My initial reaction was OMG that’s hideous. But it’s starting to grow on me. When the 6th gen came out I loved it. But a lot of people criticized it for being to much of a evolution rather than a revolution, and it looked to much like the 5th gen. Well It looks like GM listned. They Definitely went more revolutionary with the redesign. I definitely like the looks of the turbo 1le. The center bow tie on the SS is just awkward. If they change that It would flow much nicer. I’m looking forward to seeing it in person to judge. But one things for sure. I will not be upgrading my current SS unless is for a ZL1

The new headlight design looks cool but i'm disappointed about the front bumper design and the large blacked out portion. Just doesn't look right to me at this point. Maybe time will change that?

Ppl keep saying I have to see it in person or I have to let it grow on me...why? You’re supposed love a car the moment you see it not let it grow on you then convince your self you have to buy it, you’re supposed to be like wow the minute you lay your eyes on a car, if not then pass you never liked it.

Need to see one in person, but I feel like it is just like the 5th Gen refresh. Glad I bought one before the refresh. Went backwards again or so it seems in the pics. WTF Chevy - it should get better not worse. Those 5th Gen refresh tail lights were the ugliest ever. Only looked decent at night and should have been covered up during the day. The front fascia was OK but not a major improvement.

Agreed.

I’m actually ok with the new tail lights. Once I’m in the market for a used LT4 ZL1 I won’t have to restrict my search to 2017-18, where as finding my LSA ZL1 was only going to be a 2012-13

I think the 2019 LT/LS looks cool but I don't like we're the bowtie is placed on the SS I'd I bought one I'd get the front bumper painted and I would move the bowtie to the upper grille.

I know, right?! What also kills me is those that say "no one like a refresh change at first, but then likes it"......uuuuaaaa, no. There are MANY cars and trucks over the years that made changes I did not like then. Guess what?........I STILL DONT!!! So drop this "You'll like it in time" crap. No.

"New rear fascias and chiseled LED taillamps are all other drivers will get to see. RS and SS models receive a new blacked-out taillamp for an even more sinister look than before, as well as a unique rear diffuser for improved aerodynamics."

What? How did this model give us a more sinister look? Did GM really improve the rear diffuser and aerodynamics? If so... please explain. Sounds like marketing hype to me!

Need another option. I like the red Turbo 1le. The SS is not good.
