The sad thing is, they could've kept the 5th gen platform by lightening it up a bit (Zeta II) and refreshing the front and rear bumpers for a cripser look. Also, the '14 update could've lasted at least another year or two before another platform change.
If they just upgraded the powertrains for '16, GM probably could've had just as many sales as they did with the lackluster 6th gen design. It would've at least kept 5th gen fans wanting to trade up for the more powerful powertrains instead of being comopetely repulsed by the new design.
With the '19 mid-cycle update, GM is once again trying to fracture Camaro buyers. 6th gen owners who like the 6th gen style (but only the '16-'18 models) and those who are willing to accept and trade up to the newly restyled '19's.
