It's not your typical auto magazine review, but I really like this guy. Plenty of exterior shots to see the new design in real time. It's a 1LE he's reviewing.

Saw the base Camaro and 1LE cars over the weekend. Let me tell you, that 1LE in person looks freakin awesome. I'm sure it'll look even better with the painted bumper next year but, I'd be happy with it just the way it is, great job Chevy

Does anyone see any more info on this? I was about to order this week but now I'm considering waiting. I actually like the blacked out center on the 1LE but I still prefer the old bowtie placement.

I saw first '19 2ss vert with black bumper. I was shocked how it looked. Much better than expected. May have been the new Satin Steel color that made black bumper look better. The whole car was great looking as a vert. Not crazy over standard wheels on it. Rear lights grayed out as well. It is the color I wanted in 16 that was not available. Have been looking for a 2004 C5 Z06 to buy as a 2nd toy but after seeing this new vert having second thoughts. Had planned on keeping my 16 mosaic black till 8th gen and buying C5 so i have vette to switch off.

From the article:

Despite being able to dogfight cars twice or even three times its price on the road course, sales have contracted since the launch of the sixth-generation Camaro, and the design refresh has reportedly done little to change things, say dealers.

2019 Camaro SS models have made their way onto lots over the past month or so, but the take rate and interest in the vehicle has said to have dropped. Hence the snap decision to introduce a “concept” fascia design for the car during next week’s 2018 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. It’s said that the look, which colorizes the cross bar in the center fascia and moves the bowtie logo to the upper grille opening, is being fast-tracked for production, and replace the 2019 Camaro SS fascia as it stands.

I'd be surprised to see this actually become the default production face, since there are already other 2019s being produced with the current face. My guess is it will become an option, and maybe default for 2020. We'll see.


This makes me happy.

This will happen, count on it, when, only Chevrolet knows this. I'm thinking that it will be an option on the 20s. With that said, the Shadow Grey 1LE looked amazing! They had it parked next to an 18 SS so you could see the difference, there's a big difference, in a good way

...So it's a "Refreshed Refresh"..."Refresh Do-over"...."Refresh....NOT!..." or a "Refresh....Psyche!"....

So worry over sales quickly produces panic-mode.....This worries me of what in the world they may have in store for a 7thGen...What in the world kind of research have they been doing that lead to this fiasco? If this 6th Gen refresh is an admitted botch job, the anticipation will likely be for another turkey mistake for the 7th Gen, that is likely how far along?....

Here's what your 7thGen likely is scheduled to look like...or, it's back to the drawing board hopefully with enough time left...


Congrats to the early adopters of the '19SS...You will possibly have the most limited edition and rarest model of them all...lol...

I still can't believe they actually used that movie transformers design as a basically production design. Was there anyone on any forums that had anything good to say about that car? Not that I remember.

What I do remember is when images for that TF car came out...and I basically said that there was zero chance a production car would end up looking like that and it was just a Michael Bay travesty.....boy was I wrong.

Could throw the Transformers Emblem on 19' at least and act like its a special edition or something...

This makes me happy.

but the flow tie! it has been optimized for additional airflow! As others I have said and I agreed, if you needed the flow tie for the additional cooling then the design was flawed to begin with. the fact that they might have this "revised" fascia as a option or become the standard fascia tells me a few things.

1. The Flow tie was not needed for additional cooling.
2. GM became aware of the heavy criticism of the design and decided to change it.

[90503]

How about just ditching the SS fascia altogether and make the RS fascia standard for Camaro? If the ZL1 needs it's own unique design, fine. If the V-6 front can work for the SS, just use it and simplify things...Now with this concept design, that will be at least the fourth different Camaro front for this year alone....


The article mentions the dealers are reporting the "take rate" for the current SS is low....So low they are going to likely change it....How is the "take rate" for the RS...?

All they need to do is figure out how to center the bow-tie on this grille, lol...and they'll be good to go...

Yeah, the flow tie...lol....I think they are just hoping the "jury will disregard any previous mention of the flow-tie's importance"...lol
