Ain’t care what people say about this car, looks sharp as hell! The stripes are rather minimal, and I’m still not a fan of rear spoilers that may or may not be functional, but this is a car I want very badly one day! With that badass 6.2L LT1 hell yeah! But I’d be happy with that new V6 too.
This is my most anticipated car for 2015-2016, well ahead of those new Turbo 911s, and it didn’t disappoint.

What say you all?

What the fuck? The tail lights look like they came off the new Malibu.
And then applied a little squish vertically.

Chubby cheeks om nom nom.
Also, that spoiler doesn’t really suit it.
Final critique: does that rear quarter panel look really off from this angle?

I see them as a callback to the segmented look of the 1st gens with C7 inspiration.
I quite like them

This thing must go fast like a rabid squirell from hell! I agree, I’m ont much a fan of spoilers myself, especially ones like these. I hope spoiler delete is an option.
I don’t see anything off about the rear quarter panel though..

That rear quarter just doesn’t seem proportional to the rest of the car.

Wow, it looks pretty bad from this angle.

They brought back the Camaro crest! That is awesome.

gross.... What did they do?! ugh, that is not a good looking car. I liked the last gen but this looks wrong..
also silver is the ugliest car color next to white..

Lexus is not pleased with the similaritys.
The whole lower half of the front looks the same...I cant be the only one who sees this.

Love the front, love the interior, and love the powertrain choices.
But the rear is just atrocious. I don’t know what the hell they were thinking. It looks like a chubby Malibu from the back.

I disagree.

I strongly disagree on both accounts.
![]() 05/29/2015 at 13:48 |

Fair enough, we each have our own opinions.
In my opinion, it gets really disproportional behind the B-pillar. The fenders flare up way too much, and then you get some small brake lights.

At least it doesn’t look like a Predator. :p
![]() 05/29/2015 at 13:50 |

I’ll agree that the rear end is chubby, but not atrocious. As for the taillights, I already made a comment to someone else, so I reiterate that here as well.

This car is driving me bananas... I WANT ONE!!!!!! The interior is something of another world, and so are the exterior visual queues. It needs to be out on dealers so I can test drive one

You and me both!
![]() 05/29/2015 at 14:06 |

Still a bunker on wheels. Too bad, because the exterior isn’t bad. And performance is (supposedly) there too.
Also, from dead on it looks WAY too much like the RC Lexus’

Meh. I’ll have to disagree there. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

There’s my other “not so interested in my ST” fellow opponaught! Are you as excited for this car as I am? :)
I love the reverse mowhawk look to the double bubble roof as well! It contrasts so well with the bulge on the hood doesn’t it!

Oh yeah! I'm planning on ordering an SS. Been dying to get a V8 RWD car in my life, and this one fits the bill perfectly!
![]() 05/29/2015 at 14:48 |

I’m too young for such an awesome car, and this is the first ‘Murican car that’s actually built for what I want: uncompromising performance!
I just want a RWD ‘Murican pony car, I’d be happiest with the SS, but I’d be happier with the V6 than my ST no doubt about that! I’m gonna wait until the 2017MY though, as I made a promise to myself to wait at least two model years from when I got my ST to see what would happen, and boy am I glad I’ve been waiting. I also want to see if Chevy will have anything up their sleeve for the 50th anniversary for the Camaro.
![]() 05/29/2015 at 15:14 |

Yeah I’ve been telling myself to wait for a 2017 model, but the platform has been around forever and the motor has been around for a couple years, so I’m not too worried. As for the ST, I’m glad I wasn’t an early buyer on that. I like the car but it frustrates me at the same time. Need to get the wiring harness recall fixed so I can run my air conditioner without the car dying on me lol.
And too young? How old are you? I'm 30, lol.

I kinda see where you’re coming from. I don’t really think that’s what they were going for, but I somewhat see it. I think they were going for a new Stingray-esque kind of style.

Its ugliness is somehow reassuring. Not a fan, but then again I loathed the last one.
![]() 05/29/2015 at 15:28 |

From the front it doesn’t look too bad. I dislike it more from the side and the rear where the ridiculously high beltline and combine with the narrower width than the last one, and the oddly shaped side quarter window, to look somewhat ungainly. Except the quarter windows actually look worse when viewed from the front of the car. It would look so much better if it were the same height but with bigger windows and a lower beltline.

I know. That’s why I told someone else it was based on the 1st gen design, with C7 flare. :p

How late is your car? Mines a ‘14 built in October 2013. I have seen what appears to be a little dip in the idle when I turn on the AC, but I checked my VIN and I’m not apart of the recall.
It’s not so much the platform and drivetrain I’m worried for. Rather, the fact that it’s changing factories and my families rule to wait after the first model year always unless it’s a special reason.
I'm also 19 haha. Insurance may or may not have my ass with an SS but I'm turning 20 in August.
![]() 05/29/2015 at 16:19 |

Mine is a late 2013 build if I remember right and was listed as part of the recall when I ran the vin. I don’t see the aftermarket getting much better for them since they’re apparently going to a different engine for the next model, but who knows. All I know is the aftermarket for the GTI destroys the ST.
The worst part about being young is the insurance rates. When I got the ST last year it was the first time I've ever had a car under $100 a month. I may have had some stupid driving moments while growing up.

I don’t see it at all.
I think you’re literally the only one.
![]() 05/29/2015 at 17:09 |

The aftermarket for turbocharged cars like these seems small in general compared to the NA market; which by negligible extension, includes all kinds of forced induction. But the ST twins have it worse. ;)
Insurance is the ONE thing that pisses me off being young and a car enthusiast. Can’t have any high horsepower big engine machine unless you’re like 21 and up; even if you’ve had no accidents and are a very responsible driver. Insurance needs reformation!! :p

The good: It finally looks like that concept from the Transformers movies.
The bad: I like the base level trim on the lower front fascia than on the sportier models. It just looks better proportioned (the ones to the left and right):
![]() 05/30/2015 at 13:38 |

I whole-heartedly agree the LT/RS facias look better than the SS in spades.

Get a sleeper SS by putting on the RS grill!
