2019 BLACK Camaro out in public ! - Page 3

Paint it any color you like. That front end is hideous.

Wonder if this could be made to fit the frontend

Hoping that the Gen 7 looks better or I will be shopping Hellcats.

Still looks like two skillets sitting on top of a black flat top stove that someone slapped a chevy badge on.

I can still see the ugly in the front end. At least the black tones it down a bit. Im sorry to say ,but can't get on board with this car at all. Big let down.

Agree

The front end looked so bad, I never noticed how much I didn't like the hood?

nancygrl · 05-04-2018, 10:21 AM

Wasn't a fan at first with that Blue upon reveal, but I might just hold off and get me a '19 SS in black. I'll plasti-dib the flowtie to make it blend in.

RenegadeXR · 05-04-2018, 11:54 AM

Eh, I thought I would like it better in black so the random bumper insert was less noticeable, but now it just draws even more attention to the silver outline of the flowtie. I don't think there's any real saving the SS's front end short of removing the flowtie entirely.

Someone should start a petition on change.org

Stop the camaro refresh!

F1FTY · 05-04-2018, 12:16 PM

Yep - still ugly.

I wish Chevy would listen but they seem to be stuck in the echo chamber of "people will love it when they see it in person.”

I know, right?!

Wait until you see the hood in person. That "heat extractor" looks out of place. Cheap plastic with extremely slow curves at every angle really clash with the sharp lines of the hood. It looks like someone ghetto'd their car with a DIY part from AutoZone that was intended for a Honda Civic.

GM will definitely not let this redesign run for more than 2 model years before rushing to do one of the following:
Another refresh
7th gen debut
Cancel Alpha1 vehicles (Cadillac moves to Alpha2 with CT4/CT5)

The 2019 Camaro is GM's "Ford Five Hundred" moment. Nobody is going to fall in love with that style and one lap around the auto show circuit should be enough to get it into GM's heads.

A little 1LE comparison shot.

DeliveryMan · 05-04-2018, 12:45 PM

Looks fine.
after FOrd announced that they will be phasing out most Sedans.
Buick Verano is gone.
and other cars are disappearing.
The car enthusiast seriously need to get a grip on themselves. the Camaro was discontinued before and can happen again.
it's still a RWD car with great engine options and suspension. be thankful that the Camaro is still around.
this is a different automotive landscape. The Crossovers are taking up a big chunk of automobile sales.
I love the front fascia on the 2016, but I'd still take a 2019 over almost any other vehicle.

detltu · 05-04-2018, 01:12 PM

Looks better in black. Still wish they would change it to some of the suggested edits.

I'm sure it will grow on me.

Where is the ZL1 and 1LE info?

JohnCobalt · 05-04-2018, 01:22 PM

I fear people are developing stockholm syndrome with this thing.

It looks like the bottom picture was taken after your car had a stroke.
