What aspect of the 5th Gen did you not like on first impression?

We all love the 5th Gens, but was there some aspect or feature that you didn’t like when you first saw it? For me, it was the rear spoiler. I just thought it needed to be higher. Not surprisingly, that was one of my first mods and I loved the result.
Others have a similar response to something about these beautiful rides?
By contrast, I love my egg crate grill, stock rear diffuser, and other aspects that are often replaced. To each his/her own.

The Camaros with no rear spoiler.

Also the black hole fillers instead of the driving lights on the LS models.

The unpainted GFX kits on the 2010 models. Luckily, mine is Cyber Gray Metallic so it is fairly close. I will paint it eventually.

I didnt care for the 2010-2011 interior. The dash was too bland and did not like the retro steering wheel. When the '14 refresh came out I was fairly disgusted by the looks which is hilarious because years later I really like my 2015 that I bought recently.

The fact that second generation taillights (2010-13 models) were placed on a first generation vehicle design.
Some owners are in denial and insist they're not, but I understand because it's commonplace in this era of denying blatant truth.
