The first thing I said to my coworker when I saw the tail lights was "now it looks like my old Prelude!!" To be honest, I think the narrow and longish tail lights help to make the rear look even wider which, in my opinion, is a nice thing. Sure helps that I liked how my Prelude looked :-).

Not digging the center louver for the hood, though. But I think overall, it looks just fine. I was hoping they might do more for the interior, but perhaps that just has to wait until the C6.

And yes, there is a pear on top of my Prelude, hence it was a Pearlude.

It has the same amount of openings, but they are styled differently.

I like my 2010 better from the rear especially, even though I'm planning on selling it. I'm ready for the new Vette!!!

Ok I still feel my initial impressions of the rear was yuk, but I think we need better pictures of it than ones captured off a TV broadcast with studio lighting. I think a lot of the detail has been lost in the glare of those lights... I am holding my judgement for better pictures.

Wheels and the spoiler are the same as the Leno Camaro too, not in the press photo but on the stage
the lower grill is not the same. the spoilers are also not the same, from what i can tell.

there is no lip above the fogs, like the leno and current gen camaro. the lower grill opening actually looks bigger as well.

No its not the same... plenty of cues inspired by the Leno car though, and very similarly designed. Front bumper as well as the rear spoiler, and the wheels too.

I'll keep my RP6 2010, never planned on getting rid of it anyway. I hope they put a better ass on the 6th gen. Not liking the taillights. They look too much ricer or Mopar.
