I've seen the 2019 Chevelle and El Camino concepts.
I can't un-see it and believe me I've tried.

I know I'm not in the majority but I never liked the 10-13 taillights. When the gen 5 came out I wondered why they put the wrong taillights on the 69 tribute. GM fixed it in 14.

As I said, I know most people don't agree with me.

Ya your in the minority. For me the best years wear the 2010 to 2013. That includes the 6th gen styling as well.

Thumbs up
The 2014 and 15 tail lights design will be judged as the best looking by Camaro fans in the future. However, I’m slightly biased.

Absolutely.

We went to buy a brand new Camaro SS convertible in the spring of 2016 and were completely turned off by the 6th gen. I started doing research on the 5th gen and realized I wanted a 2013 as it had all the upgrades, but the better looking tail lights, so that’s all I searched for.

Nah I agree as well. The tails were the one part of the design I never understood from when the unveiled the concept. I do like the '14 ZL1's that keep the 10-13 grille with the '14-15 rear. I had a 2010 and I got used to them but if I was going to keep it, it was going to get a 14-15 rear bumper swap.

No...not likely . The headlights are to narrow and the rear isnt that great. But who knows...neither one of us thats for sure.
