Nice. They actually listened. Someone on here rendered the SS exactly this way with the moved badge and body color bumper back when the refresh first released.

But you don't understand ... people need to see ads on the TV. That way, people who were thinking of buying a Rav4 or Accord will understand that what will really suite their needs is a Camaro.

Wow... Sales must really be bad. That is a lot of change in less than one year from ..a lot of change....This is essentially another refresh. (6th gen 3.0) I hope it works for them. At least they didn’t cause any confusion with the LT1 powered LT1

I like the changes. A pleasant surprise. I wasn't sure they would do it, even with some of the rumors floating around. Way to go, GM.

It's really just a organization of parts to make a new package. There are no new parts on the LT1, just how you can package it. Only the SS gets a grill cover and a relocated bowtie.

Me? I’m offended by the Dodge ads. “domestic not domesticated”. From an Italian company for a product made in Canada. Sorry doesn’t work for me, but maybe it’s exactly why it’s selling.

Mustang? What commercials have the Mustang? I recall only the one with the measurement of the exhaust.

I fully agree a Camaro commercial would be AWESOME!!! But GM will only due it based on improved sales and a good business case, not to make us feel better.
Never thought about the Dodge slogan like that but damn, you're right! Lol!

Oh, I absolutely agree but it seems like if the majority of people thought that way, the Camaro would trounce the Mustang in sales.

I'm with you. I keep going back and forth between a 18 2SS or 19 SP. I've even test drove both and can't decide which I like best.

It's not even the cover, they just needed to remove the stamp in the production line that is cutting the bowtie hole in the bumper. And the Black Bowties are a standard part they just need to mount on the grill. So it shouldn't be that big of a chance for the production. But of course Chevy is doing the change to push sales. Seeing the positive reaction to the change in social media and forums I am pretty sure there will be a lot of people that now consider buying a Camaro SS again

Not a fan of how the grill gets narrower around the headlights. That way I think the 5th gen 2010-2013 models where right on spot with the front end.
