I scrolled all the way down to the see the 2018 model and already it looks dated. This is going to get interesting.

If you scroll through the pictures showing the convertible just below the paint colors, there is a good close up of the "flow-tie"....

I saw that too, thanks. With all the talk of how some do not like the refresh, I am one that thought the 4th gen was funny looking, but when the Z28 and SS came out, I knew I had to get it. Especially since I got to use it for patrol duties. I wish I still had the pics of it. Diehard Camaro fans will by it, even if it looks funny to them. I'm in wait and see mode for now.

These refresh styling changes make for interesting opinions and conversation, but basically they are small potatoes...If they were discontinuing a certain engine (like the V-8), then it would be serious...lol...

The underpinnings of the car are unchanged, basically....An A10 and a T4-1LE are added as upgrades...all good...Still a 6thGen.

Is the center bar plastic/composite & possibly wrapped or steel & painted? Was assuming the latter? I remember during the reveal they mentioned the bar was metallic & that photo at the link is the best in terms of showing the detail.

Chevrolet needs to roll out a '19 in black or mosaic. Know there is a cgi of them on their site, but in real life may help their case.

One of the things the driver/engineer talked about was that they were trying to keep the price down to be competitive with the Mustang. Although he mentioned nothing specific, based on the way he was talking I would expect to see the price go up by maybe only a few hundred dollars.
So here are some of the pictures I took of the 2019 (just to get some new angles).

Can't believe they got rid of Ashen Grey, now its either a dark silver or almost black.

I'm not falling in love with it, getting an additional 25-40hp out of the LT1 would help, I see c8 vette info circulating claiming a 500hp Lt1.

Ladies and gentlemen, Chevrolet brings you the all new 2019 SS Malibu!

Like one team designed the tail lights and another team designed the bumper, but they never talked to one another. They just go lucky that it kinda fit.

The cross bar is mosiac, that might look odd on plain black cars?

That's just the thing, not everyone is a brand loyalist. I get that looks are subjective, beauty is certainly in the eyes of the beholder. But let's be real here, this isn't an improvement in the looks department over the current MY'16-18 iteration. Chevy sold me on Camaro's performance, but I also bought the car because the looks of the SS appealed to me. If you gave me that option today between a 2019 and a new Mustang, I'd lean towards the Mustang. Even if I am sacrificing performance.
