The PP2 is interesting and cough my eye but price per performance and bang for buck the camaro is still the best option, i think anyway. ELDS vs torsen, camaro is probably lighter.

Need for Green isnt a late add. Just it isn’t being produced until a bit later (July/August). You could order the color as soon as 2019 Mustang orders opened. I know because I was REAL close to putting in an order.

PP2 is a half hearted attempt at a 1LE version of the mustang. It isn't meant to be a track version. No extra cooling, no eLSD, basically a PP1 with stickier and wider tires. Bang for the buck is much less than the Camaro.

Forget the haters, the SS in Riverside looks great. I'm happy with my 18 Camaro but I can totally see people buying the 19 one
Too bad we have absolutely no information if the 19 will come the europe

The new blue is excellent, however it doesn't change how I feel about the new design. Also, what does chevrolet have against green. Really.

And why ditch the yellow? It was the color that made this car popular again.
Go home designers, you’re drunk.

Also using the TF5 Camaro styling but not giving people the right color seems odd.

Are those the spider stripes or stinger stripes?
The stripes kinda draw the eye away from the nasty grille.

Center Stripes = Stinger Stripes
Rally Stripes = Spider Stripes

So those *should* be spider stripes, but I don't see why the name change, there aren't any web-ish designs to it.

I was one who thought the Gen 6 looked to close to 5th Gen at first till i started seeing them in person and then seeing then side by side when you can see a huge difference .
Good looking.... compared to what? The '16-'18 models? The '14-'15 models? The catfish mouth '98-'02 models? Nope.

Except for the A10 and the better looking refresh on the non V8 models, the front grill/bumper on the SS is pretty nasty. And to think, at least 75% of it could be improved upon by just merely placing the front bowtie back into the grill where it belongs

This is probably the worst front bumper/grill update in the history of the Camaro, even worse than the 5-mph aluminum bumpers on the '74-'77 models.

The Camaro SS deserved better.

Just quoting as an example of the extreme hate for the 2019 model by some people so we can look back and see if the buying public agrees with you or the people who like it. Time will tell. Looks are subjective of course but majority rules and sales rule that’s the reason they’re in business is to sell cars so if they sell more than that means the people like them more.
