Big difference in not minding to own one and "Damn, I have to go out and buy one right now!"

Well, it is a Chevy and the bowtie is a Chevy badge... lower trims have gold? My SS 1LE has a gold one... it's not a ZL1 uber camaro, but it isn't an LT either.

Except for the giant horse or GT badges...

I think GM better lawyer up - Dodge has a pretty good case for design theft!!!

True. Maybe Camaro needs it's own logo. I just think it looks cleaner with no bow ties on it.

Not really. I WOULD BUY ONE! Not everything has to be extreme.

Camaro has its own logo on the front fenders.

Yes it does. Its been around since gen 1.

As for the bowties, there are tons of Chevy fans who are proud of that bowtie. I remember in the 90s, dudes would paint bowties on their 100k dollar street rods with heart beat lines and stuff. Lol "The Heartbeat of America, is Today's (or Yesterday's) Chevrolet"

Not sure how many of ya remember that. Hahaha

I have no problem with the bowties, I just dont think a big hole in the shape of one, dead center in the bumper looks good. Its laughable that GM tries to justify the gimmick as providing substantial air flow... whatever. Ha!

I could never figure out why they call it a bowtie. It looks nothing like a bowtie. Lol
Sorry ,carry on.

These were some of the same sentiments and comments about C7 when it first appeared. I owned a C6 and personally, did not like the rear and front fascia on the C7 and still don't. Regardless, I still see a lot of C7's. Apparently someone likes them and this may hold true for the "19 Camaro. I will add that the A10 in the new Camaro is a huge plus and it might be just enough that buyers can live with the cosmetic appearance changes.

That’s ok that you don’t like the C7, nothing wrong with that and you weren’t alone, but the general public went absolutely crazy over it at first. Not many care much anymore, naturally. I have so many stories but I’d be here all day. I guarantee you no one’s gonna ask hey can I sit in your 2019 refresh Camaro and have my picture taken? Point is Chevy knows how to make great looking cars that make people say wow look at that! I want one! If most camaro fans are saying eww look at that, it’s foul ball and not the home run the C7 and gen 6 Camaro were.

Its the Camaro internet crowd base that is divided mostly and that is really a small percentage of Camaro fans of overall. The 2019 will sell as many if not more then the average has been for the Gen 6 Camaro, only time will tell but i have faith in it. The A10 will make it a faster car , especially at a drag strip so they will have the bragging rights. I personally have seen more longtime Camaro owners that past over the 5th Gen Camaro buying the 6th Gen . I am with you liking the C6 over the C7 and i remember a lot of Corvette fans didn't care for it at first. I believe the new C8 mid engine Corvette will have its share of haters as well.
