The rear looks like a 5th gen Honda Prelude with a Mugen spoiler :-/

Whatever team of design engineers cam up with the rear end make me think the GM has gone again!

Not sure why GM didn't use this design for 2014 since it was already being used for European markets?

Attachment 503765

IMO this would've been a better option!

Because those lights are even worse than the refresh tail lights. The Euro spec lights are God awful ugly.

I actually like the rear end. However, that front end looks weird and kinda of thrown together. Not really feeling it.

Sorry to say it, but I still feel that these changes to the front and rear ruined the look of the car for me. Thankfully I still love my 2011.

I would rather drive my 4th gen, ride my bicycle, ride the bus, than to own one of these cars. I can appreciate the fact that it is a Camaro, but I will personally never own a V6, 5TH Gen. It's a V8, SS car or go home for me! With that said, everyone, give the new refresh a chance, wait till you see it in person before you form an opinion? We all know what they say about opinions right?
Where does it say that we must love everything GM throws at us? Remember the late 80's Nova? As for opinions, everyone has one, and when they are dropping 40 grand are most certainly entitled to them.

I saw it in person at the auto show. A lot of you guys are Trolling this too far. The car looks good in person, pics don't do the changes justice at all. Don't be like those old fart Corvette owners that whine over any change made to the car. If you don't like it, don't buy it and sell your current one. There are plenty of Toyota Yaris cars available for you to buy.

Let's see who has more internet skills and speed than me, which should be easy.

Can someone post side by side rear end views of a white 2013 1LE and a white 2014 Z/28 (nice white and black contrasting) so we can see the differences in rear end designs.

My Ipad won't let me do it, and I'm sticking to that story.

I am glad I bought my 2013 last night. While this new one is ok, I do like the rear of the 2013 much better.

They aren't even close, the refresh are a different shape, they are LED and they wrap-around.

Yes the wrap around is what I don't like. I don't mind the shape of the rear lights except the wrap around the corner. And they didn't need to do that as they already have rear side marker lights. ???

I was thinking of buying the 2014 Z/28 and putting the front and rear of the ZL1 (which look awesome). Now I just look at the Corvette7 site
http://www.corvette7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=291667
and saw the price of the Stingray base for $51,995! I am like hell... if the Z/28 is more then that... I think I going to pick the big brother this time.

It's only 50 or so hp less and the dam things looks amazing in Black as we have seen in the photos.
This is the only 2014 car I can't wait to see in person!
