Oh but its not ugly. Why do you think GM used the LT body for the COPO cars. Yep... they look great.
You also need to drive one, I have had C5, C6, and 2 C7 corvettes, the V6 manual 6th gen Camaro is far from boring. At 3400 lbs, 335 horses, aggressive trans gears with a 3.29 rear gear, it will hang with a manual SS to 60 from a dead start.

I think what would have been nice was if they used 16/18 front v6 cover with the new headlights and SS hood for the new base V8 or ..give it something completely specific to make it special..I don't appreciate you bashing on the styling of the 19. just because you don't like it ..there is alot of that do .

I suspect if someone owns a '19 that they wo't be trading it in on a '20 unlss they seriously have problems with the existing V6 or T4 LT's. A can of paint will fix the grille on a '19 if you must.

Seriously I'm sure by the holiday season aftermarket companies with probably offer painted middle section bumper covers .so people can change ther bowtie to the top grill location.
Seems like this is all to familiar.

And you know the 6th gen LT was 300 lbs lighter and more HP. Guess I was wrong remarking about your baby, unfortunately I could never hold back what I am thinking.

so recently I had to take the SS in for some warranty work with the radio and they gave me the V6 with 8 speed Auto transmission . Even though it's a little bit faster and lighter than the 5th gen V6 Camaro definitely hands down enjoyed 5th gen V6 Camaro better.. and what's up with the gas mileage on the newer V6 you might as well have the V8. gas mileage isn't that much different.. also I got to have some time with the turbo 4-cylinder Camaro. that car is definitely impressive I think that I would choose that one over the newest V6.

Except the T4 needs premium fuel which costs more than the 87 octane the V6 uses. The 335 hp 6 is pretty damned impressive actually. My old fashioned carburetor style engine produces an n/a 900.7 hp on the Westech dyno and the little 6 is certainly not insulting to me.

I said hang with, not beat it. By the time 60 mph comes up the SS should have it by a good car length. I have been on a 1/4 mile track with my manual 6 cyl car, ran with OE 18 inch M&S rated tires, no mods and a 13.5 et. My 60ft time was 2.0.
Look at some manual stock SS 60 ft times with OE tires average passes with average drivers. On the street a SS will spin more from a dead stop, the 6 cyl car you can get on it immediatly. I know a SS is faster and quicker in every contest, just saying the 3.6 6th gen cars are close enough to make a SS driver look twice in some circumstances.

5.4 (man.)
5.5 (auto.)

The 6th gen V6 cars are almost 300 lighter and have 12 more horse and more torque and the sweet alpha chassis. The 5th gen 6 cyl cars cannot compare. I also got low 30's mpg consistantly. The V6 is a much sweeter driver than the 4 banger turbo and sounds much better.

The 4 banger hangs with your car. Very close numbers. V8 just eats them sorry.
