Hot Or Not: 2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE

If you don’t find the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro a good looking vehicle, chances are you won’t be a fan of the 2017 Camaro 1LE. Thankfully, we think the sixth-generation Camaro’s design is quite good, and we’re sure you do, too.

However, there are a few pieces here to differentiate the 2017 Chevy Camaro 1LE from a more standard 2016 Camaro. And we think those few pieces really help the 2017 Camaro 1LE come into its own. Foremost, the satin-black hood returns for the sixth-generation of the 1LE, and it plays quite well with the concept Krypton Green color on the V6-powered 1LE. We do wish Chevrolet would have showed the SS 1LE in a color other than black to help the hood pop. But, that’s picking nits.

Other than the satin-black hood, the front splitter and minor rear spoiler help set the 1LE apart, however, aerodynamics aren’t significantly improved from these enhancements, which we find as a bit of a bummer. The brake calipers also see a neat touch with 1LE branded logos for the V8-powered cars.

Still, the design is alive and well, and the 1LE treatment looks good, if not better, than it did when it graced the fifth-generation 1LE. However, it’s your turn to speak. Tell us in our poll: is the Camaro 1LE hot, or not? Vote in our poll and do talk to us in the comment section below.

  1. Love the shorter rear spoiler on the SS. Smart move on the 1LE package on the RS.

  2. The rear spoiler looks so much better. The std SS spoiler looks like a terrible afterthought and should have been swapped with the V6 model spoilers. Love the wider wheels and tires. The matte black hood not so much.

  4. Better spoiler. I prefer the RS spoiler to the SS spoiler anyways.
    Like the different wheels.

    I liked the Gen 5 LE for being still a sleeper as compared to the ZL1…this looks closer to a ZL than Gen 5 did, so one can only imagine what the ZL1 will look like, stance wise, wheel wise, and price wise.
