The exterior of the car really didn't need to be a priority, so they didn't have to sacrifice the looks of the car to make sure the tail-lights don't fill up with water, or use special metallic paint that doesn't appear to be different colors. Thirdly, as practical as the V6 Camaro is supposed to be, it wasn't designed like a Taurus. The Camaro R&D team wanted to really focus on striking looks instead of all the refinements you would find in a Taurus. Yes, I'll admit, there were probably a few corners cut to make the Camaro work given it's price range, but to expect the Camaro to be built as well as an SHO/Taurus should be is expecting a bit much. Different classes of cars my friend and I say that with the utmost of respect!

Wait what do the looks of the car have to do with not sealing the tail lights properly? Thats a QC issue.
