Like most I didn't like the rear end, but even then I had to admit that the rear end clearly has styling cues from first gen Camaros, where the 10-13 style really doesn't. When I had to start shopping for a new Camaro I started looking at 13s because that seemed to be the sweet spot for the 5th gen, but I couldn't find one in pristine condition so I got a new 14. I love it more every time I see it and at this point the only styling gripe I have is the square openings for round fog lights, which is a pretty minor gripe.
Dont the tailights on the 10-13's resemble the early 70's Camaro's?

I really like the 10-13, but I have owned 2 of those styles. Didn't care much for the 14-15, but the front end grew on me. Those tail lights though? Scream dodge. I get it that the styling points to much much older camaro generations, but I digress. IMHO, of course. I just wish I had the 13 MY with EPS so I could have MOAR POWAH!!

probably not enough difference to notice, i have to say, when the eps came out at work, i figured here we go. but unless you wreck or hit a huge hole, it seems very well designed

I never really made the connection, but I guess they do. The shape of the 10-13 lights are unique, but they are twin lights like the early 70's era. Don't get me wrong, I love the 10-13 rear end but I don't think it really draws much from older Camaros. The 14-15 lights were clearly designed with the first gen in mind, but I don't think they are as distinctive. With the RS trim though, I do think they look very polished and upscale.

I can't even begin to wrap my head around the ignorance of this statement. Hash marks go back to at least the 60's with the Corvette Grand Sports being some of the first to use them. They've been used by many teams from many makes over the years since. The design doesn't belong to any automaker or particular model.

I like the taillights pretty equally for 2010-15, but I can't stand those pulled up pants

though I'll admit if the diffuser isn't the single exhaust it distracts me from it.

At the end of the day we are all Camaro owners and we SHOULD be able to get along and not throw low blows at each others cars...

This...

Its a dodge thing? Give me a friggin break.....

Also, does the OP realize the 1LE has staggered wheels, just like the ZL1...

I really don't understand why the OP didnt just order his car with the 1LE package, well worth the $3500.....
