NY Auto Show Preview: New Camaro revealed on talk show ahead of New York debut

That’s right. Live! with Kelly and Michael got the first glimpse, albeit a short one, at the new Camaro. Thankfully the fellows at Camaro5 were able to grab some screen shots.

As you can see from the images that come some 24 hours before the official unveiling, the new Camaro’s looks are a bit softer and the new front end a bit smaller, looking as if it’d been squished. We do rather like the micro air intake on the hood, which will help diffuse heat.

Out back, the new taillights are one-piece and are rather uninspired. We understand the move, though. Chevy had to do something as it claims this is the most significant update in this, the fifth generation. In fact, this is the first refresh to the new Camaro since its reintroduction in 2009.

As for the limited look at the interior, we can see it hasn’t been updated much. The V8 SS model that Kelly and Michael got to see has SS headrest badges and a similar dash as the 2013. We’re hoping it’d mimic the 2014 interior of the new Corvette Stingray. We might have to wait for the sixth generation to see that big of an interior jump in the Camaro.

Look for some updated engines – we’re guessing much of the same but with direct injection making for more power and better fuel economy.

We’ll know more tomorrow so be sure to check back then.

In the meantime, what do you think of the new looks? Are they a hit or a miss? Tell us below.

Rivian R2 vs R1S: How will Rivian’s cheaper SUV compare?
The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N drifting.

We’re finally getting to the fun part of automakers’ methodical quest to replicate their lineups with electric cars.

Performance versions of ordinary cars have been a staple of the auto industry for decades. But while we’ve already seen some variants of EVs boasting more power and more impressive stats — think Tesla Model S Plaid or Lucid Air Sapphire — the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is the first to truly apply that format to an EV.
