Weird, I wonder what the cause is. The a10 wasn’t a huge decrease but what’s the point in developing a new efficient transmission if it is going to lose mileage? I’m really interested in seeing what caused the drop in the manual’s numbers. What changed between the 18 and 19 manual camaros to account for such a decrease? The only thing I can think of is that hideous front end. Maybe it’s less aerodynamic and adds a ton of drag to the front end since it’s at highway speeds.

Love reading the comments on the Camaro re-fresh.....exactly like this forum when the 2018 Mustang came out!
Hideous! FUGLY! Fire the designer! What were they thinking! Glad I bought a 2018! Etc.
It will settle down just like on here.

I waited for both refreshes to make my desicion. I think both sides had bad refreshes. Admittedly the Mustang got hit with a nerf ugly stick while the Camaro got hit with a baseball bat with nails hammered through it. If the 2017 Mustang came with the a10, my decision would have been a lot harder to make.

Expand "Advantages" and well, I guess they were wrong!

Interesting. Both auto and manual cars suffer from the change to 2019MY. The auto loses 1MPG city and the manual loses 1MPG highway.

Mustang gained 1MPG in both city and highway 2017MY to 2018/19MY.

I call BS. Just wait for the cars to get into the hands of the actual drivers and we will see much better numbers!

Must have something to do with either more drag from the hideous redesign or more weight. Or both.

It might be slower. But it will turn into a robot. When its not pretending to be a bad refresh.

Are there any further informations how they got these numbers? Are they rounded? Then it could be 19.4 against 19.5 MPG.

I have no idea if this is something GM/Team Camaro focuses on, but I will tell you it is possible the real world numbers might be better. I only know a bit about the EPA MPG test, but can tell you it looks at a small operating window. Some manufacturers/program teams gamble and decide to focus on the real numbers that get reported, like in Consumers Report.

It’s possible. But I’m curious what the real word is.

As much as I enjoy giving the Camaro guys crap back when they come onto the Mustang forum, I gotta say I don't care.

I can't imagine why anyone considering a Camaro, Mustang or Challenger would care about fuel economy. At least not 1 or 2 mpg.

Moving the bow tie obviously caused it to be less aerodynamic along with adding to the fugly factor.

LOL!

You’ll have to ask the EPA, they conducted the tests.

BTW, some of you are taking this WAY too seriously.
