Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

In a class overcome by retro-styled muscle cars, competition is stiff. Still, auto writers report that Chevy's modern take on the Camaro's rich heritage is a success.

  • "Out among traffic, the Camaro stands out. It looks smaller on the highway than it does on the show stand, and while it's no microcar, it exhibits none of the largesse or long, fat flanks of its competition. It's modern and retro all at once, and because it's both a clean and unfettered design, it should age well. More important - and this thought is echoed by almost everyone, whether they're fans of the General or not - the Camaro simply looks awesome." -- Automobile Magazine
  • "The new Camaro has a retro theme that borrows from previous models. The Camaro has a long hood and short rear deck. The front end features a honeycomb grille, and the rear has aggressively styled fenders with air intakes shaped liked gills. The back has four rounded taillamps, similar to the ones found on the Corvette." -- Cars.com
  • "Befitting a car that scored the Bumblebee role in the 'Transformers' movies, there's some cartoonish adornment, including the nonfunctioning hood scoop on the V-8 model and fake brake vents along the side. But during my week of testing, even Audi and Porsche owners gushed over the Camaro's looks - high praise for a Chevy." -- New York Times 
  • "Where the G8 looks like a rental car, the ZR1 looks like a bass boat enthusiast won the lottery and the CTS-V, even with its classy chrome mesh grille, looks like a tuner conversion, the Camaro strikes exactly the right balance between the mass appeal of its aggression and a more sophisticated retro futurism that successfully references the original while adapting wholly new forms that are completely contemporary." -- Jalopnik
