In order to make the greenhouse smaller but not reduce rear seat headroom to zero, there has to be a dogleg in the roof. The over all size of the car is smaller but the seating area can't be reduced further without resorting to calling it a 2+2 and losing many potential sales. And if the rear quarter window wasn't turned up a little "a-la Ferrari" it would make the shortened roof line look worse. I too don't care for that large area of sheet metal between the rear quarter "hips" and the bottom of the quarter window (esp when compared to say the GTR, which incidentally is only a 2 seater and has a really clean lower glass line), but the Camaro, to achieve the goals of seating 4 in a smaller car requires the dogleg, and the roof can't slope down as fast as a longer car could without sacrificing headroom. It just seems like the Ferrari did it more neatly... but there again, its a 2 seater. |
It's hard to tell for sure without any reference points, but it looks like they designed a bigger side window in the car. Maybe somebody already posted this.
