No matter how many pics you post, it still ain't gonna change the fact that that is one ugly ass car. I mean, straight up. I'd buy a Mustang over this as sad as that it to say. Or a Charger or Challenger.

I kind of like the front end. It's different. Need to see it in person but it's growing on me. The taillights I like less - reminds of the old 90s clear lens fad. But again, need to see it in person.

The front had grown on me but I do not like that the rear diffuser is no longer piano black and more of a textured black plastic....

I don't think the 6th Gen SS or LTs needed a front end re-fresh. If they would have just updated the mylink, the rear camera mirror and taillights it would have been a smash hit! The front is a total flop. Hell Dodge is STILL MILKING THE LX PLATFORM from 2007, and Challenger sales have increased over the years. The front Bumper on the new SS Camaros looks like a Honda Accord.

Is it too late for GM to keep the current front clip?

I agreed at 1st but when I finally saw it in person spent a good few hours looking it over it has grown on me I really like it.

But it's a must see in person to see it better.

While I agree we did not need a re-fresh just a refreshed pricing point.

But we have it we have to live with it like it or not. I do hope GM sells a ton of them.

I still don't get people saying it is "growing on" them. I can't see how anything like this would grow on you. If you like it, great. If you don't like it, unfortunate.

If you really liked it, I think you would like it as soon as you saw it. It shouldn't need to grow on you.

I honestly think those saying it is "growing" on them are just people who really, really *want* to like, and have just come to accept it or have gotten used to it. I guess "growing on you" can just mean you have gotten used to its ugliness (if you are one who thought it was ugly when you initially saw it).

Plenty of things look VERY different in the real world than in photos.

I have loved things in photo's and then not liked them in person, and vice versa.

It is very Naive of you to think that people can't and don't change opinions.

I think it is very rare that something looks horrible in pictures and then looks great in person. Did any of the previous Camaros look horrible in pictures and then great in person? Is there some special property to this car's design that makes pictures not capture its greatness? Every car I see that I thought looked bad in pictures has looked bad in real life. Some cars may surprise me in terms of their size in pictures versus in person, but the look is still the same.

Suggesting that the issue is simply that it is a picture seems naive. I think that is just a defense mechanism for those who *want* to like it but don't. It allows them to hold out hope and maybe allows time for it to "grow on them."

Again, some people genuinely like this design and that is great. I just don't get those who had an initial very negative reaction and then decide is looks good. It is what it is.

Everybody hated the 5th Gen Refresh in pictures and ended up loving it.

When the first pictures of the 6th Gen came out everybody hated it, and now they love it.

Opinions do change, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse.

The world is not as black and white as you think it is.

There’s also that tricky concept of completely judging a 3 dimensional vehicle from a 2 dimensional photograph.
