The best news for sure for Camaro and its way overdue.. The ugly 2019 SS front facia and bowtie GONE..., A LT1 powered 1LT base car and the 10 speed auto trans with everything including the sweet 3.6 V6. Gotta love it, I sure do and there will be a 2020 Camaro in my garage soon. This is what Camaro should have done with the 2019 refresh.

I agree ,
But Go back and re-read some threads. I was one suggested a low cost v8 and was told with absolute authority by people here that GM could not do that it was impossible for a variety of reasons and also wouldn’t sell anyway and Chevrolet would not be stupid enough to do such a thing. Also go back and read where people said general motors would not change for 2020 that we were all wasting our time hoping for that. No no there is plenty of people who if they’re being honest, are very very surprised by these changes. People with open minds and forward thinking no they’re not surprised by this at all. |

I've not been a fan of the 6th gen, and the '19 restyle put the last nail in the coffin. However, this LT1 has me re-thinking my position. I was set to go Challenger next time around but a low spec V8 without the frying pan headlights has my attention. Finally some common sense out of GM.

When the general public can't tell the difference from a 5th gen to a 6th and the changes are much more significant than moving the bowtie a few inches and changing the color of the center beam to be body colored .... these wont make a difference in your opinion if you thought the 2019 looked ugly. the 10 speed vs the 8 speed isn't going to make a difference unless the 10 speed can do something that the 8speed can't. Can we finally use the paddle shifters without insane delay? if not then the general public isn't going to care between 2019 and earlier and 2020. Homelink? who cares. Wireless charging? you plug it in for android auto anyway. Nobody has enabled wireless android auto yet. and the placement and size of the wireless charging solution they did come up with initially is inconvenient for passenger devices and unusable for most current gen phones. I think it's also kinda funny that they put non-runflat all seasons on the lower trims when most people switch to those types of tires first chance they get because it's a daily driver. Runflat summer high performance tires are a great way to see you crashed off the side of a highway while on the way to work. I'd have liked to see a performance electric hybrid option, drop the V6 as it's price point overlaps too much between the lower V8 I'd have preferred to see a totally different front fascia with less aggressiveness. The camaro doesn't need to look aggressive when it is aggressive ...in pretty much any format it comes in. It bends the perception to being a car driven by immature men more than it needs to be. And i'd have liked to see all the stupid pretend analog gauges in the dash replaced by a lcd screen that just spans the entire gauge area. With customizable themes you can set and which would adjust based on night/day and ambient lighting pkg automatically. Either that or a switch from the crap interior plastic to something that doesn't vibrate everywhere whenever you listen to music. |

As a 19 2SS owner I feel a little mix of emotions. While I love the styling of my car, I feel that with this new redesign, my car will be looked down upon as an ugly step child even though it now becomes unique. Will it affect my resale value when I trade up later?
I could perhaps do a bumper conversion, but that's a hasle, and I can't even find any videos of someone taking apart the 19 front bumper so I could at least see what I'd be up against. So in the end, I love my car but I'm super disappointed in Chevy for not sticking to there guns and caving to people, who let's be honest, probably wouldn't have bought an SS to begin with. Guess I'll enjoy my whole 2 extra cubic inches of air flow from the flow tie. I'll just wait for the C8 hype to die down and order one of those in a couple years.....

You seem to be projecting priorities of enthusiasts (who do notice, and do care) onto the general public which does not. The general public does on occasion read car reviews, from which they get opinions about these cars which sometimes defy objective reality ("you can't see out of it!", as opposed to, visibility is relatively restricted but you can still see everything you need to to operate it safely), so if the general opinion of the refreshed 6th gen changes from the common idea that it's ugly we may see more sales - this remains to be seen. So there can be some value in this change, other than a return to a more traditional Chevrolet (and since the 5th gen, Chevrolet Camaro) front end. |

The camaro has bounced back and forth between overly aggressive styling and less so over its history, no reason why going to a less extreme force it out of what it means to be a camaro. Nor does it explain why further marginalizing the car makes it more so. And i've only purchased camaros and plan to only do so until they make personal driving illegal. I never said I wasn't happy with how the car looks in the 6th gen (especially not the 16), nor did i say i'd buy a current model year regardless of how it looked (i'm driving mine into the ground before purchasing a new car) but usually the goal of a refresh is to get more market share and I dont think you do that by doing more of what has been causing it to lose market share. |
