I Think 2014 Taillights Look Good Here

Lots of the taillight shots you see are closeup. Here's some walkaround videos from local dealers, I think they look decent here. Especially when lit. Can't wait to see them in person. But yeah I still prefer the old lights

Thanks for the videos. I agree with you. Under certain conditions the lights look good. However, I prefer the old lights.

I agree the 2014s look much more refined. Come 2016 I would like to see changes to the taillights among other things... The 14's are definitely superior to the 2013s. If someone says otherwise its simply because they already have a 10-13 and its financially to upgrade to a 14 or they have a sentimental bond with their car. This is unless you have a lot of mileage and would like a new car or have GM discounts to make it more affordable.

Here we go Again.. ....... Funny how some are "getting use to" the new lights, you can get use to anything given enough time but, then you never really liked them in the first place. They still suck IMO and I'm pissed Chevy did it, it stopped me from buying a new Z-28.

I was pumped for the 2014 unveil and I was pissed with what I saw. I love the heritage grille old style SS, that option was gone. I wanted stripes like the convertible concept, lets just put a plastic vent in the hood a ruin that plan. The tail lights, sadly you cannot polish a turd. I ran out an ordered a 13, no regrets here!!

Sorry but someone at Chevy really needs to be fired. Those rear lights are horrible. I have a 2010 Camaro and would not buy the new one based on the Hood insert and the taillights. Deal breaker!!

IMO it looks like they shrunk the 2010 grill and then try to merge something between the ZL1 and 2010 lower grill???? They came up with this??? The hood insert looks cheap and would have been better off going with the Hex Vents. Bad move Chevy

LOL on the DRL lights...Could only imagine the thought process on this one...Hey Fred lets make it look like the ZL1 but put a Chessy plastic moulding around it

thats funny, because i saw the 2014's, and quick ran out and ordered a 2013 before it was to late.

Hey, some people like them, some dont. your reasoning is way off

The problem is they've gone way overboard on this road racing fixation. Everything is now being styled to function around that. I love the 2010-2013 styling because I like going to car shows. Everything I liked about the car they changed.

You think a 14 is superior to this?







Much more refined my butt, looks like a rushed car so they could throw something in the ring to try to contend with the new Mustang.

I think Nascar when seeing the 2010-2013 in photo above...When seeing the 2014 I see a bunch of monkeys sitting around the table coming up with a design

Nah... Still not good. Personally, I like the '13s. And I'm not a "hater" who's pissed because I don't have the new "thing." I waited to see the 2014's before I pulled the trigger on a 1LE and I ran to my dealer after seeing it to make sure I got one.

All I want are the Recaros. I don't care how much they'll cost me either lol!
