I think they are looking to keep a similar design because this one has been selling well. I think they just might tweak it a bit (possibly look like the pics I posted). They aren't supposed to do a total redesign like Mustang will be. Should be interesting either way.

I wonder what the 7th gen Camaro will look like....

Obzen · 08-20-2012, 01:33 AM

I'll be ready in about 2016. Its not a damn PC, i'd like to actually enjoy the thing rather than it already be outdated.

Who cares about exclusivity. Enjoy the Camaro, give it time before the next gen.

According to another website dedicated to all things GM and "inside information" - you will get your 5 years.

I personally am looking forward to the 6th gen. Weight reduction, better engines, should be a fun time.

New to the roads? The concept, which was nearly identical to production, debuted in 2006...the design is nearly 7 years old already. I still love the way it looks, but it's not getting any newer. I'm curious to see what the 6th generation brings. I may make a decision between upgrading to a later 5th gen or getting an early 6th gen.

also, there is no hint of a next gen design anywhere. both the camaro and corvette designs have always shown up as concepts years ahead of time in the past.

Not always. The C7 Vette is still somewhat of a mystery, even though it will be out in about a year. The next Mustang (due in 2014) will be much different than the current one, and the next Camaro probably will be as well.

I was under the impression that it was pretty well known there aren't going to be any drastic changes to the exterior of the 'Vette.

The interior is getting a complete rehaul though, which was desperately needed.

I also feel the same way, along with CamaroKevin, and my 2011 Camaro doesn't even have 3,000 miles on it yet (close, but not yet).

No matter what the 6th Generation Camaro looks like, it won't make me dislike my 5th Generation at all...they're STILL awesome cars.

Every once in a while I thought to myself that if they really wanted the 5th Gen to be inspired by the 1st Gen, they should have made the 5th Gen last only the three years of 2010, 2011, & 2012 (just like the 1st went 3 years).

But then, seeing as how these Camaro's are as fabulous as we all feel about them, I want them to last longer along the lines of "Don't Mess With A Good Thing" (or in this case...Don't End It Too Soon).

I also agree with some people who think that the 5th Gen will be a tough act to follow, and the 6th Gen might be a disaster just based on how good it would have to be to top how we feel about the 5th.

Time will tell.

The Gen5 has another 2 model years left. We'll probably see some minor facelifts next year because it will be the 5th year for the the Gen5. We'll probably also see a Z/28 next year. I was originally going to trade up my 2LT to Gen5 Z/28. Now my thinking is to keep my Gen5 forever and buy a 50th anniversary Gen6 Z/28. It'll be awesome to have both generations.

the concept doesn't mean anything. its all about road time. personally the camaro does not feel like a 7 year old car to me.

Somewhat of a mystery? You don't visit Jalopnik do you?

One of GM's suppliers accidentally posted a video of their mold and die technology and it happened to be of the C7 Corvette front and rear bumpers. They matched Jalopnik's renderings perfectly.

I'm pretty much with AdamEL on this one... however, I do recall a few years ago, thinking that the IROC was the best looking car ever made, and I was unable to fathom any improvement over that. Alas, eventually the 5th gen came along and opened my eyes to a new beauty. So, while it doesn't seem likely, I am open to the notion that they COULD make something better.

Let's see
MY 2010 - First year
MY 2011 - Second year
MY 2012 - Third year
MY 2013 - Fourth year (current model)
MY 2014 - Fifth year

You sure its not GMs car and youre just leasing it? Either that or every yr youre throwing away money form trade in to get the current one. Thats a lot a dough you throwing away to keep up with the Jones.'
