I've had less than a day to think about this.

I think I might even enjoy the car more the way it is, knowing that the fun to drive it >> what anybody behind me thinks.

Since that'd be their problem, and since I'm kind of an independent-minded cuss . . . I'll vote in this poll now.

The sole fact of the corner wrapping around on to the 1/4 panel in itself absolutely kills it. Why couldn't they square them up like the 69 will a little modern flare to it and put them on the back panel, maybe put the blackout on there as well to really look like a 69............like what dodge did with the Challenger, that back looks like the modern day version of the Challenger of old

They (*GM) really could have hit it out of the park had they had done something more like that and that would have pleased EVERYONE
if it didn't wrap around, we would get posts like, "it looks like a supra, ZOMG!!!!"

know what? GM should've polled the public(preferably G5) for refresh ideas, because apparently, their designers were out to lunch(politely put). Frankly, these suck..eggs...

I was born in 1977, and I think they look like prelude lights.

But I also see the 1st, 3rd and 4th gen styling in them and actually have come to like the new lights. After seeing Taylor's renderings of individual lights, I think this was the right direction and it looks good IMO. This car is growing on me FAST. But not as fast as my pocket book is growing...

Don't like the new back. Here's my idea (on the right side):

Compared to what they did:

Wrapping the tail lights around the side was a mistake. This looks too much like an ordinary sedan. There's nothing about this new back that looks exciting; the original 5th gen concept (and production) car looked dynamic in the back. This new design is basically kind of boring to be honest.

Glad I got the 2010 when I did. The thinner grill makes it look a little ricy and the tail lights look too much like the new dodge dart lights. Perhaps in person I will have a different opinion.

beginning to like the taillights, the more I see it side by side next to the 2010.

The car looks wider and lower from front and back.

I can get past the look of the tail lights. But I 100% agree that this new rear end is totally boring and uninspiring. It could just as easily go on the Malibu sedan.

The license plate area is particularly hard to get past when the previous version was so much nicer and stylish. This car has curves all over it. And they took a beautifully sculpted license plate area and made it essentially a square box inset with the diffuser half way up.

Yuk.
