Am I the only one....

Am I seriously the only one that loves the look of the new Turbo 4 1LE?!?! I know most people are really focused on the refreshed SS and I agree that that one is very polarizing but I think they did a very good job with the RS mainly the new RS 1LE!

Come on somebody back me up here! Also who wants to guess where this thing will end up as far as autocross classing goes?!?!

Nah...I like it too, I am just a V8 guy. This is a great platform for anyone that are into turbos and tracking. I hope we see more turbo upgrades for this engine, like we see in the WRX, EVO, Focus RS, and now the Honda Civic Type-R.

I definitely like it better than the SS but I do think I still prefer the previous RS 1LE look.

I'm glad they finally offer the 1LE package on the 2.0T, I just think the refresh design is amateur-hour. For sure the refresh LT's look better than the refreshed SS. Put some tape over the DRL eyebrow extensions and it'll look much better.

I like the 2.0t 1LE look better than the SS front end. Would have liked to seen the power bumped up to the 320 range & just drop the V6. would be a nice set up.

This seems like the package they have been promising since 6th Gen intro that was AutoX focused.

I will be watching closely to see where the SCCA winds up classing it.

For reference:

SS 1LE is AS (likely being moved to BS)

V6 1LE is DS

Stock SS is FS

Negative, no change to the LT1. It's in the press release. There was also no expectation for a change, so no surprises there.

Honestly, this is the best looking one out of the bunch. Anything non SS seems to have a decent front end. that SS... good lord

What people fail to realize or think about as wind tunnel tests show better aerodynamics with styling cues manufactures move in this direction.

Change is always hard,everyone likes to think thier generation model run is the best. We all differ in what perfection is and it’s abstract and very subjective.

I personally like them all and any improvements are a plus. I for one would rather have the most advanced Camaro possible. I’m not bored with my 18 yet and it checks all the boxes maybe after couple years of 7th generation run I get one of those.

I get it, but that doesn't sell cars because 90% of the people don't care. Why do you think the mustang still does so well even though the camaro is the better performance car?

The more I see this turbo 1le the more I like it and wish the v8 had this front end.

This is actually the golden egg of the refresh. Loved the concept and this thing is going to make some believers on the track. Mark my words.
