2019 Refresh

Blackdevil77 · 04-09-2018, 02:36 PM

I just saw a whole bunch of pics of the 2019 refresh, and I honestly hate it. And I'm usually cool with anything, this is honestly the first time I really dislike a refresh/new design. Please tell me this refresh doesn't effect the 2019 ZL1's, does it? At least not the front end. The ZL1 is gorgeous as is, IMO.

I read somewhere that the ZL1 will retain its 2018 look

Front doesn't change, only the rear

ZL1 retains its airflow-optimized front-end styling

Thank the lord!

I like the new rear style, and the original ZL1 front end was perfect - so I'm happy with the refresh from a ZL1 standpoint!

Blackdevil77 · 04-09-2018, 03:48 PM

The rear is fine, it's the new front fascia I can't stand. So it works out for the ZL1

I'm still up in the air on the new tail lights. They're not bad, but I'll have to see them in person to know if I like them or not.

I will also have to see the new SS front to know if I like it or not. Once again, it doesn't look bad to me, but it doesn't look like an improvement. I liked the refresh on the 5th gens and actually felt like they should've applied it to the front of the ZL1, but I'm glad they didn't change the 6th gen. I think they would've messed it up. It would be hard to make it look any better than it already does.

They remind me of the 5th gen taillights, which I wasn’t a fan of.

I like the 1LE taillights, but then got these sequential tails. They aren’t for everyone, but they have grown on me!

Looks like Aventador tail lights

I don't mind the tail lights, they look like they can be nice in person. But I don't have much confidence in the new front end...

Don't like the front end or tails. Do like that they upgraded the PDR and rear view cameras along with new infotainment and rear view mirror video.

Lowflight · 04-09-2018, 06:52 PM

Just like the 2017 GTR...they ruined it. And, like the DBA GTR (2012-2016) our 17-18 will probably hold value better IMHO

At least the ZL1 doesn't get that awful front end!

They always have a knack to screw up a refresh on the Camaro, Geez

URBAN LEGEND · 04-09-2018, 08:39 PM

Every time there is a refresh or new Camaro the same comments come out. Then once a ZL1 or Z/28 gets released it’s the model to have, I don’t miss my old car, etc. Same cycle.
