That's this entire thread. Instead of having a conversation about the 2019, it's an echo chamber of everyone saying what they have is best.

I didn't notice these pics in the thread yet http://www.autospies.com/news/SPIED-...fferent-96373/

I believe the 2019 returns to being a good modern interpretation of traditional design - a vast improvement over the 2016-18.

In this entire thread, this was the ONLY good comment about the 2019 styling.

There was vicious bashing of the 2016 when it was introduced, then several of those forum members quietly traded for 6th generation models.

Happens everytime a new generation comes out in all car forums, sometimes its just a shock of the new model, but most times the backlash is for a reason.

The 5th gen camaro in this case started off super aggressive , edgy and then got even better with the ZL1 and later the Z28. They were posturing themselves as a domestic supercar , and now they are just watering it down to perhaps get more female/hippie buyers.

Sad really

Oh they’ll trade and the more bells and whistles? The more undependable it’ll be in the long run

I’ll never own a 6th gen. If this one ever goes it’ll be something else like a Corvette or AMG. Maybe another Porsche.

Saw a blue SS coupe and red SS vert in person today for the first time.

No good, it looks just as bad (or worse) up close.

The 2019 Camaro proves that "Change for changes sake" is not a good thing.

Glad they are toning down the front. It seems with each year, they were adding more and more grill.

The V6 version has a better looking front fascia than the SS and the 1LE V6 sells were poor so I can't believe they're making it possible on the 4 cyl

Is there any extra cost to GM making the 1LE package available on all models vs. only the SS? I doubt it. I always wondered why it wasn't available on the lighter V6 of the 5th gen.

Some people prefer handling more than power. Look at all the small, light sports cars that sell well.

It is kind of a niche market, most people prefer the smoother ride and lower costs of a stock Camaro vs. a 1LE.
