The 2016 will be nice, and not like the previous years exactly. but still not a big enough change in my opinion. Its more like the c5-c6 corvette changeover. some sharper lines and modified styling but not as big a change as the c4-c5 changeover.

I can't find it right now but there was an article about this recently. The working premise is that if you have a model that is successful, in both sales and image, it is better to evolve the styling and shape so as to keep the same recognition level as the previous itteration.
The example in the article was that of the 911. If you look at an original and a new one the difference is pretty dramatic in size and shape while still beign basically recognizable. Lining up the generations you can exactly follow how the shape evolved and easily recognize each one as a 911.
The Camaro is a very success model in the segment so it makes sense to follow a similar redesign/evolution model. As long as there are enough physical differences to tell them apart and enough performance/value/comfort updates to make it worthwhile people will, in theory, continue to desire the next one each time it coems along.
