The front nose is not growing on me, but that can change, but I don't like it now, even the one piece rear tail lights I don't like, but GM made the 2 piece rear round tail lights for 4 years w/the split or w/full bumper (1970-1973-my favorite) then went to the one piece from 74 to 81 then the 3rd gen., is this a coincidence or just a change? Where's the Z-28????

i'm sure it has a diverter designed to let the water/dust/dirt to get pushed out of the way of the engine, like the zl1, and most all heat extractors...

Nothing special, nothing for the interior. Rear light just UGLY. God damn it, I'm shifting for corvette soon as it arrives here, no question.

yes, it was/is very hard to see a sunroof on the red car, until you look at the interior shot. So many may not have known it had a sunroof when they make that assessment.

You're the first person I've seen yet that got this right. The value of all of our cars goes down everyday no matter what new model comes out.

Agree 100%. As much as I tried to like it, it's just weak. Compared to the the ZL-1 front fascia (which was an A+ the second I saw it) this refresh version is an F.

The good news is I genuinely like my car better and can wait until 2016/17 for 6th gen.

Let's really put this into perspective, everyone. If you had one Camaro from all 38 production years in front of you - I can without a doubt say that there'd be some years that we wouldn't like, some models that don't fit our taste, and some that we just think are ugly... but it's a Camaro, and thus it's part of the heritage. I regularly see on here people who think the 4th generation Camaro is ugly - while I might agree on the 98-2002 portion, I personally think the 93-97 era Camaro was one of the best looking Camaros designed. Likewise, a bunch of folks on here appear to like the 3rd generation Camaro and I think it's the red headed step child of the Camaro design. But it all wraps up to be the heritage of the car we've all grown to love - the Camaro. Not all of us will like every single Camaro from the 38 production years.

So if we don't like the 2014 MCE Camaro - so be it. There will be others that do like it and will want to buy it. And if it means sales to NEW customers who previously hadn't considered a Camaro then it's a win for all of us because it's one new owner to show what owning a Camaro is all about.

[/soapbox]
Very well put.
