Re: Live Unveiling of the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro
After seeing the leaked photos I am glad I can't access YouTube at the office and won't be able to enjoy the horror that is the 2014 Camaro live from NYC.

The more I see of it, the less I like it.
Where as the current design looks harmonius and cohesive, this "refresh" looks like some yahoo bolted on some aftermarket parts from J.C. Whitney.
The back end looks like a Prelude now.
The front & rear design language doesn't match the rest of the car.
So, the mllion dollar question is, will the 2010-2013 parts bolt up to the 2014?
Man, I just don't know what's going on with GM lately. The new pick-ups aren't attractive, I'm not crazy about the new Impala, the new CTS looks like a Mercedes.
They need to get Lutz back in there before all the work he did is lost.

This was overall a step in the wrong direction. Nice going GM. There's amateur concepts out there that are done better than what your professionals put out here. The front is just OK, but the rear? Gonna have to see more tomorrow.

My God! 
How could you screw up a great design that badly?
- Vent in the hood ruins the cowl lines and looks like someone just cut a hole in the hood. It doesnt even fit. the cowl. Also it looks cheap. The Zl1 pulled it off in shape and form but this looks like a Step ladder from the home depot shoved into the hood.
- The Rims are not only a bland design they are dull. Look like they belong on a V6
-Chrome bar - Why???
It's as if the designers hated the 5th gen and said well with this car this is as good as it gets... I cant really tell but kinda looks like they ironed out the muscle, added some crap, toned it down with an eye toward throwing out any 69 muscular lines the next go round... Hope Im wrong.
I actually kinda like the tail lights though I wish they were thinner.
