[Number 3]

Don't look for new sheet metal in an MCE. It would be a first, particularly for a lower volume car.

GM's model has been front and rear fascia, tail lamps, headlamps and IP Center Stack.

We'll have to wait and see if that model holds true.

hard to explain with my limited english..

my old car was a vw corrado, and under the hood it looks like this,
when you open the Hood from inside the car, the hood opens a little and you can unlock the latch with the finger

GM probably chose not to do the hood that way because of the additional weight it would add to the hood. The current setup I beleive that is at the front of the hood is a lightweight material trim.

Too bad the zl1 will keep the same front

I doubt a single ZL1 owner agrees with that statement.

Now a few adjustments to the rear end, we can agree to that.

If the tail lights are changed they better offer them in black as an option like they do now, otherwise thats a deal breaker for me..

Thanks for the link. Chevy really wants us to not know anything about the new frontend. You can't tell anything from it

I was under the impression it was already stated the ZL1 would not get a front fascia refresh as it just got its new styling in 2016-2017 also add the fact that the front end is not under camo in spy shots. What is, is the rear panel. So we may see something there... so that would be a mid-cycle refresh considering the subtle changes to the rear that are currently under camo to conform with the rest of the lineup.

The 5th gen ZL1 kept its original front fascia. Was the 14 update on a refresh?

then maybe they change only the headlights, on this pic it looks like the turn signal is different
