lol through the tears pal, it helps. In honor of Chevy's "real people", lets quote some reactions to it:
  • Hey remember that thing we made that looks really cool and original yeah put it in the Traaaaasssh
  • “Fix it if it ain’t broke” -Chevrolet designers
  • It looks like a newbie boxer wearing a practice helmet with the cheek bone shields on either side.
  • It looks like a hippo smiling
  • April Fool's was last week, Chevy.
  • Wow that’s seriously ugly. One looks like its smiling and the other looks like Predator, in a bad way

But hey, different strokes for different folks

I could remind you that those "Gen5 guys" beat us by many numbers, and to top it off they have what to do with it, both pre-refresh Gen5 and its refresh have sold more than the Gen6 ... despite being more obsolete.

I can assure you there are no tears on my part.

What the “internet” likes or dislikes has zero effect on what I think.

It's like YouTube comments.....do they really count as the word of society....I sure hope not

Dark lights are now standard for the top trims
Extractor is more functional
10L80 instead of 8L90

Con:
The front is officially ugly from every angle
Extractor still looks like a Pepboys add-on cut into a hood that wasn't meant for it
Not the same 10-speed from the ZL1 (10L90), it is the same as the troublesome Ford 10R80 (GM 10L80)

Dang, cannot find one around here in the flesh to look at. Where did you get to see one?

Saw one that tested at Sebring and there are already a few driving around central Florida as well. A couple of my nearby dealers have already had deliveries as well. Went by to check one out but only go to see it from 25ft because the buyer was taking delivery.

Your location doesn't sound like it is close to Grapevine, but Classic Chevy has a few more slated for delivery this week. Check your location dealer websites and look for the really low VIN's already published for 2019 Camaro listings. Those should be in route to dealer already. Give them a call and go see one for yourself.

Riverside Blue definitely has a purple glint to it compared to Hyper Blue. I don't like that either, but maybe some people are looking for that. I really wish they hadn't removed Nightfall Gray, because a dark gray was probably the only color I could see this not looking bad in. The Satin Steel is too light and should've been a replacement for Silver Ice. Shadow Gray has visible blue in it and is a departure from the great true grays GM has put on the Corvette and Camaro recently. And I agree with others that one of the new colors should've been a dark forest/hunter/military flavor of green.

The entire color wheel for the 2019 should've been the darkest hues possible so the front end didn't stick out like a low trim Charger.

Still not a fan of it. When this rolls up slowly even at its best possible angle, I don't get chills down my back like I have for Camaros past.

It sounds almost identical to my 2011 with a Borla Atak installed, which is their loudest exhaust. That is very very impressive for a stock sound. I haven't heard any clips of a pre-refresh 6th gen that had that engine note, even in sport mode, so maybe you're right.

The front looks better than I expected from early photos.

Great looking car!

Happens every time a refresh comes out. I went through it on the mustang forums refresh and lucky me! I get to go through this crap again here!

In 6 months to a year, the old car will look like.....well.....an old car!
