Updated 2019 Camaro ZL1 refresh revealed in latest sighting - Page 5

While I do own an '18 and may not be completely impartial, I am having a hard time warming up to the '19 tail lights or bumper cover--just look less designed, less elegant and more clumsy. Now if it had the LT5....

Have to say I'm not a fan at all of the 2019 rear end, especially the taillights. With that said, it sounds like some people love them. This is perfect because there are TONS of 17'/18's available and then everyone who likes the new ones can jump on board.

I actually think the taillights from the 17'/18' are some of the best out of any car I've ever seen. Again, 100% personal preference kind of topic but there's my opinion.

The best tail lights have been the ZL1 1LE lights tail lights in my opnion. The red lights are fugly!

...especially the OEM dark tails. Pure joy to look at IMO as they flow very well with the rear body lines, and the tinted version is more aggressive than the somewhat bland regular red one.

Happy to see the front was untouched, hard to improve perfection without screwing it up.

Perhaps GM should have improved other things to improve performance and left the looks alone in '19... I really like the previous tail lights... These I would have to see in person and in the light & dark.

rear end sucks. if your not going to refresh it right, do not do it. listen to your customers before you make changes.

Not a fan just yet. Saw them up close at Woodward and while the design/style is ok-ish, the fact that they bulge out all bug-eyed is not attractive to me, regardless if they are red, smoke, clear etc.

And, I don't think it's fair to say they are similar to the '12-'13 lights. Those were much better IMO.

I can’t even see the 12-13 tail lights over the horrid reverse lamps on that car. To each there own. The pre refresh 5th Gen was the worst looking camaro ever produced IMO

I actually liked the 4th GEn SS. I had a new WS6 and chose it over the SS but still liked that car a lot. Nothing about the early 5th gen enticed me at all.
