So far I think it's great. But as always I reserve final judgement on seeing the actual car in person. Sometimes cars look better in pictures than in real life and sometimes they look better in real life than in pictures.
The Camaro looks great in both. I am really hoping the Stingray will too.
I am surprised that nobody has mentioned the grill bars are Camaro like. Just with diamond mesh in the openings.

[GunnyG]

Gotta say...I like it.

Didn't see weight?

[CamaroJim56]

Gorgeous Car! I read that it will be as affordable as the 13's

Maybe I can pick up a 13 at bargain basement rates since everyone will now be waiting for the 14's.....

[TJ91]

what do you guys think of the motor in terms of modding, seems like its going to be a bitch with the DI and high CR

[menendez1293]

A very nice car. I would like to know if its a target top like the C6 though

Just read an article that even the manual transmission will have Cylinder Deactivation, better for fuel economy so I can't blame them.
