The placement of the Bowtie is a disaster on the SS. The first mod most 2019 owners will probably do is move the bowtie up to the grill, or remove it all together. Epic fail by GM on the front end design. Makes the car look cheap.

Every Camaro to come out since the gen6 launch has looked more ridiculous than the last. It's like they're all trying to one up each other with the cartoonishly aggressive styling up front. I know I'm partial because of the car I own but I think it's got the best balance of class and aggressiveness for what it is. I don't remember a single person saying the new Transformers Bumblebee car looked good when it came out, but that's the direction this is headed in.

Just seems way too similar to bumblebee in T5, wish they would have came up with something new as I'm never really a fan of the transformers iterations of these cars

From an aesthetics standpoint, I'm not impressed. As a potential buyer, I'm less inclined to purchase a 2019 at this point. It looks too much like a camry that's also trying to look like an audi.

The only thing that interested me is this...and whether or not it can be installed on a 2016-2018...

Standard Rear Camera Mirror on 2SS and ZL1 models offers a wider, less obstructed field of view using a camera display that eliminates potential obstructions such as rear body pillars or seat headrests; a conventional rearview mirror view is also available

Not me.

This refresh and its front end design pretty much guarantees that the 6th gen will always lag behind the S550 Mustang in sales.

That's all I can see in it as well. And we all threw up in our mouths looking at those photos. GM really doesn't listen.

Now will it be more expensive to put the '16 front end on the '19 or put the 10L90 and associated control modules into a '16.

Also appears that Hyper Blue has been ruined with some purple in it. =(

I’m curious if there’s anything else coming. The only reason I can think of to show this car off on a talk show is you want something bigger to be the focus of your own event.

No worries
