Car & Driver Renders Sixth-Generation 2016 Chevy Camaro

The upcoming April edition of Car & Driver will have this rendering of the next (6th) generation Chevrolet Camaro. As you may be able to tell, Chevy’s CODE 130R concept seems to have served as the artistic inspiration, with the rendering maintaining the overall body and shape of the current fifth-generation model while adding more aggressive styling cues, especially in the front fascia.
Expect the next-gen Camaro to become smaller and lighter by switching to GM’s new Alpha vehicle architecture shared with the Cadillac ATS, 2014 CTS, and others. Coupe and convertible body styles will be offered, and the engine range will include of 4, 6, and 8 cylinder powerplants. The model is elected to come to market in late 2015 for the 2016 model year.

As an avid Camaro fan, this is terrible.
The Code 130R is ugly, and makes for an ugly camaro.
I think everyone with any ability to think would prefer the next gen camaro to be similar to the IROC-Z era body style.
Not 100% sure about the IROC part, although I do hope the next one’s very racy looking (in addition to cheaper), but I agree with you that this is completely terrible.
Awesome comment, you nailed it! I love all the negative comments that follow! I think the current Camaro is AWESOME and I would not freshen it much at all. A GREAT design can go 8 years, the Camaro is a great design (except for that ugly 1/4 panel flair just after the door- loose those ugly 3 debossed stripes to stop drawing your eye into the design flaw). Other than this, the Camaro is pretty cool.
looks just like the mustang thought -_-
vomit……………….
BAD. The Camaro should retain it’s distinctly non European or Asian look. This looks too much like stuff coming from Asia.
At sonic boy finally somebody with good taste I agree the code 130R is ulgy. They Should use the gen 3 or the Tru140 for the next Camaro.
now this i would own. not the oversized comical monster it is now. light weight, based of the ats, and wicked fast with a v8 under the hood with optional awd? fuck yes. the code design isnt for everyone but its a hell of a lot better than the bland fwd tru concept or the current camaro. the code concept is a global sales market car, something the camaro is not.
Code130R Yes; Camaro conversion no… These should remain 2 seperate entities… This front end does not belong on every Chevy specifically Camaro; Camaro should stand with its own identity… Nice try Car and Driver…
No way will GM spend all the money on a new platformed vehicle and keep the exact same look except for a fascia revision.
If you would have told me this is a midcycle I would have believed it.
I can’t see GM going with the split design grille on the new camaro when they’re going away from it on every other model in chevy’s lineup.
That is one nice looking camaro
Can the bow tie get any bigger? Next Chevy is just going to look like the the bow tie from above.
Nice try Car and Driver. lols at Car and Driver.
I don’t really care for this look. I agree that GM should steal some cues from the gen3./Iroc z. Maybe just put the design engineers from the stingray project over on the camaro.
This one looks awful, please don’t try to keep consistant with Mustang concept. Camaro should look more agressive. I know GM can do better the way you came out with the 5th generation.
Chevy Camaro Sonic edition.
Just because there is a new Mustang coming doesn’t mean you have to panic. From what I’ve read it will even have a 2.0 4 cylinder turbo (247hp) aimed at ROW where displacement is a dirty word.
There was also another idea on gmauthority that was based on the third gen camaro that was also pretty cool but this one looks like a plastic toy
@Adonis I think you’re referring to these here:

If you didn’t tell me, I never would have thought it was a Camaro.
