IMO the better looking refresh is what we see on the non SS, non ZL1 models. I think it was a very good idea to have the looks of those grow apart, rather than look the same.

I predict sales will go up overall, with the bread and butter non SS models gaining in popularity from the refresh. They look better, are more recognizable, and will have the price advantage over the SS, and are more in the Chevrolet family of cars looks wise....SS buyers will still be there because they want the V-8 and styling is less of a priority over performance....and "edgier" styling....

Compared to the 5thGen refresh, I think this one is in a smarter direction overall...

although maybe that will work. Remember Jimmy Johnson trading Herschel Walker for what 11 relatively unknows thus going from a one win season to winning two Super Bowls in a row.

2019 will not be a winning season for Camaro.

As far as the Camaro goes the V6 and turbo 4 are very viable options. There lighter and handle better than the V8. they're also quite quick and decent on gas.

Basically they're good for daily drivers

I love the V8 if it was mine would be nothing but a weekend warrior living in my garage like my old Z28

I used to take that car and beat on it for half an hour to an hour at a time and then put it away it was great stress relief.

And I will honestly say if they had a more reasonably priced V8 I would have bought that instead and daily driven it but it was just too much of a difference in price for a car I'm going to daily Drive

People really give no credit to how fast both the 2.0T and V-6 Camaro really is, hell people probably don't give the 2.0T Camaro enough credit against the EB Mustang.

Do they ever publish specifically SS sales?

detamble13 · 04-10-2018, 08:36 AM

49 pages so far. One positive is that a lot of people care about the Camaro and want it to look good. The performance is there and I like they're offering the 1LE with the turbo 4.

agreed the 2 L and the 3.6 l are awesome engines

The more pictures I see of the rear end, the more I think the tail lights are an after thought. IMO they just look tacked on

That is so true. I hope to God that GM scans through these polls and social media to realize that with a few tweaks, they can make the refresh a masterpiece

I wouldn't say masterpiece but they could make it better. The bowtie in the bumper on the SS just seems so oddly placed.

and the base cars IMO they look like they are smiling lol

samurai · 04-10-2018, 08:55 AM

I think as a 1LE the SS would look pretty good. Of course it's way better when you fix the bowtie

The splitter definitely makes the front look way better IMO, I'm still not sold on the black strip between the grills, think it would look better body color. Can we get the photoshop in the other colors?!?

Also I think I want that hood for my 1LE!

SPARTAN sui · 04-10-2018, 09:23 AM

After sleeping on it, I don't hate it as much. The Bowtie is the weirdest part of both new front ends. Too high on the LT models, too low on the SS models. haha.
