It's the flat top of the 'round' cartoon tail lights IMO. It doesn't harken back to previous Camaro's and certainly not previous Corvette's.

I think they erred there by putting that styling on the Corvette after it has become synonymous with the new "Transformer" Camaro.

So you can say the Camaro's tail lights were based off this instead.

Of course...the designers mentioned the reason for styling choices for the tail lights when the car was introduced. And since they've heard the feedback, they've reiterated the same information. It's interesting to see how many Corvette owners on one of the forums I visit absolutely love it as much as other hate it. So the designers achieved their goal of moving the styling. When I first saw it, I didn't make any connection to the current Camaro. I am aware of the rear light design of that car and the new Malibu, and I didn't immediately think "they copied it".
What I am still getting used to is the vents that some have termed the "mascara". Overall, I still really like the car, so much that I am seriously considering a purchase.
I hope the 2015 Mustang is AMAZING!
