The new slimmer front grille is a small change that achieves dramatic results, making an already sinister sports car even more so. I know the new taillights have a retro influence, but I'm not a fan and prefer the ones on the current car. What's more, it doesn't look like Chevrolet has done anything to address the Camaro's weight problem or ridiculously bad visibility.
I'm not a fan of this update. The Camaro has now looked as it does for seven years -- since the concept debuted in 2006 -- and the first refresh we get is this? The interior is still uncomfortable, poorly laid out and made from awful-quality plastics, and not even the arrival of a track monster, the Z/28, can distract from that. With a new Ford Mustang coming next year and a new Dodge Challenger coming in two, you'd have thought Chevy would have gone farther.
The new Z/28 is a spectacle of high-performance dedication. Unfortunately, it took removing air conditioning, sound insulation and all speakers except one to save 300 pounds, which is still roughly 270 pounds heavier than a Mustang GT. I don't think we'll see a lighter-weight Camaro across all models until a platform change happens. I do like the new retro taillights, however, and was never fond of the previous chrome-trimmed quad taillights.
