    New York Auto Show: 2014 Chevrolet Camaro On Daytime Television

    By William Maley

    March 26, 2013

    Daytime television; a place where soap operas, talk shows, game shows, and the mid-day news live. Nothing really happens... Except for today.

    On today's episode of Live With Kelly and Michael, the new 2014 Chevrolet Camaro made a surprise visit. The new Camaro comes with a narrower grille and headlights, and a widened front valance opening. The hood gains a center row of vents. The biggest change deals with the rear end as Chevrolet replaced the quad-square taillights for two rectangular lamps.

    The show also revealed that no big changes are happening the Camaro's trim levels. So the 2014 models will still be the LS, LT, SS, and ZL1.

    We'll have more details on the 2014 Camaro tomorrow.

    Nose is OK, I like the vented Hood and I do like the updated Rear on this, but for me the surprising steal of the 4 cars they showed was the Stingray. It looks way better than what I have seen in pictures. :P

    The updates are fine as it does what it is intended to do. I suspect this is a sign the 6 gen will be less retro but would still not be mistaken for a Camaro with them moving away from some retro cues.

    The hood as long as it is functional is fine I just wished it was wider but they may have has limitations. If it is fake lose it. Hood vents as like I have on my Pontiac work in cooling and stability. They also make a hell of a bug deflector if you have never driven a car with one..

    As for the interior people just need to stop. With a new car coming in 2 years you are not going to get a whole new interior. It is what it is and it will change in the new Alpha. You are lucky to get this mild refresh to be honest with sales as they are old GM would have just hung on for 2 more years to the old one.

    I'm not a huge fan of the new front fascia, nor the taillights. I understand that designers are wanting to pursue new themes and advance the old ones, but that has to be a gradual thing, and you walk a fine line when you try to start doing that with an exsisting model. This MCE doesn't come across as cohesive nor very clean to me. It seems a little rushed, a little messy.

    As far as the hood goes, it would have been more interesting if they had done a retro modern spin on past Camaro SS hoods, like the '67-69 or '80s Z-28 hood. The front looks goofy and angry.

    Just watched the live reveal. The car looked better than any of the previous leaked images/video. I no longer think that the rear update looks bad. Also, Z/28!

    • They didn't even show a vehicle though, just said that in 2 years we'll have a pickup around $30,000.  Which probably means $30,990 plus a $1995 destination charge and you are at $33k before any options which will quickly push it to $40k.  They already have the Maverick in this same space. I don't see this as a "Model T" moment.  It would have to be $5k cheaper than the Maverick to get people to really start buying EV's en masse.  And where do they go with this, the Chinese already make midsize EV pickups for $25,000, so you can't see it overseas because the Chinese will win on price.   The Model T had years where it sold over a million units.  If Ford wants their new age Model T, then the vehicle has to be so good at such a price that you can't pass it up for a Rav4 or CRV.  This will be like the Equinox EV that was going to be $30k, but ended up more like $35k base and $40k for most of the ones at dealers and when the tax credit goes away sales will dry up.
    • Yup. The Canadian Premiers and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (just before his resignation and our elections) decided to retaliate and target Red states because of tariffs and most importantly, the 51st state rhetoric. So...whiskey production and headquarters are mostly at Red States.  So off came the American booze from our Province owned and run liquor stores.   Jack Daniels CEO laughed at that as he said Ontario and Canadian liquor sales is but a mere 1 or 2 percent of Jack Daniels sales. Then he realized that his product is OFF the phoquing shelves and then he complained foul game play... But its definitely fine when his President declares annexation towards Canada...   Its OK for tariffs...  Maybe Jack Daniels might not be suffering too much, but the smaller Kentucky distilleries are in danger. Some are filing for bankruptcy. 9 billion dollar industry and one man has destroyed it.   Not too forget the tourism industry.   New York, Maine, Florida, Nevada and even California is feeling the pinch when Canadians decided to give Americans the middle finger.   Red States or even Blue...  When Trump STILL threatens annexation and most Americans are oblivious of that fact, never you mind empathy towards us Canadians...the middle finger and avoidance of anything American is a proper response from us Canadians. What is even sadder, American rights and freedoms are being stripped and yet not push back from American citizens.  THAT is just UNACCEPTABLE.   Fight for your rights people. Soon you wont have any.        Big Three CEOs and accountants keep begging Trump to ditch the tariffs. He wont ditch them.  He wants to control the Canadian steel and aluminium industry.  He cant and wont be able to.  For many reasons.  But he will destroy the American automotive industry waaaaaay before the US gets a smidgen of Canada's industry which will be a moot point at that juncture.  And Im afraid the damage is already done world wide.  Who in the phoque will buy GM, Ford or even Tesla EVs when the WORLD is hatin' on the US???!!! When the Chinese EV industry is already engulfing the planet with really affordable EVs...
    • @oldshurst442 You are so right about the auto industry. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/whitmer-told-trump-in-private-that-michigan-auto-jobs-depend-on-a-tariff-change-of-course/ar-AA1Kd8Y9?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=U531&cvid=5ad67b9cbe604a80b8b7a0853d63f085&ei=75 Since Trump returned to the White House, Michigan has lost 7,500 manufacturing jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In this story, you have this, but it is only a matter of time: Detroit Axle, a family-run auto parts distributor, has been one of the more vocal companies in Michigan about the impact of the tariffs. The company initially announced it might have to shut down a warehouse and lay off more than 100 workers, but later said it would be able to keep the facility open, at least for now. The fact is Idiot47 seems to think he can issue a statement and the next day all those jobs will appear and all work just fine. Fact is even with saying manufacturing must be done here, it will take years to build the factories, line up supplies and start building the products. Nothing can just happen overnight, but Idiot47 does not understand that.
    • Guess in this case my news feed was right as I have not read the story yet, but saw about the proclamation to remove all U.S. booze and return it. Taking away a market from the U.S. companies, one would hope would get these idiot CEOs to wake up and stop supporting Idiot47.
    • Sorry to hear that. 58 is young.  Too young to pass away.
