I too am interested in the performance upgrades. As for the styling, it looks like an update. It's a nice looking car but I won't be trading mine in any time soon. I guess with all the hype GM has been putting out on the car I was expecting a more revolutionary design. Hopefully the changes in performance and handling are what's revolutionary in the 6th gen.

The story on CNBC was definitely planned by GM. But having real shots of the car simply doesn't match up with having a big reveal tomorrow. I think they chose to use some renders to tease the story with test drive (which would not have had camo if they really intended to do the reveal)......
The pictures are real, not renders. You can clearly see the lighting equipment in the reflections of the front and rear bumpers. I agree with some other posters here, the photos were most likely intended for press coverage following the belle isle reveal. Somehow they were prematurely included with the show.

Can't wait to see photos from members here of the actual reveal. Still, from what's been shown so far, I would buy.

have you not seen the 5th gen Camaro refresh? Just in case you haven't:



so maybe the Toyota looks like the Camaro?

I see a couple of people in here seem to think looks are superfluous and only performance counts. If I only cared about performance, I wouldn't have started with a 4,000lb + car. I can upgrade several different little imports to surpass a ZL1, and for less money. The Gen5 Camaro was the return of iconic "muscle car" style, with great factory performance to boot. It appears Gen6 has departed from the muscle car styling philosophy. Some of you like it, and that's cool, glad you are happy. Some of us think it looks terrible, and that's cool too, we still have the Gen5. As long as Chevy doesn't mess up the 2017 Corvette, I'll still be a customer.

Oh and I see a new meme in the making:

"That looks hideous!"
"Well she's a Sixth Gen, so..."

Then again, this style could be found on the new Lexus' which was redesigned before there refresh (I think...I might be wrong). You may be right, in that it's a Chicken/Egg debate. I personally did not like the refresh, which is (partially) why I bought a 2012 in November of 2013.

It's like they took what they were doing with the refresh, and did it MORE so with the 6th Gen...so it's not my taste.

Still, when you see may of those specific style cues on Lexus/Toyota, it makes the Camaro feel a bit less special.

EDIT: 2013 Lexus IS

Not exactly a clone for the 6th Gen Camaro, but it seems to be the forbearer of this style.

This would be awesome if GM showed these images and are we're not the final design and the car tomorrow is a little different than the images shown? That would be awesome! But prob not. I'm betting the pics in person will look awesome and looking forward to them.

Just noticed that. I'm withholding judgement until tomorrow for official reveal and HD photos and (hopefully) video. These pictures would make a Koenigsegg Agera R (or whatever vehicle you think looks great, cuz not everyone has the same taste) look meh. Still not sure if these are renders or actual cars either but guess we will see tmr.

Didn't the 4th gen outperform the Mustang, but Ford's better styling led to more sales and the Camaro's death? That's why I'm worried. Ford got lazy with no competition and was our only option.

so the current assumption is 3 trim levels, why were they only showing two cars, we know theyre at different trim levels, just based on spiler setup.

the wing shown on the "SS" is different than th 3 pillar we saw, but the wheels match, could they be hiding the "1LE" for tomorrows big reveal? 16 hours to go

The new Lexus' seem to have 1 large grill, with nothing separating the top from the bottom. Unless we are talking about 2 different lexus'.

I don't know, when I see the original 5th gen, it only seems evolutionary to do what they did. Had they changed the front end completely, there may have been a lot more people saying it's changed too much, or that it doesn't look like a Camaro anymore.

But to each his/her own.

probably more than 24 hours to go, as I think they will do the reveal later in the evening.
