Not much of a facelift....from the front end, seems to be just painting the horizontal grille-bar body color instead of black, and moving the bow-tie logo up a little. It does, however, IMO, make the front end look a little nicer.

At first comparing those two photos was a bit like one of those quizzes in a magazine to spot the differences, i was

Literally my exact same thoughts.

I hate the mail slot windows on these cars.

pretty much the only camaro i've ever wanted was the 1969

a 1989 iroc-z would also be cool but that'd just be more for the l0lz

You're all too kind. This is a disgrace for GM. Having to do an emergency facelift on an iconic car is a major expense for a company and a huge failure in my book. These mishaps rarely happen in the industry and are a pure sign of incompetence. Either too much free rein with the designers, too much drinking, too much inexperience, too much personal bias, too many consumer clinics, or a combination of several. Pathetic day for GM.

We are two for two in the past seven days. First the Highlander looses it's gaping mouth and now the Camaro. Maybe we are finally turning the corner on the massive mouths.

Finally! At least some automakers are getting sick and tired of those “holes” or grilles in front, whatever you want to call them, and actually starting to make normal looking front ends again.

Still Ugly!

I sat in the 2019 one at the Auto Show - basically a death trap, impossible to see out of it.
Corvette has much better visibility even.

Better, but still dont care for any Camaro. They were just following the big grill trend that every automaker thinks they must have.

I think I like the "emergency facelift", but I probably would still go Mustang. Seems like it'd be so much easier to live with and is more attractive. Also it has that wiz-bang configurable digital gauge cluster which I love.

The Camaro SS is a fun car though, no doubt. I have a former coworker with a pre-refresh one (with a manual transmission) that he loves. It sounds so mean.
