I actually think the black with the fangs down would look good.

Do you have a photoshop with the car and its regular fangs that don't go all the way down?

Up here in Canada believe it or not a brand new 2017 SS still on the lot

$45K. Plus for you USA guys that’s 25% off as well on the money. Deduct about $11.5 K. Around $33.5 K USA. That’s probably still high for u guys.

in regards to the 911, I'm in somewhat agreement with BuckeyeROC and I'm a Porsche Nut (I've owned five 911s). The 911 started out as a small lightweight powerful sportscar. It has become a Bloated Expensive Tourer (except in GT2 or GT3 Modes where it is just bloated)

Different strokes for different folks. My point is that the 911 is and has always been successful. It's a timeless design that manages to succeed without changing its overall shape. Yes, much bigger, but you know what it is as soon as you see it.
I happen to like the big phat azz of the new ones. Lol

Would be cool for the 7th gen Camaro to have a classy, aggressive look that immediately is recognizable as a Camaro, not a transformer or a Charger or a space ship or a joker or anything else.

So, the front facia is TWO piece from the factory?

Correct. A Camaro SS cost $10K more than a Mustang GT and requires premium fuel, an automatic 20% increase in operational cost.

I got a 2018 RS instead of an SS because paying 40% more in operating costs (20% fuel + 20% less mpg) was not worth saving an extra second 0-60. Plus the SS models come with a lot of options I don't need. My RS only has 5 options: RS package, V6, 8 speed auto, sunroof and block heater.

The blind spots can be completely eliminated by setting the side mirrors properly (so that no part of car is visible in them, and using small convex mirrors). Most people can't or won't set their mirrors that way so to them, the Camaro outward visibility is poor.

Chevy needs to repackage their model lines to be more price competitive.

It's still not enough. They need to hack off those fangs.

Hats off to the Camaro engineers for producing such a great driving and performing car. Too bad they have to work the the design and marketing groups who have their heads up their rears.

JCunningham · 10-25-2018, 12:46 AM

thats all they need to do is put the bow tie in the upper grill and it will look fine.

Looking at the 19, I was so glad I was still able to get an 18 this week that was optioned out exactly like I wanted. I agree with the masses, that 19 front end is just not good looking at all.

The citation that article provided was to a 3rd party GM news website which says “It’s said that it’s being fast tracked for production.”

Who said?

Buy them at the right time and the prices are the same

My new 2015 Mustang GT 6A was 32,000
My new 2018 1SS A8 was 31,050

I'll say this , the Camaro is just a nicer car all around ..
