I think the ulimate question would be....does the changes that GM made for 2014 make someone who would not have bought the old design buy the new one. I think the answer is no.
My personal thought is that this shows the importance of Bob Lutz, and what can make it through the pipeline without him there.

Yup. I hope products and profitability are not lost to '80s style market share and cost focus.
Someone above also said the '14 rear end loses the **sculpting** from the rest of the car that made it so interesting. I think that sums up the specific issue with the tail.
