I guess the wrap around has something to do with regulations and safety? but it kills the look for me. The rear end of the '10-'13 is one of, if not the strongest points of the car for me.

I've seen all the references too and I don't think Honda when I see it.

i didn't see a 2014 rear of a camaro, and think honda. i saw the rear of a prelude, and just associated it with the new camaro because of all the references from this site. If you can't "see" that, then that's too bad for you.

i doubt that. the new vette tail lights don't wrap around.

It's 69 retro with 2nd gen wrap around. It does look a but Honda prelude type but it'll grow on ppl. They should've made these on the 2010s.
Anyway like anything else it takes time but it'll grow on ppl

Don't get so upset just because I don't have a clouded way of looking at things that aren't there. There are places you can go to get help if you want it.

the C7 guys were saying they got Camaro tail lights....I never saw that at all...but the prelude references and red lego brick references are spot on.

The Z/28 masks a lot of it but the "regular" SS looks like hammered dog shit!
How about that chrome strip on the grill and around the headlights

Can we get some factory option curb feelers too???

lol, i'm far from upset, like you. How do I have a clouded way of looking at things? There have been numerous posts, and pictures of preludes in the last 48 hours. I never once said i thought they looked the same. I only said it reminded me of a camaro, because of the posts from this site.

I think what they did was a combination/transformation.

look at early 2nd gen compared to 2010-13
look at later 2nd gen compared to 2014... combine that shape with the pattern from a 69 Z28

FMVS (Federal Motor Vehicles Standards) lists all of the Department of Transportation's lighting regulations..... Wrap around light design is not listed as a mandatory item. It is merely a new style.
