Its almost as if Chevy tried to hard to stand out in the crowd when they had already succeeded on the 5th and 6th gen. I saw more changes in the 2019 model update compared to the new revamped look of the the 5TH Gen to the 6th Gen. I wish they increase the Hp/torque more on the turbo model. Atleast GM kept their V6 in the Camaro's unlike Ford dropping theirs altogether in their mustangs and focusing more on 4 banger/v8. I Like what the turbo mustangs did. Touched up on front end and focused more on performance increase on their turbo when the 1LE Turbo camaro just gets a face lift. No increase in specs. Just Same. But they keep focusing on cosmetic touches and improvements. Come on GM. Get with the Program. If it aint Broke, then dont fix it.
It has been broke for 3 yrs... Sales never saw a pick up when the gen6 came out and now have pretty much tanked compared to competition. Btw Mustang seems in the same sinking boat after the latest refresh. GM had to do something different as doing more of the same never leads to better results. So they changed the overall look of the car completely. Styling is subjective and only sales numbers will prove if their refresh choices were correct or not. Personally i see a lot of retro split bumper cues on the SS grille and dont mind it at all. But it is a very different look thats for sure.

NB theyve raised the height of the front splitter. A lot.
So this also contributes to a very different look. Less aggressive imo but easier on the curbs. Thats proly why they went with an extractor hood to increase front downforce and why they added Vette like rubber dams below the splitter...
