Everybody has different tastes.

For every one person saying the 18's are better there is a different person saying the 19's are better...

I've already got mine ordered and can't wait.

I remember back when I had a 13 ZL1 and the 14's had a new rear end - everyone hated that refresh at the time too - yet now people say it's one of the best.....

I’m lost. What new wing?

Who cares, it's the Ford guys that have to look at those tail lights anyway.

On the other hand, the rear feels like a hack job, the bumper and taillight bulges are an eyesore compared to the pre-refresh rear. The '19 design changes appear to be the outcome of some corporate committee "settlement" with all "inputs" given "appropriate" weight, as opposed to the execution of someone's vision. If those defending this design knew how it came about, they might not sing the same tune...

*No, I'm not a disgruntled '18 owner who wants to feel better about his decision or justify it. I could have waited for '19 models and consciously didn't, even in the face of the A8 vs A10 dilemma, which says a lot about how much the new look is unacceptable to me.

**This is the last time I comment on the '19 refresh, there is no reason for me to go any further, and don't want to be negative Nancy either.
I think you meant ingenious right? And where is the camera - I don't see it

Fixed the typo, thanks. As far as I see, the camera is that small dark spot on the backside of the middle stanchion.

The ZL1 front end was already ruined. The SS has the best front end, the ZL1 looks like it has a serious overbite and needs braces. Its ugly.

I with you guys, the previous rear bumper was so boring it was like it came right off the Cruze or something.

One just needed to check the right LPO boxes when ordering. Blade spoiler, black lights and black bow ties.

Its really nice that black lights and bow ties are standard with the SS, ZL1 and 1LEs now
