If there is no choice GM would loose sales . The 10 speed has proven itself to be faster .Porsche ,Ferrari ,and Ford all have discovered the benefits ,why shouldn't Chevy ?

Lets remember there are drivers out there that don't have use of all their limbs. But they can really drive! Have the automatic available offers them a chance at the performance others enjoy.

I'll agree its not my thing, but I don't mind the auto being offered. Like someone said, whatever helps keep it selling and not disappearing forever.
HOWEVER, I do agree that the styling is just rough. Its not just the Camaro either. I've owned GM trucks for almost 20 years now and I just can' t get into the new weirdo styling language GM is using across the board. The revamped 2019 Camaro is a little better, but I still can't get into the looks of the current gen Silverado and even the last gen of Tahoes and Suburbans. |

I don't agree with the auto or the 2.0 or V6. I dont think GM ruined the 1LE with those trims though. They perform extremely well. I do think GM diluted the 1LE making them too common and.......not special anymore.
1LE package isnt even an RPO code anymore. If you wanted to stir a pot, one could say the 6th gen Camaros arnt "real" 1LEs

What's not real about making it handle better, go faster and appeal to more customers ? Some of you may not be aware that GM is in it to sell volume and make a profit for its share holders . The bottom line has been and always will be market share and profit. The old timers in the car biz say "there is an ass for every seat , and a seat for every ass".

The C7 Corvette ZR1 is the best performing GM car of all time and it has an automatic trans option. It was only a matter of time the ZL1 1LE was offered with an automatic.
It's just how it is today. Automatic trans technology is great now and less people today know how to drive a manual trans. I know what you mean though.....my ZL1 1LE would definitely have 3 pedals!

Stick shifts are becoming obsolete. There used to be a time where going with an automatic meant taking a performance hit compared to a skilled driver with a manual transmission. Now days with computer controlled transmissions, stick shifts just can’t keep up anymore.
If you are seriously losing your shit over an automatic 1LE, just wait, hybrid and electric pony cars are right around the corner.
