Exactly, keeping in mind that's my choice. Sorry the rear is what sold it

That's really cool to see. It looks identical to the final concept except for the tail lights. It does look good, but the outboard egde of the lights are angled the opposite as the body. Kind of sloppy for GM design.

What's the difference in a RS and non on a 14? I would've got the RS any but didn't know it was different.

In the "tail" just the tail lights are different. In these pictures the exhaust tips are also different, but that is because one is a V6 and one is a V8. The only RS specific thing on the rear is the lights.

Thanks JR 1, I didn't know that and was wondering what the difference was.

I can agree with this up to the point that the tail light cuts into the quarter panel. I think that is what kills the retro for me. I like the look of the tail lights being in the back only, like a '69. I think the "all on the back" look to me gives a more retro type appearance, though not necessarily a Camaro retro look.

PS: I think anyone that did or did not buy this vehicle based on tail lights (whether pre 2014 or post 2014) is making a hell of a big deal about nothing. I like 2013 better than 2014, not because we have one, but because I like it better. I like the concept picture above on the silver car better than both actual designs. If we had not been in a position to get a 2013, I would not have passed on a car capable of pulling over a G in the corner fro less that $40K because of tail lights, I promise you that.

I actually really, really like the '14+ RS tails and wish I had them. So sue me.
