell a few more.

I don't know what GM is thinking. I hate to say it but GM should have hired a Ford designer and fired the GM designer because they went from a good looking and aggressive look to something that looks like it was already in a accident and half the grill is missing.

I am glad they put the 10 speed in but it won't matter if you can't sell the car.

Sorry GM but this really wasn't worth the camo because it wasn't a surprise more of a let down.

It's never to late to call it a April fool joke!

GM got hammered when the 2004 GTO came out for its conservative style. The debacle was so bad they tried to quick fix the next year with the '05 model having optional a sport package with hood scoops, grille and dual exit exhaust.

Its a meh...for me, seems most of us are feeding off the negativity its be given. It's only been day one, lets give it a few more days for it to sink in. If not 24-36months away from 7th ( hopefully )

Not seeing what you guys are seeing. Looks the same to me except more black plastic vs. Silver. Blah

I should have waited...this looks gorgeous

Eh? The materials are same as before. UI = user interface, aka the graphics on the touchscreen.

Yup. And they switched from the LS1 to the LS2. That's why I waited a year.

The convertible must be the new Satin Steel Gray Metallic because I don't see silver on that color chart. Hoping the Infotainment software is backward compatible so I can get it on my 2017. First impression is I'm glad I got a '17. The A10 is a nice upgrade.
