Love the tails. The front keeps getting uglier with every picture

My first time sharing my opinion,(I wanted some time to think)The tail lights are good with me. The black cross bar isn't doing it for me, although I have gotten used to the flowtie, it seems like a gimmick. I like the Chargers, but the front just seems unfinished on the Camaro. Maybe with more time...

Look closely at the reveal photos. On the driver's side, they are pointed forward. On the passenger side, they are pointed rearward. This is my main grip with this style wheel. If they are going to do that kind of wheel, it needs to be the same on both sides!

Good catch....So much for the heat extraction theory...lol...I guess they figure that the wheels look so bad, it doesn't matter what direction they go...they're all bent up, so what's the difference....lol...

I don't see what they think the attraction to these bent spokes would be....bad idea and bad design, IMO....

It seems the rear end refresh is acceptable, but the front went too Lexus/Dodge/transformer/generic and lost it's identity.

I think the wheels look good, but it would bother me that they aren't pointing the same way on both sides. I think the gray machined face split spokes look better though, so hopefully they are still an option. I like that Chevy does the $200 wheel options so you have a choice without spending a ton.

My focus has been more on the rear and waiting for a pic just like this since the ZL1 already has a bad ass front but with colors other than blue the front looks just fine and recognizable like it should. It's a pretty radical change so will take some time to sink in.

But now I 110% love the tail lights

Superb colour and first pix ive seen that actually reveal a new front end shape well plus other details i had missed completely in other shots. Like the prenounced angles on the outside of the fangs which make more sense for the latter now. The look is in your face and even beyond "new" as there really isnt anything like it out there - need to see 1LE.

When I was looking at 1SS-2SS cars these wheels were on my list.
Looks like this '19 is equipped, but don't know if they will be an option.

Post was.from Ohio F-bodies and stated it was at the Dayton Cars & Coffee, a pre-production '19. So who knows if the wheels are available in production form..

Nice...yeah the "dark-tinted" tail lights look better than the standard "red" for sure...

Wheels look better than the black bent spoke ones....

I hope they don't plan on leaving the four rear radar/back-up sensors painted white....Those should be body color.

Nice looking car....looks better than in the release photos...lol

The heat extractor on the hood looks like it needs to be one vent bigger front to back.
