    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!

    • Very Cool, Seems Kia has released a teaser of their press release for tomorrow. 10am EST or 7am PST will be an exciting time.  Kia Global Media Center : Kia America Returns to the New York International Auto Show
    • Today's news covers that #47 has signed off on the GOP plan to push his 2017 Billionaire tax cuts through by bringing back the 40% tax bracket on Singled making over $650,000 or couples making over $750,000 taxing the millionaires to give the Billionaires a continued tax break. The reason for bringing this up is that a large number of Millionaires are owners of dealerships and already some are saying they could see closing dealerships, example Chrysler dealerships. On top of this is a number of recent videos talking about used autos not selling at auction and dealerships seeing a big decline in used auto sales. Much of this brought on by very crazy low lease rates on EVs, hybrids with ICE being the most expensive.  Now you have Tariffs, and the auto industry is a total mess. As such, I agree with folks here that we will see some name brands close, this tariff war is going to force companies to look and cut brands that are not profitable.
    • There is over abundance for sure, especially when China has 100 EV car makers and eventually they will spread out past China.   Not only will the tariffs kill off some weak brands, but it is going to crush a lot of suppliers once the supply chains get all destroyed.  Not to mention dealerships that close up and job losses there.
    • The tariffs definitely put Stellantis in a bit of a pickle.
    • Agree that this whole Tariff mess will take out those that are already on deaths door. This I suspect could clean out a few of the early name plates. Sad that so many billions was wasted by an idiot CEO trying to rebuild a dead industry in Italy with trying to bring back poorly built name plates. Alfa Romeo, Maserati should have never been invested in. But that can now be said for more American name plates too. Time to let Chrysler die with dignity. In my humble opinion Buick other than China should just be put into the history books. GM = Entry level Chevrolet - Mid level GMC and luxury Cadillac. We still have an overabundance on name plates globally.
