2018 looks so much better, especially the side profile of the front. I had the RS 2LT Convertible in blue. Beautiful.
I agree with you! I appreciate your input and thank you for watching!
2018 looks so much better
Thank you for sharing your input and for watching!
damn right
I bought a 2018 in Sept 2017 my dog and I love it only neg. I get 12-13 mpg city but 31-33 from LA to Denver
Big Facts!
I know right the 19 models tail lights are so so ugly
lol "to the side" I dont think they have changed the side of the Camaro since 2010. not complaining tho, the side profile is legendary
So very right! They did get rid of the three fake vents that were right in front of the rear wheels.
They reversed the side indents too & raised the quarter seam.
2019 Camaro, front just looks as a new Honda Accord, no Wonder the 19 ZL1 the front still the same...
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
The fuck is wrong with you DD? Reading comprehension and social interaction arent your things? You sound like a fucking 12 year old.
Just about everyone here thinks the 2018 looks better. No need to be a bigot over an ugly ass front end if you dont agree.
The vertical running lights on the 18 make it look more aggressive. 18 RSs look way better in person than in videos, especially with quad exhaust. The 19 RS definitely looks like an entry level car. But the rear lights are very nice.
Thank you for sharing those great view points! I really appreciate it!
im nervous because im going to get camaro tomorrow . and i dont know anything
The 2019 ss looks soo much better
More side by side comparisons like this please.
I'm fascinated with the year on year changes, something unique to US car culture.
I'm loving those 'safecracker' air vents, and the great camera moves by BGM avoiding the background lurkers.
Just a few things of note:
1.) The black bowtie is optional on both cars and is a dealer installed option (mine has the gold bowties but on the window sticker it says it was optioned with black ones)
2.) The gauge cluster system is IDENTICAL in both. The 2018 simply has the system in a different mode. As someone who owns a 2017 2SS, I have experienced both layouts on my car (although you do have to dig through the menus to find it).
3.) One big difference between them is that the 2019 does NOT have Homelink whereas the outgoing 18 does
4.) The 2018 Camaro has an A8 transmission as opposed to the 2019’s A10
Very good points! Thank you for letting me share this one with you!
Hold up! 40k for a v6? Gtfoh!
Prices just keep going up and up!
@@sleepysleeper6390 without taxes
Dealership by me has a 2018 2SS for 41k out the door. I see the V6’s between 25-30k

Ben Chesterman it’s brand new www.chevroletofjerseycity.com/VehicleDetails/new-2018-Chevrolet-Camaro-2dr_Cpe_2SS-Jersey_City-NJ/3186068923
Thank you, what an amazing video, i really appreciate the effort you put, but i wanna ask about transmission, is it both A8 ? And is the problem with that transmission in 2018 or only 2016/2017 ?
You are so very welcome! Yes they are.
The digital display in the center that you mentioned was different from the ‘18 to the ‘19 is actually just a theme that can be changed through the menus straight from the display itself.
Thank you for the extra input and perspective!
2018 looks better to be honest!
I can totally understand that!
I agree mostly. I like the grill inserts but overall dont like the front end as much, esp how it looks with non black cars.
I crashed my new 2018 RS and got back into a new 2019 RS and I definitely like the 2019 better. The 3LT has an illuminated black bow tie in the front that is just so crisp. I actually got to keep the 2018 RS rims and slapped them on the 2019, looks great. Went electric blue to gunmetal blue with red stripes
@Raiti’s Rides the Camaro center gauge area is configurable on theme. The differences in setup you pointed out aren’t new. The 2018 can have the same look as the 2019 you showed.
Thank you fo much for that extra info! I really appreciate your help!
Is the roof more spacious if there isn’t a sun roof ?? I test drove a 2019 2LT but can’t compare to one with sun roof
Not a Chevy guy but I feel the 2019 looks better
Thanks for sharing I really appreciate you watching!
I like both, but the '19 changes you pointed out I agree with. Front end looks awesome especially including that black bowtie. Do they have the Blazer yet??
Not yet, but as soon as I get my hand on one I will be bringing it to you! Thanks for watching!
Blazer is out and another miss with camaro front end treatment. Overall looks like a 4 door camaro in CUV form. What a let down for a storied nameplate!
