Looks like a '97 Toyota Cellica with Camaro tail lights.

Looks like a Mustang with that hatch and the taillights are definitely Camaro-ish. I read about this earlier today and didn't believe it enough to post here.

The only thing I find a little interesting is awhile ago a suspected mule was sighted and the exhaust pipes looked the same.

It's not that it's a bad looking car.......It's just that every part of it, except for the nose, looks like it was stolen from something else. There's no part of the body that looks unique.

Definitely not as sexy as C6.

The badge says ZR1.

Too big a gap between the hood and windshield, speaking of which, looks out of proportion.

Meh.

It is not the big change I was expecting. Jalopnik says this is what the
ZR1 is supposed to look like.

Thank God.

Camaro tail lights on a Vette? Just can't believe they would want people to trade down.
