I really hope this doesn't flow over to the non-eu ones, as I like the north american style (protip: i'm in NZ) of not having the orange in the tail lights.

Well theres a pic of the Z28(ZL1 now) clay model and it had the sunglass tail lights so we might end up getting these. They dont look too bad, itll probably grow on me but i like my 4 taillights

i like the tails and mirrors... of course it looks more European, because when youre going 150 mph on the Autobahn, flashing orange stands out more than red and when youre being overtaken, its nice to have extra signals for safety... i would love to have those roads and speed limits here, but unfortunately the low requirements for vehicles to be on the road will never allow it..

I can actually get used to the tail lights, they are alright, but the mirrors, my god they are huge. You can keep them.

I like the tail lights! The shape of them is alright but I really like the look of the LEDs. And it looks so much cleaner without the reverse lights on the bumper.

I agree as well I think they are sharp. I hate the mirrors but the rear is much sharper it wouldn't surprise me if they make it over here.

PS: May I ask where you got the black bowtie it looks mean.

I don't understand WHY they have to be like that. Side repeaters I can understand that we need them, but why weren't the reflectors changed into that, leaving the mirrors untouched.

Tail lights, sorry, but they are a real abomination. Why?????

I saw a Mustang about 20 minutes ago, it has the standard American tail lights and RED indicators.

In all the years that American cars are sold here in Belgium, I've never seen this before, that a car needed to be adapted so much that the tail lights need to be changed completely (GM, look at the Corvette PLEASE, that doesn't have the orange indicators too)

Honestly, for me, the EU Camaro is a NO GO. Talking to my accountant tomorrow, and if he agrees, I'll be ordering a US spec in the blink of an eye.