Hey Joe! Compton 221 is right, we could loose the Camero again. It looks like it's a sure thing we're going to lose the GM plant up here in Oshawa Ont. Some sad days coming for some car makers, it just doesn't seem right
That is really terrible news. Let's hope that something changes!
Just sharing a few thing.. the 2018 Camaro Rs is available in a black bow tie. It’s called the Black Bow tie edition. The gears and digital display are similar to the 2019. Maybe the 2018 that was compared was not the premium level.. Idk. I wasn’t sure about the rear view visibility but it turns out great. The 2018 is available in electronic blue and the combination with black is amazing. Definitely a head turner everywhere I go!
Thanks for your great input and perspective!
You are right! Cluster was just set with a different display mode, they are exactly the same.
Awesome job thx for comparison, nice! You should put a best of zonks and non zonks reviews, what say you? Thx Joe and Tom
You are so very welcome. We are going to be getting something like that together!
Good side by side comparision.
Cheers
Thanks Lin that means a lot!
Great vid! The black bow tie is an option; still gold by default ugh (at least on the 18, maybe they got smart on the 19) 👍
Very good point! Thank you so much for the extra info!
Does the new rs 2020 have more cabin space than the 2018 model? It looks like the improved the inside a little bit
You're wrong about the speedometer being completely different. 2016 - 2019 Camaros (with the digital speedometer) all have changeable speedometer themes within the settings and both can look like the "technology theme" found in the 2018 Camaro in this video or the taditional theme found in the 2019 Camaro.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Definitely a step forward. Love the comparison video. Not a newer camaros fan and definitely prefer the mustang but camaro is still a great option. I don't have a lot of complaints or salt for the newer camaros because the price tag seems very fair for what you are getting. Could they had done more? Definitely, but I understand they are trying to keep it at a certain price.
Thank you for voicing your great points!
Do you think a convertible would negate the claustrophobic feel a bit?
100%, my wife and I rented one on a trip to San Diego and it was great. With the top up though it was terrible!
The cluster is the same you just change it in the settings.
Thanks for your input I really appreciate you watching!
I agree with you with the back. The tail lights looks a little more cooler now they should just get red of the horizontal line. And the Rs logo is still on the bottom.
I hate where they place the RS logo.
Thanks for the content I love to watch your videos it makes me more into auto world.
Really appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Man the video you made about the mclaren was awesome I really enjoyed it.
I am so glad that I could share it with you!
I pity the fool that don’t like my gold bow tie. 😂
One of the best comments ever! Thanks for watching!
😂😂👍🏽
Mine has gold bow tie! 2016 Stick RS. Lol
Camaro's pony war is with itself.I love the Mr T reference
I really appreciate you saying that!
@ Raiti's Rides Did they take off the fog lights in RS models from 2019?
Yes they did.
@@RaitisRides Thanks man.. By any chance do you know if we can install one?
2010-2013 model years is still my favorite by far. Nothing after has looked as good or stood out as much.
Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
I agree for the exterior but the interior is a big no for me. I just wish they could take the gen 5 exterior, put the gen 6 interior and make the absolute perfect car 😓
Like the new intro for your videos. As usual good review. Keep it up.
That is so awesome of you to say! Thank you so much for your support!
I have those gages in my 2018 you just have to scroll through settings
The interiors of the ‘18 and ‘19 are identical including the DIC, the different layouts shown are just skins and can be changed between a few preset skins. Only difference is the MyLink system being updated
Thank you for the extra info and input! I appreciate you watching!
I do like the 2019 better. My all time favorite Camaro is the 2nd generation. Thanks, Joe.......
You are so very welcome! I really love Camaros!
Another great review. I like how you see design mistakes and how GM could've improved the look of 19 Camaro.
That really means a lot! Thank you so much!
You dont see the challenger having these kinds of problems.
That is a very good point!
Challenger been the same since 2008 it just got three different Interiors.
Plus the chassis is older then that! Very good point!
It’s 11 years old and the rt competes with a camaro v6 no competition for the ss.
marufio g Challengers is a straight away car. It’s ok. It is no Camaro
Depends who you ask. I bought a 2019 LT and love it.
At the end you actually explained exactly why the Mustang is better to me. The Mustang keeps the old school looks mixed with today's looks with the interior and stays true to its heritage. The Mustang build # badge on the inside along with the better visibility, Racaro seats, Shaker sound system and exhaust control. Even flipping different switches for certain controls.
