Now they will say the Camaro has an ugly rear end with those tail lights. and I have to say the Camaro tail lights were nice, but not those. Their sort of bland and don't go well with that rear.

Still looks unfinished in the rear. I like most about the Camaro, with exception to the last 18 inches of the rear end.

I do not like the C7 at all, but I do like that new Camaro if they will actually look like that. But I am also looking at a Shelby Cobra.

They look like a combination of '78 & '79 Malibu tail lights.

C7 should get single unit lights from the beginning, Camaro couild soldier on with udates to their original lights. Now, C7 will be identified with obsolete Camaro lights. Great thinking from GM as usual.

I can't believe they gave the Camaro a makeover and left the dash untouched. I think the dash in it is horrible.

It's interesting how all this fear and loathing about the Camaro on CF has had nothing to do with predicting it's success.

To be honest those tail lights look ugly, the old ones flow better with the camaro. It's like GM thought about the tail lights last minute and decided we have to make something "new" so they designed ugly looking tail lights. And for the record I love the new tail lights on the c7, its just these lights seem to be purchased from pep boys or alike.
