Yeah, some people didn't like the 6th Gen at reveal, but most people agreed that it looked nice.

The refresh in comparison is looking bad to like 95% of the people here, while most hate is towards the new SS frontend. Even big Camaro YouTubers all stated that they don't like the new styling.
Of course it will grow over time to some people and will find some buyers, but the first impression of the car is just bad. Go back to the topic of the first T5 bumblebee pics, even 2 years ago it was clear that the design is just not good. I don't get how they could continue using this frontend.

But we will see. I can totally see that people who still got a 5th gen could trade up to a 4cyl or v6 refresh, since it has a lot of 5th styling cues. And I think the car will grow on most of the community once we get more real life pics. But overall Chevrolet should have known that the first reaction of the SS will be bad.

I haven't heard anyone say that the 6th gen was a perfect design. It looks good, not great, and the refresh doesn't even look good.

The legitimate thing to do is to go back and read the 5th gen refresh reveal thread from years back... you will see hating the refresh is a trend.

Never going to make all the Camaro fans happy , i loved the 2014 refresh yet it didn't go over well at first but was one of the highest selling years . I was happy to see the new hood and front end, plus got rid of the useless mail slot scoop was nice . Never has been a new generation or refresh that was accepted by all or most , the new 2019 Camaro is no different , just like everyone before it .

Yep, that damn bow tie placement and the black center section will never look right. Make the center section same color as the rest of the bumper cover (that's why the black car has a chance) and just move the bow tie to the upper grille.

Correct on the 6th gen reception that was/is weak because it is much to close to the 5th gen (not enough difference visually).... but it was good looking.
Yeah, now you can easily tell your looking at a 2019, but its no longer good looking.

That's the thing ,the 2019 is good looking and it is just as much of a Camaro as any before it,like it or not . People will buy and say they have the best looking Camaro ever and they will be as correct as you are about it ,although they will have the upper hand with the A10 . I was one who thought the Gen 6 looked to close to 5th Gen at first till i started seeing them in person and then seeing then side by side when you can see a huge difference .

A10 may be advanced and faster, but I could never drive a sports/performance car with an auto when a manual is available. Part of the fun and driving experience is working the clutch and shifter. It takes skill. Anyone can drive an auto and be fast. Computers are taking over everything, but at least you still have some control with a manual trans.

Keep dreaming! LMAO You think it is hideous and that's your opinion but don't think for a single minute that a 2017 or 18' will be in any demand after the 19's are out.

Maybe if the did something to the inside more people would like it.
A all digital dash would be nice. A little more room in the back seat would have done wonders.