You totally hit the nail on the head! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Good reviews, you got a few things wrong though.
#1. They haven't been tweaking the design since 2010, the Camaro line was completely redesigned for the 2016 year. Including changing the entire platform to the Alpha platform.
#2. The 2018 is a 2LT trim level and the 2019 is a 3LT trim level. So both in this video are LT trim level's with RS packages (there is no such thing as an RS trim level or an RS performance package. RS is just an appearance package)
#3. On the 2018 you can get it with a Black Bow tie on the front and rear.
#4. The 2019 Camaro is basically identical other than the computer(2018 has the IO5 or IO6 computers, 2019 has the IOT or IOR for the infortainment), the rims, front and rear other than that it's the same car. (there is a rumored 7th gen in the works that apparently is going to be more like the Mustang in the sense that there will be better visibility)
#5. The word "Camaro" wasn't made up as a mustang eater. In 1966 and 1967 when the Camaro was being prepared to get released, it was originally called "The Panther" but the name was changed because other Chevrolet flagship vehicles like the Chevelle and Corvette started with a "C". So they thought it should too. The Mustang eater thing is a great tag line though.
#6. You said the gauges are different. You can go into the settings on the 2018 and make it look like the 2019 does, or go into the 2019's settings and make it look like the 2018. It's just a gauge setting in the software. Nothing at all has changed.
I appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thank yo for watching!
RS has the chrome strips in grill on 2018s. The 2019 LT front end, the bottom of grille over body color & flat black will get beat to s_it with the sun, dressing will only make it worse over time. The 16 to 18s are well protected from sun damage. Clear tail lights look like goggles & also will yellow over time.
Thanks for sharing your great points!
The 2019 should've come out before the 2016, then it would be less controversy. The 2016 looks more modern. Might be time to scrap the entire design. Imo
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Lol so true
Good video. Love me some Camaro eye candy. Personally I'm not a fan of the new grill on the 2019 LS LT line it literally reminds me of a large mouth bass and it drives me nuts i can't get that out of my mind. But the 2019 hood is pretty bad ass I will say and I'm surprised you didn't point that difference out. Also regarding the instrument dash, actually it gives you three options to change the display style. You can change the 2018 to the same style you showed on the 2019.
Thank you so much for sharing your great points and input! I really appreciate you watching!
The 18 looks better hopefully they fix it for 2020
AGREED!
they made it worse
@@contentdeleted1755 😂
For the 2019 just add some mods. Front splitter, side skirts and a nice spoiler and boom. BEAST🥴😍
That 2019 is the best by far
I am so glad that you liked this one! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Raiti's Rides it just looks more like a muscle car with that new rs grill
You hit the nail on the head!
Great video, very good points made about the RS Badging and brakes
Thank you so much Jesus for watching!
I am so glad I bought a 2018, I like the front end look SO much better and mine is BLACK on BLACK so it fits the blacked out RS wheels.
I agree looks better than the 2019-2023
Do you have an Instagram bro I'm curious to see what your car looks like, I have a black 2018 RS too
@@glusur76 I dont but I can send you a couple when I get off work.
Shoutout to the local. I take my Camaro to that dealer for maintenance. Thought it looked familiar
Thanks for taking the time to say that! Maybe I will run into you one day!
Though I am not a Camaro fan, you made an excellent comparison between the 2018 and 2019 models. I agree with your opinions about them.
I really appreciate you saying that Wayne! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment1
40k???? I got my 2018 RS brand new for 24k. 40k is a rip off, you might as well get the SS for that price.
Thanks for your input and perspective and for watching!
40 cause they are 2lt with leather options and V6. Base model LS with RS package is way below that. Learn your trims before commenting.
