    New York Auto Show: 2014 Chevrolet Camaro On Daytime Television

    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!

    • And they used to make this, with probably the best wheels ever.  Then it went downhill fast.
    • Will be interesting to see how mercedes uses their 800V EV system on the current auto's, hopefully they can get their mojo back on style and YES, I agree that BMW peaked in the 90's with style and has clearly lost it with the Big Nostril Grills. How anyone thinks this looks good is beyond me.
    • Like showing proof of insurance, either proof of purchase of a gun safe (Yes, I know this could be forged), proof of home insurance showing Guns and gun safe on the insurance (Yes, I know this could be forged). There is no bullet proof way of ensuring gun locks and gun safes, but we have to do our best.  I also think there is no need for Military style guns in public possession, but that is my feeling, and I know gun companies would fight this as they feel they have a right to sell everything to everyone and be damn any regulations about responsibility. Gotta start somewhere for better gun safety.
    • My country is not the one that is threatening ICE agents at the Superbowl just because there will be  a gay Puerto Rican performing t the half time show. Need I show you the peaceful tactics of ICE agents?   Need I spell out the homophobic so called Christian reasons of why said performer is not wanted at the Superbowl half time show? Need I also spell out the love that one sector of Americans have for another? All the things that I have pointed out that you call insufferable... PS: Charlie Kirk spewed ALL that kind hatred in his podcasts and University campus debates. The Bad Bunny hatred at the half time show hatred...   Charlie Kirk advocated for gun violence too and ironically died in the very same way he condoned...  And the shooter of Charlie Kirk at that school was another far right phoquetard.   So phoque you @ccap41  for it all!!!  Are you trying to shame me for what your shytty country has become?  You cant see your own hypocrisy of questioning MY thoughts on how your phoquing shytty country is soooooo phoquing shytty? Dude...shame on you and your fellow country men.  YOU and YOUR countrymen are insufferable...
