17 and 19 side-by-side

I normally don't park my Z in this part of the parking lot, but I saw this '19 show up today and parked next to him for a quick photo.
It's the first I have seen a '19 with my own eyes.
I have to say, I don't dislike the taillights. I like mine just fine and would not have redesigned them, but that's just me.
The front is a big no for me though. I just don't understand the reasoning behind the change. I couldn't get a side-by-side of the fronts unfortunately.

The 17' rear looks sleaker. But its a matter of getting used to.

I remember when the 6th gen came out, people were complaining because the taillights didn't look like a Camaro like the 5th gen did. Now Chevy went back to a similar 5th gen look and people don't like it. Like I said its a matter of getting used to.

Very nice pic.
The back of the ˋ19 looks much higher although it isn’t.

Not a fan of the spoiler on both these cars. Why isn't spoiler delete an option?

Sorry, but after having seen the 19's in person at a few dealerships and a few on the street, there is not one part of the redesign besides the A10 transmission that comes close to competing with the 16-18 6th Gen. Those tail lights are absolutely hideous as is the front.

I believe this is because he has a ZL1 and the 19 in question is not a V8, its a 4 cyl or 6 cyl, so it has different suspension.

the '19 at Camarofest all had cameras in the rear spoiler. I cant clearly see it in that one though, base model? I dont see a badge either.

The 17 is hideous! No wonder they didn’t sell!

I've seen them together too. the 2016-18's are much smoother and cleaner. the 2019 looks odd .

I believe it is an optical illusion due to the cut line (character line) in the rear bumper cover...

Yes indeed. I suddenly dislike the 19 rear bumper too now

That is a good comparison picture! The 19 would look much better with the dual exhaust tip!
