2019 Chevrolet Camaro Gets New Turbo 1LE Model, Revised Face

Hard to believe there is that much demand for this trim with this engine but I guess if they can just drop the 2.0T in the v6 1LE and charge more for something they already have the engineering done for, why not?

2.0t is probably easier to chip and modify. Add in the better weight balance and that's where the demand probably is coming from.

I do know that, personally, I'd rather the 2.0T than the V6. 

I just think it would be a little more fun modifying the small turbo motor. 

Not a fan of the new look, sort of has a Chrysler 200 vibe to the headlights, I think when the Gen 5 Camaro came out it looked good, and has gone down hill since with these refreshes.

I think you could drop the V6 in time, and maybe that is why they went with the 1LE on the turbo 4.  They could probably come out with a higher boosted four, the Mustang dropped it's V6 so it is possible.  If you want a track car though, less weight in the 4 makes sense for a 1LE and cheaper cost.

I don't hate it. It's okay. I like the idea of a 2.0T 1LE.

I  prefer the revised face.  Not that it makes a difference on how I feel about the 5th and 6th generation Camaro.  But I do prefer this face than all the other faces the Camaro has donned since the 5th generation that spilled unto the 6th gen. 

The black bumper one...Im on the fence. It reminds me of another car. I cant put my finger on what car it reminds me of. 

The body coloured bumper one is OK in my books.  Now if they could change the entire body line of the damned thing...

Those pseudo 1969 body lines that really dont look like 1969 Camaro have been with us for ever. its time to let go. I will admit, the 6th gen IS sleeker and nicer than the bulkier 5th gen. The 6th gen being a tad smaller is a plus too. But this style is old, stale and dated.  

If Im not buying the V8 version of this car. Any V8. Then Im buying the 2.0T.  So a 2.0T 1LE is welcomed in my world. 

Same with the Mustang. If I aint buying the V8 versions. Than the ecoboost is where Im at.

But the big bad Challenger is where Im at. Even if its older and staler than the Camaro.  

Truth be told though, Im ready for a new Challenger and a new Camaro. The Mustang is AWESOME!!!

The black bumper version reminds me of the '19 Silverado and the current Charger.  Of the 3 current coupes, I'd go for a Challenger..the styling appeals to me the most of the 3, it's the biggest inside, I like the interior and UConnect, and has a sunroof available, and I can see out of it better than the Camaro and Mustang.   With the Mustang, I would consider a convertible.       I drove Fox Mustangs for 15 years, but the current one just doesn't appeal to me that much...don't know why.   With any of them, I'd want a V8.  

Yes. Charger!

And now that you mentioned Silverado. I see it too!!! I just feel like I do NOT want to post a pic of the Silverado. I just ate delicious chicken wings and I want them to stay in my belly!

Here ya go!
 

Seriously, I was driving home from work today, alone & along some great back roads thru the woods, and I was pointedly thinking about the '19 Silvie. My 'new truck itch' is rearing it's head... but the depressing conversation I was having with myself is; 'Can't buy a '19; first year bugaboos. So it'd have to be a '20... but can't buy new; new vehicle depreciation.' So I have to wait until 2021 to buy a 1yr old 2020 SIlverado.

Fucking SIGH.

Just say no to the SS.....

With Camaro bringing out a model with a Turbo 4, the folks over at Jalopnik decided to do a review on the worst Camaro ever. The thrid generation 1982 4 banger with the Iron Duke.

https://jalopnik.com/chevrolets-first-four-cylinder-camaro-was-really-bad-1825128229

2019 has 275 HP versus 1982 has 90 HP.

2019 has 295 lb-ft versus 1982 had 132 lb-ft of Torque 

1982 had a 0 to 60 MPH of 20 seconds.  

I've had a second gen Camaro and two different 4th gens ('94 & '02).  I can honestly say the 5th gen did not appeal to me at all.  It still doesn't.  I really like the looks of the current 6th gen a lot, though.  I understand to a lot of people they look very similar to the 5th gen that I'm not too fond of but I guess they made just the right changes for me.  This refreshed version?  Maybe the looks will grow on me.  Not awful but not better looking than the current car.

The nice part right now is all three automakers are making great pony cars (yes, I know the Challenger is not a true pony so I use the term loosely) so you really can't go wrong with any of them.  They all have some very desirable attributes.  While I would gladly own any of them, due to me having kids and needing a usable back seat, a Challenger Scat Pack would be an easy choice for me.  Seating configuration not a concern, it would be the current Camaro instead.  I like the Mustang and wouldn't mine owning one but I just like the other two a bit better.  Maybe it is because I grew up in a GM household and Ford was our main competition?

Even the 2875 lb curb weight (!!!!!) couldn't help 132 lb-ft of TRQ.

That'd be like powering the Camaro with the 1.4t from the Cruze and giving it a CVT!

Yep, and it's getting harder for them to justify them still being here as well. And one of the major reasons is that they are priced way too high for most normal folks to buy. KInda like the Vette, but at least we can justify it. GM (with the others to follow) need to get these into the hands of the younger crowd to enjoy. Offer some fun lower models...heck-start leasing them a bit more. 

I just saw the Dodge has theirs going for 169 a month here for theirs-and I've noticed quite a few more of them. People need to see (or just remember) how fun these cars are. We don't have to go back to the F&F era, just get people to realize these are way more fun than tide pods....
