2014 Chevy Camaro Review/Ride Report
http://www.carrentingreviews.com/201...aro-1lt-coupe/
SSAR
17/28
PROS:
- Optional sunroof mitigates claustrophobia
- Muscle car fun
CONS:
- Honda Prelude-like taillights
- Limited headroom
- Some cheap plastic interior materials remain
- Coupe induced claustrophobia
CONCLUSION: Controversial exterior styling for 2014. Still drives the same.

Ditto. I think they could've kept the Camaro as it was and still provided sufficient differentiation from the Corvette.

From what I've read, there were no interior changes (except the color heads up display). Unfortunately, the interior is what needed the update, not minimal styling on the front/back ends.
What do y'all think of this new rear-view mirror? I had it in the 2013 and HATED it. I really disliked that there were red/blue/white lights in it that are rather bright (at night) and there's no way to turn them off. After ~3 hours of late-night driving (after a full day of flying, and arriving without luggage), I was ready to cut the cable to the RV mirror to turn it off.

The frameless rearview mirror doesn't bother me so much as the fact that the camaro needs a rearview camera because the back end is so big.

Drove one of these a few weeks ago. Not sure if it was 2015 or 2014, but if you have any luggage it's garbage. In order for the top to go down you have to adjust a bizarre shade in the trunk, severely cutting the trunk's capacity. Didn't realize this when I was at the rental location.
I currently have a 2015 or 2016 Mustang, which is much better in almost every aspect (especially when it comes to the trunk).
