So, ten years from now, are we going to have a similar thread discussing why the best engine on the 7th gen is a 4 cylinder turbo? Kidding, kidding
Regarding the redesign, what surprises me the most is how much better the changes work WITHOUT the RS package. The non-RS headlights (as seen on the Z/28) really complement the new front end. The non-RS taillights have a nice look to them as well. This was the main reason I disliked the mysterious pre-reveal reveal on that talk show. Overall, the design works really well and I'm excited to see a 1LE non-RS model in white. I expect it will look great...
I like the new tails in non-RS trim. I'd say the taillight shape has hints of gen 1, gen 2, gen 3, and gen 4 in it. Trapezoidal with a few gens having wrap-arounds on the corners:
Gen 1:
Gen 2:
Gen 3:
Gen 4:
Gen 5:
