First gray 2019 Camaro SS video in outside lighting

Some cars look better in pictures, some look better on video and some look better in real life. This still feels like a 2018 Accord+Dodge Charger Lovechild with that front end.

Meh, it could be worse. If someone handed me the keys and said it’s yours I’d be happy to drive it.

Everybody is shitting on that front end, but I think the grill does okay with the body-colored strip to break it up. I don’t think blacking it out does any favors unless the car is all black.

I did a quick edit to see if choosing all black hides the ugly. I am sure someone can do a better Photoshop but the mess of shapes still stands out

I want to see a yellow one because that is surely going to be the messiest color on these ugly mofos.

I don’t know what it is, but the bowtie placement bugs the shit out of me.

Honestly, I think that’s mostly what it is. If they move the bowtie to the upper grille opening, it will look much better. Maybe one of our photoshop gurus can accommodate.

Move. The. Bowtie. Up. 3. Inches.

That’s literally all they needed to do.

04/17/2018 at 15:34

If you have a moment, can you please relocate the bowtie to the upper grille opening? I think that would help a ton.

Arrivederci > KingT- 60% of the time, it works every time
04/17/2018 at 15:36

I think it looks fine in the glossy black, but that bowtie just needs to move up to the upper grille opening. Hopefully that’s an easy fix for new owners.

I’m just wondering where the front plate goes.... offset? Blocking the lower grille? Or blocking the Bowtie like on early 4th gens?

This is not good. I actually kind of like the cleaned up taillights but that nose is way too concept car.

The bow tie is all wrong. :/

And why don’t they just stick SS on there instead?!?!?!

Looks fine to me, modern cars are all a mess. How people condemn this but praise something like the LC500 confuses the hell out of me.

Please list all new cars that you would refuse to drive if someone handed you the keys and said, “it’s yours”.

Probably has a bracket that mounts a plate holder to the grille like my Audi. Pretty slick too - leaves no trace once you remove it.

See my other replies here. Someone on the FP post about the 2019 Camaro already did that.

Yeah, I saw that, but would like it with the panel still black.

C’mon the LC500 is a well-executed design despite the busy elements. Did you say people who hate the new Camaro should hate this thang?

Perfect opportunity for aftermarket to fix that mess.

While I think that is a good picture of it, I do not think it is a good looking car. I’m saying to each their own, both cars are equally meh.

Wow that’s very close. I am surprised Chevy was not Charged with plagiarism. Looks like they Dodged a bullet there.

The Camaro has 50% more “grill” than the LC.

IMHO chevy looks like they’re out of ideas where Lexus tried to do something different.

Definitely worse. And man, those body cuts on the fender are terrible... (same as they were).

Danimalk - Drives a Slow Car Fast > Milky

I’m not a big fan of this Camaro either, but Lexus has tried SO MANY spindle grills from (ES to CT to LS) that there is no way it is doing “something different” on the LC.

The LC is just the one they finally got right is all.

BeaterGT > Danimalk - Drives a Slow Car Fast
04/17/2018 at 16:35

Exactly, all in the eye of the beholder. The LC grill just seems like another compromised attempt at a spindle grill to me. Even the rear looks like a copy of the FT-1 concept gone wrong. At the end of the day, it’s just another random opinion from a person on the internet :)

Milky > Danimalk - Drives a Slow Car Fast
04/17/2018 at 16:40

I’d argue that the LC looks right because the rest of the design is finally wild enough to match. Its cohesive. The grill is large, but its not the entire front end with a crash bar sticking out from it.
