I wrenched my neck on the door frame once or twice in the 5th. I would hope for more room. By 2023 I’ll be 68 and will probably not have a Camaro. Gonna give er hell another 3 years or so though!

I'm another vote on Gen II redesign for 7th Gen.

My 6th Gen is at 2200 miles & the look has grown on me, looks more modern, edgy. The extra creases in body & bumpers and for me the reverse mohawk roof, coming from a 5th Gen Vert. Here's a pic.



I miss the roominess of my 5th gen and look at 5th Gens fondly on the road. I still see way more 5th Gens out n about.

Yes I have a great deal of difficulty getting in the older cars and my buddy has to put the top down for me to ride in his 2018 Corvette.
I love my car, I get 20+ MPG on 93 octane and my truck gets 8-12 MPG on 102 octane.

I'm one of the few who loves the 2019 refresh and checked out an SS 1LE on Black Friday weekend. The added crease in the quarter panel killed it for me.
The 5th generation has the quarter panel going out horizontally then dropping vertically, making a sharp and muscular edge. The 6th generation goes out horizontally, slopes at an angle and then drops vertically. It's more modern, but not my preference.

I concur and would love to see it.

2nd gen Camaros were as cool as the 1st. 3rd gen Vettes were as cool as 2nd gen Vettes. Chevy was on a roll during those yrs. To completely overhaul and redesign to that level of badass was impressive. I can't think of another car that had back to back gens turn out as iconic as those two.

Agreed! The 2nd gen was the first Camaro I fell in love with. Although, I doubt that the current love affair with my 5th gen could be beat LOL.
