Here's the 1969 Camro tail light. I would guess the inspiration came from here, not the Prelude. P.S. I still hate the new tail lights.

Really? Those look like they came from a "close-out" bin at a cheap auto accessories store. UGLY!

Do they care about the other 99.99% of the car? or do they just shop for tail-lights and not worry about the rest of the car?

GM is trying to create a heritage retro style with a modern flare, doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that, and if you don't like it, well to each their own, but stop flaunting your ignorance to the heritage of these cars.

lol - I think I saw some kids on your lawn. You should go yell at them.

with that line of thinking, it looks like a supra, 240sx, and mx-6 as well:
