If so, then let me clarify. The red one called is a REAR FOG LIGHT. In any European Union territory, all automobiles must have at least one rear fog light (and must be positioned either in the driver's side area or in the center-line or median).

Don't worry. If they bring this in America or elsewhere, you can be sure that it will come with two reverse lights............but if it ever comes with an asymmetric arrangement, then you can switch or replace the rear fog lamp with white-color a reverse lamp at your local Chevy dealer
Excellent observation and explanation

I see. It's the only thing about this car that bugs me. Car looks good overall.

Hehe it's alright. In fact, I asked something like this in the past when I pointed something like this out as a factory defect........when apparently it isn't.

One of the best examples:


I think though that to switch from rear fog lamp to a white reverse light, you have to replace the entire unit and you have to make changes to the wiring and circuitry as well........

Hope that helps

P.S.
Also
There are some cars that have fog lamp in the center





Or some cars that have rear fog lamps on BOTH sides

That's a good looking estate, Chevrolet are producing some decent cars lately. One thing I can't get away with is the bloody awful, cheap-looking gold "bowtie" they nail on these cars. It must be the worst car logo in the World.

Tradition, my friend. The bow-tie has been around since Chevrolet itself was founded in 1913. This link tells the history:

LOL, can't do anything if you find the LOGO cheap. I find it better than certain blue ovals and pentastar, though...

The new Chevys do look really nice. I hope the wagon comes here.

Not hating it. Will reserve judgement for in-person sighting.
