If any of you druggies are having a hard time finding a job, you might wanna try applying for gm's design team. They obviously don't care what you're on.

Imo only dodge is making their cars sexier every year, Ford is horrible and Chevy is even worse....YOU CALL THIS A REDESIGN? The top trim SS model looks like a base Dodge Charger for Christ sake, HORRIBLE.

This is an absolute shameful and disgusting abomination, especially the SS. This is how you’re going to fix sales Chevy? Where’s the more affordable V8? If you want to keep this car on the market you all better go back to the drawing board while there’s still time and FAST. No one wants that Transformers garbage as our SS. What in the world were you thinking? Either make a true 1st Gen retro like the Challenger or a 3rd Gen inspired car for the next Gen. The current SS was fantastic compared to this, all it needed was a lower price.

People keep saying aerodynamics, but I'm going to wonder if the bumper isn't like it is for the forward-collision system. On my BMW it was radar-based and it was also behind a front panel (transparent to the radar). Bet that has something to do with it.

The front facia appears like it belongs on a Hyundai and the look, while more sleek is much less agessive. It just doesn't look masculine enough to me to belong on a muscle car. Really going to have to see that new blue in person but Hyper Blue Metallic is one of the best hues on the car currently, and will be hard to top. Where is the A10 for the non V8's? What the heck happened to the decontented V8 we were all but promised?? Overall to me this refresh is a dissapointment!!!

To me gen5 was neither very sporty looking nor aggressive, a bit of a blob, yet it sold like hot cakes.

Then it got a face lift to modernize the look and folks cried over Honda like rear lights and alike. But now they love the design apparently...

And then 6th gen didnt really change the overall look much (big mistake) but did make the car look as a super aggressive sports car vs a muscle car. And the sales tanked...
No, this car's sales should not be compared to a Camry (as one post suggested), but they must be compared to its competition. And as such the sales suck. Thats pretty much proof that MOST folks dont go for aggressive designs. And based on first hand feedback: very few women, if any. And thats a big market for the Stang for example.

I happen to like the refresh. It is not what i EXPECTED but id buy it if it were time to trade mine in.
I actually think the new front end matches the rest of the car's body much better now and the rear end got fixed very nicely.

The whole package looks less aggressive, but more retro in a new way. I like the base models going back to 5th geb styling cues. That 4 banger 1LE looks awesome to me. I like the fact that the SS is differentiated from the rest. And yes i like the retro rear lights and the extractor hood. Camaro again!

GM tried a modern, aggressive, looking sports car Camaro and it failed sales wise. Yet it outperforms its competition and the Vette in some cases and automotive critics love it.
But what sells cars is a wide market appeal not critics and not even outright performance.
And i happen to think GM did the right thing here.
But at the end it is the sales numbers which will matter.

P.S. to those claiming they love the current design and hate the refresh...but show Dodge or Ford, etc in their sigs: here's your chance to put your money where your mouth is and buy a current gen6. Otherwise youre just a troll

2019 Camaro unveiled with refreshed design, 10 Speed and 1LE Turbo Model!!

Love the new tail lights, and love the fact they smoothed out the crease on the rear fascia.

The whole rear looks miles better than the outgoing version in my opinion

Wow, the rear looks good!
Much more sporty than the somewhat bland current design.
Again, I really like what they did with the RS front and the rear.
I just DESPISE the SS front!
What were they thinking?? :(

Rear looks good, front looks too narrow and boetie is in the wrong spot.

The rear end looks way better here than on Chevys pics. Do you have more real life pictures of the refresh?
