i know that but even the current ZL1 has a third break light in the car its just covered up by a piece of plastic... so that tells me every car in the lineup will have the third break light on the wing!!!

GM shouldn't have messed with perfection. There's a reason why this car was on top of the charts for the past three years. The changes are not dramatic, but hey are significant enough for most of us to be turned away. I would never trade in my Camaro for this.

This really is a wretched design and whoever thinks otherwise, let me know - I know a some great ophthalmologists! Whose with me?!

FYI: I posted this on another thread similar to this, but put it here also because I really feel strongly about it
..you're obviously not alone, but is it better looking than what's currently on the market? Only time will tell. I think 2014 v6 models will sell well, for 1rst time buyers...
..GM should've stuck w/ just adding new colors for 2014..

Heck, your new 2013 may now be worth more than you paid for it.

Better get the "good ones" now before they are gone.

Yeah. I mean I'm sure it will sell, it just doesn't have the clean look of a 10-13. So glad I got this car when I did.

I'm really liking it. Looks like plenty of potential buyers for my 2010!

We'll see what everyone says after it is released. The current design will become dated before too long... It's going to happen!

I voted like. I like the hood air extractor. It's supposedly functional. Much better than a useless slot on the top of the fascia. Pre '14 V6es look better and cleaner from the front than SSes to me. The whole look of the new front I like btu I need need to see it in person or high res.

The same with the rear spoiler.

The rear taillights might be a step backwards. That fuzzy photo might not do them justice or maybe they are ugly.

I suppose I am more interested in interior improvements, better seats for example, or functional or performance improvements. The '14 even if you do not like it, is immediately recognizable as a 5th Gen Camaro.

Sure wish they would have raised the roof, but that would be too much to expect for a refresh.
