I think my stinger is up there with beautiful sedans, but I don't think it's number one. I like the Panamera more. I think the Audi A/S5 sportback is beautiful, possibly about the same. The current BMW 4 series grand coupe and audi 7? Nope, don't like those at all. Don't care if they are more expensive or not. Same with the Mercedes "CL" cars, don't care for those either.
Yeah, sure. But it's all just your opinion. I'm sure people who bought those cars fully disagree. Style is completely subjective. In the case of the Camaro the changes are really so minor overall that's it's actually just splitting hairs. Again just IMO.

IMO the 2019 changes to the front were drastic, while the rear taillight and bumper change was very tangible but not drastic, both enough to inform my decision not to consider an upgrade. Style is indeed subjective to a large degree, but absolute stylistic qualities such as consistency or lack thereof are also undeniable.

Couldn’t agree more. I wasn’t interested at all in the Gen 4 or 5 Camaros, I went Mustang back then. But, when the refresh Gen 6 was released, I started rethinking getting a Camaro.

I might be one of the few, but I actually really like the 2019 and wish I could have found a low mileage one when I was in the market to buy.

2019 is definitely the 'value' buy, as it's just as capable and arguably, more rare coupled with the fact that it seems like the general public (myself included) didn't like it as much, therefore slightly better used prices..

The 21-24 SS front end has grown on me a lot (I own a 22 SS 1LE). I prefer the rest of the 19+. I wish I had homelink.

Also I wish I had the 2SS rear view camera on my 1SS. I feel the 16-18 tail end is dated looking, and the front end is looking dated too.

I'm not implying anything about the 2019, but rarity doesn't automatically give a car coolness points - see the Murano Crosscabriolet. If anyone prefers the 2020+ you can swap that bumper center piece onto a 2019.

I currently own a 1969 Camaro and a 2019 Camaro. I have owned 6 Camaros including 1st gen, 2nd gen, and 3rd gen. I actually purchased the 2019 SS in Riverside Blue because I thought it looked more aggressive than the prior years 6 gens. I do not think the other 6 gens are ugly, the 2019 just appealed to me more. To each his own indeed.

Same thing happened to me. I had a 16 SS. I still think it’s a great looking car, but I agree that it looks dated now. It looked too close to the 14/15 Camaro.

I like all years of the 6th gen, but the 2019 SS was my least favorite. I would still buy one if the deal/spec was right.

Man, you guys are way more brutal than the '10-'13 vs '14, '15 Gen 5 battle. I wasn't a huge fan of the '20+ but I've been "casually" window shopping for a Gen 6 SS 1LE and the newer mug is starting to grow on me.

I definitely prefer the '10-'13 vs '14-'15. And when they were still selling them I preferred the '14-'15 back then... funny how tastes change.

The '20+ are the best looking 6th gens by far IMO.
