Please don't tell me you can't design split taillights into an existing platform without tearing it up big. Come on now. I understand that you can't tweak the chassis for extra legroom, or maybe even lower the beltline (although that doesn't sound super difficult), but the trunk thing would've been an easy fix.

Then they could've shouted "look, we fixed the golf club issue" and "we listened, the Camaro's trunk is now x% more usable than the competition" and even "hey, our new camera mirror fixes the vast majority of visibility issues in this car" in relentlessly repeated short commercials, kind of what Dodge did with their brotherhood of muscle ad campaign. It costs a couple million bucks that they would've recouped with a few thousand extra annual sales.

...but then I'm sure we had this "argument" before and we will have to agree to disagree again, heh