Justin Désilets anyone that pays 40k for a v6 base model is an idiot whether it’s RS package or not. regardless of package leather etc...MSRP price for a 2019 SS starts at 37k... so think about what you say before replying :)
@@brandonperkins2877 you should do the same:) this one is fully optioned with the leather option (kalahari) as well as the convenience and lighting package, which is not possible on the 1SS. You need to get the 2SS and its MSRP is 44.5k. So for someone who doesn't want the V8 (like me, I got the 2.0T), the difference is appreciable. Have fun going through the build & price on chevy's website, and please come back tell me I was right :)
Justin Désilets like I said I don’t understand what you’re not getting about what I’m saying. A v6 isn’t worth 40k dude ..if you’re gonna spend 40k you might as get more for your buck. Chevy rips off by selling a v6 for $40k when a simple engine upgrade in the 1SS is basically cheaper than that. Like it’s about worth here. But hey you spend $40k on an RS lol you’re the one wasting your money.
two thumbs up, Joe. I like the 2018 model just a little bit more. But! Being an old school type of guy, I'll stay with the Mustang. Keep em' comin'!
Thanks Paul! I am going with the 2018 as well. To be honest I rather have a 2014 Z/28! You now I will!
Excellent review raiti they just keep getting better and better.
Thank you so much Matt for saying that! I really appreciate it!
Wished 19 Camero RS had fog lights, would look much better. Fog lights are a must for me for any new cars/trucks
Another great review keep up the great work!!
Thank you Juan for watching! I really appreciate your support!
Excellent video Joe! I like the Camaro but not being able to see out of the back would be a deal breaker for me. I have a 2012 Nissan 370Z that I love to drive but I do wish I could see a little better out of the back especially when backing out of a parking spot or when making a turn in a parking lot where I have to check for oncoming traffic. Keep up the great work! 😎👍
Thanks for you great feedback and perspective! I really appreciate your kind words!
I have a 2016 Camaro. I love the Visibility in it. Its law for any new cars to have a back camera, those are 100% better then looking out any back window also you pay a little more and get the line change camera also.
They severely messed up the SS... the RS is ok.. not good but ok
I totally agree with you! Thank you so much for watching!
Omg I got a heart! I feel so loved
I actually prefer the 19 over the 18 now
I'm glad my review helped. I appreciate your input!
The 2019 front end looks best with the black color scheme...The 2019 clear tail lights look great with the black color scheme
Enjoyed watching this one Joe. Not much between them although the 2019 grille looks better I think. The placement of the RS badge remains really odd.
Thank you so much for watching and I totally agree with you!
Good presentation. Let's give this man over 400 thumbs up.
That really means a lot!
Like you said the more I see the new tail lights my opinion also changes on them they don't look as bad as I thought and now seeing them side by side they don't look incredibly different. With this video you have me feeling good about the 2019. Both of these cars look great, but I'm still a long life Mustang guy. Awesome video Joe and Tom you guys always do great highlighting these awesome cars!!!
You hit on some really great points Dylan! Thanks for your continued support!
All you have to do is order the SS emblem from year one or eBay and get rid of the bow tie that's what I would do if I owned those cars
Very good suggestion!
You know what Chevy should do to help mitigate the low viability in the rear? Make the rear-view mirror a camera. Not a reflection of what is behind you but an actual video of what is behind you. Would help tremendously.
That is a REALLY good idea!
Raiti's Rides That is an option on the 2019, with the exception of the ZL1 1LE.
You get yourself a 2019 V6,335 horse power for only 30,000 that’s really good for a sports car.
Ikr plus u could negotiate
EXPOSUREVIDEO Totally bro American care rule bro. Cameros hall ass
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Very true!
Yes they do!
Be happy what you have! Some people don't have that. I'm happy with my 2019 RS, and not worried about a damn light design..
Exactly
Bruh the screen in the gauge cluster is customizable so you can have 3 different styles in the center...
Thanks for. that great info Jose!
@@RaitisRides yeah sure thing if you have any questions about Chevy products I'm here to help
I have a 2019 camaro rs all blacked out and it looks pretty nice and sounds good don’t get me wrong 2018 is also nice though🔥
Thanks for sharing your input from your ownership!
When I keep looking closer it looks like a bmw i8 in the front the of the new RS. What a shame. I wish they could make a remake, but it’s already to late to complain. I seen some 2019 Camaro it looks pretty cool when it actually drives .
I can totally see where you are coming from! Thanks for sharing your input!
The Bowtie on the 2019 looks a little out of place. Chevrolet should have placed it in the center of the grille. The RS should have fog lights on the lower grille area. The 2019 RS fascia looks better than the 2019 SS front fascia.
