Isn't this even worse? Now, it will look like the OBSOLETE Camaro. These single unit lights are nice, been saying all along C7 should have single unit lights but as usual, Camaro beat it to it. Oh and IBTL

Just can't get off the tail lights. They do not look like the Camaro tail lights. That is all I have to say.

I like the C7, but I have to admit I chuckled at that comment. Pretty funny.

I thought GM was going for a "fleet" look? Hence the C7 taillights.

"I" didn't say they did, but it's been a hot button topic so I thought I'd share this info. It does make me wonder if the change to Camaro had anything to do with Corvettes new lights. Since it's been such a point of contention I'd find it hard to believe that nobody at GM thought about it when tweaking the Camaro.

I highly doubt it. Designs are in the works for some time. Them simply don't make a change based on comments about another model. Besides as I said the Corvette tail lights don't look like the Camaro's. That only got stared because they were no longer round.

That new Camaro looks like crap.

They even put that ugly Pepboys plastic chrome stuff on that new Camaro grill as well.
