The New Euro Camaro (VIDEO)

This is why the rear license cutout is so large...

That's a euro '12. Why would they make a 45th anniversary edition in 2014???

GM gave the 2012 Euro version the redesigned rear and saved it for the 2014 US model.
I only posted the video to show why the license plate area is so large on the 2014 US model.

Sorry for any confusion. The date on the video is exactly a year ago.

I don't know, I think the Euro plate fits on the '10-'13 rear bumper. They didn't need to make the '14 so ugly to accomodate different plates.

That is nothing new, they have been out for awhile, and that rear fascia will fit 10-13 models..

The old style wasn't long/wide enough for Euro plates

The original question: "Why is the rear license plate area so wide and ugly?" was posted here in the Convertible Forum.
