2019 Zl1 is unchanged, thankfully.
Just went all out and configured a 2ss 1LE for 53.5K anyway. Chose black to hide the ugly mug.

That black one really does look pretty good. These cars are pretty awesome, they should sell better than they do.

They’re not, and I am not sure if the 2019 styling update is going to be helping the SS at least.

Yup, really similar to what happened back in the F-body days. The Camaro and Firebird were outsold by the Mustang 2 to 1, even though it outperformed it in just about every way.
The current Camaro is a better overall performer but selling in 3rd place. The sitting in a bathtub bunker view, overall packaging and slightly higher price has done a lot against the Camaro.
I never thought the old Dodge Challengersaurus could outsell the newest platform of the 3 on the market, but it does.
I’m worried if this continues, they may end Camaro production like that did years ago. The Mustang now has the international market where they also sell well regardless of what happens in North America.

A Camaro knocking on the door of 50K is probably part of the reason they don’t sell more.

Perhaps convertible is a solution but I don’t like them either.I was not in the market for both this and the Mustang but if I were, absolute deal breaker for me, even if the handling, looks(2016-2018) and interior execution is better.

I don’t hate they look of the new RS, although the fifth generation is still the best looking modern Camaro

I wanted
the 2.0T 1LE, but it’s not available with the “
rear visibility package”
pictured on the 1SS above :(

The 2.0T 1LE looks the best, for sure. The smaller grille hides how tall the front of the car is, and the badge is positioned properly.
That said...

hen even the configurator shows how
massive
that blindspot is, you know it’s time to buy a Mustang instead :P

The one thing I will say is that unlike any gen of F-bodies from 67 to 02, the A lpha p latform is shared . Which will probably morph into whatever the new CTS replacement is. So that is a positive. Before it didn’t make sense to keep a single car platform. If they can keep it progressing with cadillac there is a chance GM will just keep it even if it’s a low seller.

True, though the CTS & ATS aren’t selling all that great as well. But I think Cadillac is dedicated to keeping sedans going, so hopefully it will be enough to keep the Camaro around for the long haul.

See! this is why I don’t like convertibles. They make my head look small!

I’ll just take a GT in Need for Green, with the Performance Pack and Recaros.
