Agree. The new SS looks more aggressive. Interesting that the new hood is one inch taller. Hopefully that’s to clear something bigger that is yet to be announced.

If, in America, one is still entitled to their opinion...

I just don't personally like the 19 changes better than the 16-18 style. I find it awkward looking. I don't prefer the grille, the flow tie, the air extractor, the swirl wheels, or the tail lights. Basically all new aesthetic aspects are a downgrade in my eyes.

I'm really glad to have watched that video link, it's verification that buying a leftover 17 instead of waiting for 19's was the best choice for me. Not for everyone, but definitely for me. I'm sure the A10 is great but it certainly wasn't enough to make me buy a weirder looking car (in my eyes) over the great looking original Gen 6.

You can have all have different opinions, but mine can't be wrong, since we're each entitled to our own.

I guess that's your opinion.. Not sure how people couldn't see how this is more sinister in it's own way. See how opinions differ? I honestly like this front end better than the first initial release of the 6th gen. I've talked with several people on this and they all agree as well.

Is this to everyone's taste? I guess not since were having this conversation, but to say this is ugly like some on here? I have no idea what they are smoking. I'm going to go on a limb and say most of the people that see it are going to like it. Us enthusiasts are a small percentage of people, luckily for myself and the others that actually do like the refresh, since I'm sure it'll sell just fine for GM.

Agreed. Has that "insane" aggressive smile, and I love it. Well, if I can dream, I'd hope for the new LT5 engine, but realistically no idea..

Marketing Manager...the MY2019 Challenger changes + redline model got 5 (FIVE!!!) really cool marketing videos and tons of pictures to make people exited about the new model year. And yet the 2019 Camaro order banks are open and we got some rendering pictures with not that cool angles and a lame video with seeing the car standing around from two angles...


I'm not really a fan of the challenger, but this is how you sell cars, not hiding your brand new car beside some small events nobody cares about

I'm sorry..The 19 refresh DOES Not spell fear at all. If anything its becoming LESS aggressive.

Your opinion. Are you going to crap all over buyer this fall too?

My first post regarding the refresh last April was to say the SS looked more aggressive and they softened the RS.

You're exactly right. I can't stand the Challenger, but I envy those Dodge fans. SRT keeps churning out cars that I'd love to get on board for. If only they weren't land yachts, the interior wasn't so primative, and they were a touch more modern, I'd be all over a Challenger Scat Pack.

On the flip side Chevy and Ford keep tripping over their own feet with styling, while doing everything else right. Ford had my money with the power bump and 10-speed AT, all they had to do is not butcher the refresh. Chevy had my money with the 10-speed AT, all they had to do is not butcher the refresh.

I'd love to see some aftermarket taillights and front bumpers for the refresh. The Rousch stuff is cartoon-esque with the Mustang.

I will say they do make cool cars and commercials , they sell an image . Chevy should do a commercial with those cars against the Camaro 1LE family around Nurburgring or Streets of Willow and show people what those Challengers can do , it would be comical. Good chance Dodge won't complete a lap .

The more I see photographs and videos of the 2019 SS, the more I want one! I love the aggressive styling!

As an aside, just about every person who’s photoshopped a modification to the 2019 has made them look so much better—in my opinion. So maybe these will make a great canvas for the modifiers.

Out of 15-20 people I've talked to in person only 1 like the 19 version, everyone else thought it was a step back. The one person who liked it, thought it looked more sporty like a Lexus and would be popular with the younger crowd.

That Riverside Blue was there any hint of Purple in that color or just straight up blue ?

I love Hyper Blue and kinda hate I didn't end up buying one, but this one is looking better than I thought initially.

In the pictures I have seen it looks between the Deep Ocean Blue on my truck and Hyper Blue.

But you gotta remember hardly anyone has actually "seen" them in person yet.....Once they are out in public a lot more people will like it.

GM does a very poor job of showing off their cars in pictures.
