Just look around here though, several members have had multiple 6th gens already for various reasons. IIRC, hotlap had a grey one before he got his hotwheels. Fraxum has had a couple of 6th gens. I wonder how many may have upgraded in 19 or 20 if there had been a power bump instead of just cosmetic changes and the A10. I also wonder how many are leased vs purchased. For the lease customers, what incentive is it to get another one if it's for the most part exactly the same as it was 3 years ago. Hell cars used to change sheetmetal and engines almost every year back in the day.

In my case, the performance, lower weight and interior quality
leap motivated me to trade my 13 ZL1 for a 16 2SS. Complete new model with better ergonomics and performance that equaled the supercharged gen5 with a naturally aspirated engine.
I sold my grey 16 A8 in order to get a 18 manual because I lost faith in the A8. Failure GM. ...but they kept me because Camaro was the best performance-bang-per-dollar. I looked at an Audi A5, BMW M2 and Kia Stinger. The M6 Camaro was the best performance and value
A 25 hp increase and new digital gauge cluster wouldn't have moved me.
