Going to go ahead and repost this..originally from Skank.

There is absolutely no design relationship between the backend of the Camaro and this new C7 back end. There is only one thing you tail light haters are focusing on, and that is the shape of the tail light lens. The Camaro is a Isosceles trapazoid shape and the C7 is a scalene quadrilateral or trapazoid shape. There is a massive difference in form between the two cars and some just have the inability to see or grasp it. In fact the C7 tail lights are two separate quadrilateral shapes that are designed as one overall binacle

All four tail light lenses on the Camaro are identical. And the C7 has two duel light binacles, one sloped left and one sloped right, for a mirrored image look. All four C7 tail light lenses are a separate parts number.

So what we should do then is get a list of all the people that think there is a resemblance to the Camaro and tell them how they need to think.

Everything is good !

IMO nobody here wanted rectangular taillights from the get, but other than a very few designs, (like the aztec) eventually everybody gets on board

Especially when the competition tries to take its shot for the title

Meanwhile we are all anticipating something worth waiting for

I don't care if the taillights are rectangular.

Enough complaining about the C7 it has not even been released yet. If you do not like it move along.
