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...

I wouldn't say they've tanked. One thing hurting Camaro is that GM just hasn't put any good incentives on these cars in like 2 years. Look how much more expensive the 6th gen is over a 5th gen from 8 years ago. It just costs a lot more to get into a Camaro now than it did with the 5th gen. The Challenger is on a platform that dates back to the Model A Ford so they can afford to throw big incentives at that car. That's a big reason that its sales have increased.