I appreciate your input and thank you for watching!
2018 looks better
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
The interior of the 2019 looks pretty cool still.
I like it overall, especially the AC vents!
They both have the exact same interior
The SS would look good without all that blackout. The 19 RS looks better than the SS. The SS1LE looks better as a 19.
Very good points sir!
Can't decide which one to get soon, 2019 will lose value in just a few years. I can get a 2018 RS for $22k and a 2019 RS for $30k. The SS is just way to pricey for me right now so no V8 sadly.
I can totally understand where you are coming from!
Perfect car : Front Grill 2018 with Tail lights 2019
The front 2019 it's horrible looks like mustang ecoboost I do not like it for nothing, the best Of this it's 2016 to 2018
Thanks for your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Gotta LOVE the 2019, sporty & bad ass tail lights!
I appreciate your input and thank you for watching!
the 19 are ugly
If it’s 40k it’s prob the 3LT with all the options, minus the convertible top
CC shape tail lights. Look nice on a CC.
2019 was the end product of the pre production model in transformers back in 2013z
That is very true!
All they had to do was make a model without all the unnecessary electronics and put the V8 in it. It would sell the price wouldn’t be so outrageous. For 40 grand you can get a 2012 ZL1 or hec a nice 2012 SS for about 20k. 400hp for 20k is a deal
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
The screen is the same u have to go in and change the settings
Good video. Keep reviewing and zonking and maybe next year there’ll be even more changes. Chevy has to save some for 2020.👍
Thanks for you really amazing support!
That 2019 looks hideous next to that 2018
I have the 2018 RS In Black. I hate the front of the 2019. If they produce Camaro’s similar to the 2019 only in the future, I’ll be sticking with the older ones then. Maybe that or I’ll convert to a Challenger, hahaha.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
I happen to like the gold bowtie in some cases but I do prefer the rounder tail lights where I zonk the car in both cases is the engine it should be a V8 maybe not the big one but there is the 5.3 they should put in there as for the sun roof they should not offer it at all on the Camero some cars do have a place for that option but a performance car it dose not belong
I can totally understand where you are coming from!
Does buddy not know that you can change the way the dash looks and that the cars have different options
The front of the base model is Ok but the 4 cylinder engine is still weak, they should have upgraded it or put the new 2.7T. They messed up the SS front, and should have rated the engine at 460/465 to keep up with the Mustang, the we're protecting the Corvette and that sucks for us that can't afford one, I dive a 2017 V6 and I'm in love with it, the 2.0T is worthless to me if the Base model Mustang makes more power and torque. Also the 1LE package is cool but is also worthless, very few owners will take their cars to the track, they should have focused on straight speed because this car handles pretty well already on that Alpha platform. The Camaro is now even behind the Challenger on sales, I don't know wtf is Chevy doing.
I totally feel the same way! It will be curious how this is going to pan out!
dude 2019 looks fucking good though
I appreciate your input and thank you for watching!
Definitely not diggin the Dodge front. I swear it looks like a Charger
I blacked out everything on my 2013 ZL1. Definitely don’t like chrome or the gold bowtie. They should have stayed with the ZL1 1LE look.
I totally agree with you! I love the look of the ZL1 1LE! Thanks for watching!
The charger looks way better imo
It's great to have options!
@@RaitisRides when i say the charger looks better, I'm saying it looks better than the rs
Mancattan oh I’m with you on this. The Charger looks way better then this RS
Without having watched the videos I’m looking forward to the number of times joe says zonk lol
You freaking crack me up! Thanks for watching!
that roof line is too low, I feel like I'm suffocating in there
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Not if you are 5-8 tall lol. I just bought mine 2018 RS
With the showstopper interior on the mustang they put red stitching all over the interior so the Mustang,does have it if you want to pay for it LOL
I love that interior on the Mustang!
Nice job as always!
I really appreciate you taking the time to say that!
They gave it it's top grill back. Before that it was just a slot. And sales were down.
Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Love the 2018 design thou. Woooot woooot!
Camaro was choosing aesthetics and European feel which people were enjoying they now went to a more meaner look which people had become accustomed to the aesthetics look
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
The 2019 looks more aggressive which what i like !
Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Raiti's Rides no problem man . We would love to hear the RS exhaust and drive review soon . That would be awesome .
