Agree in general, perhaps in the 70s a 2 door coupe could pass as a family car but no soccer mom is going to even look twice at such cars and instead march right towards a whole platora of suv and cuv choices.
That ship has sailed a couple of decades ago and if anything it is still picking up steam. And thats why Porsche SUVs handily outsell all their cars bar none. And thats no different at any other manufacturer these days. The market has changed completely and likely forever. Moreover power levels have gone up and an average driver is scared shitless of many cars these days. Many just keep them as Sunday cars and coffee rides to be driven in fair weather and very gingerly. Most dont use them as primary transportation but rather summer cars only. When i had my 81 z28 i drove it all year round. Very few if any folks do it anymore. Unless they have an awd Carrera. |

Camaro should have just left it alone for us to live with this.

Think everyday family car is a bit much of a stretch, but somewhat more in the direction of user friendly if there is a sliding scale so to speak. Chevrolet already has Corvette for their 2 seat coupe. But who knows what the grand plan is though with the mid engine Corvette coming down the road.

The camaro sells over 2-3 times as many cars as corvette does.
So ditch the corvette. Make a top tier camaro that has an interior made out of quality materials and first rate powertrain. Then the normal lineup for the rest of us peasants. Not only do you then sell more camaro's...but you're reducing product lines and saving money at the manufacturing level. Win! Chevy's gonna have to ditch one of them and streamline, and the vette is never going to have the market that the camaro has ....so it's the obvious choice for the chopping block. As far as looks go with the 2019. Meh, looks fine. At least it looks like they didn't do anything stupid that would fragment the aftermarket much. |

The 2019 refresh is polarizing, but there will be people who love it. |

The 5th Gen Camaro did the same, but, GM has been diluting the looks ever since, and now they are just botching it up. Meanwhile, the Camaro engineers keep upping their game. The car gets faster, and better every year. The designers are not holding up their end of the bargain. They need to go. They need a whole new design team, exterior and interior. |

Everyday car simply being better interior room, storage and outward visibility. There’s a sliding scale here and things can be tweaked without taking away from the vehicles intention (see Mustang) Obviously on Alpha this is a tough thing to accomplish. Just spit balling
