Yeah, the rear looks smoother, but just removing the "crease" that's on each side on the 16 - 18 isn't going to make the rear any better looking in my opinion (not that I hate the current rear...I don't, but I don't think its a knockout either). Its the shape of the outline of the taillamps that need to change...and unfortunately it doesn't look like they are going to change that b/c the trunk line is still the same as before.

I actually really like the "swoops" of the LEDs in the current tail lamps very much. Again, my gripe is the overall shape of the lamp. I'd like to see a completely different design here.

Looks like more slope to the hood. Improved visibility?

So what I can see (obviously the changes to the nose are totally hidden).

Rear bumper loses the creases below the tail lights (I am okay with this).
Rear bumper along the bottom seems to be adding a wrap around lip (not digging that).

Taillights look to light up in circles instead of the curved lines they have now (hope this is just for testing, looks too much like something you would buy off Ebay).

Various new wheels (the one set looks a lot like the S197 Mustang "Brembo" wheels lol).

I would agree with all of this. Looks to me like a very "light" refresh...
For real though, rear bumper looks smoother, lights all around and more wheel options. Although the wheels look terrible IMO.

With the 5th gen, it was airflow. The smaller front grille wouldn't cool the supercharged v8 to their standards.

Too bad the spy pics doesn't address any potential mechanical changes.

What do I want:
-Some interior changes
-New rear bumper
-Full LED
-Don't mind if they change the front
-New spoiler
-And YES, NEW TAIL LIGHTS.

This kind of rear would be cool. I love the tail lights. They would look awesome on the camaro.
WHat do u think?
