One: looks nothing like a Toyota in anyway. Two: those arent fangs. That front end is finished looking. You are really reaching.

You know, I didnt see them at first but they're there. If the bumper was body colored, it does have similar cheeks/fangs. They look better on the ram though because the grill isn't a black hole.

Now the trend is this huge grille, blacked out bumper thing and it may be backfiring however, some cars execute it better. I happen to like the new accord and charger but cant stand the Toyotas, Lexus, or the Chevy versions.

Come on, that is a face only a mother could love.
I think the Lexus styling looks hot and drove three different models last February. Couldn't get past how poorly the infotainment system works so no go.

Let me just suggest that if GM had announced an LT2 with 500 hp we would be having a completely different conversation about the front fascia and tail lamps.

Sure, that likely would change the conversation but there is no LT2 and there is no 500 hp.

Does that make the design nice?

That's true, had that been the case we could be saying, "Yeah but she's got a great personality."

Did you forget that they already make a 650hp version that looks a 1000x better than what they came up with in this 2019 SS?

Why would a 500hp LT whatever make a difference in its looks anyhow?

I agrèe. Especially given those are enthusiast cars...apparently
Sure there is a 650hp version here already but also at a premium which only a minority can afford lest theyd be outselling the SS.

Thanks for the pic. Can't wait to see that in blue with some 0 offset black wheels. It's going to be stunning.

So much better than the current Silverado.

Oh and related to the Camaro, still don't like the SS front but I like the RS front and the rear is a huuuuuge upgrade, it's by far the weakest part of the current Camaro.

Disagree. The new rear is busy and looks like an afterthought especially with those googly eye lights. Look at my signature, now that is much nicer. All they had to do was remove the current version's bumper swoops.

Hehe we will have to agree to disagree as i too think the rear end incl current lights is the weakest point. It does look better on a 1LE but much worse on a regular SS because of its spoiler and lack of black contrast. The new lights are recessed. And the overall look much better. Imo of course

The Dodge ties together. The fangs on the SS look tacked on.
