Put some of those small blindspot mirrors on the car mirror. Especially helpful for noting how close to curbs you are when parallel parking and getting a bigger picture when backing etc.

You know you can turn off the automatic mirror turn down when in reverse feature! That's very handy when parallel parking so you can see the curb, but for general backing it's more of a hinderance than help! Turn it off if you don't like it. I turned mine on, but I parallel park so seldom that I think I'll turn it off again.

I think it's a bit much to say the Camaro design chief "failed".
I think GM may have listened to Camaro fans a bit too closely and didn't design a more broadly appealing car..but I would hardly say the Gen 6 Camaro design is a failure. |

GM followed the Camaro fans really closely and delivered a car that Camaro fans will love but you also have those that are NOT Camaro fans that wont give it a chance because of the visibility that came with the Camaro styling. |

Bitter much? You laid out the cash, you bought the car, I can only assume you knew what you were getting into. Fess up...You made a mistake if those are your priorities. I see a Camry in your future...

They chose to cater to the enthusiast and while I actually do have a problem with the visibility (w/r/t front left and right, getting used to it probably though!!) I still do not fault them. |

Last night while driving my ZL1 I though to myself I don't understand the severity of the visibility comments. Its not as good as my daily driver GTO but I don't even notice it unless thinking about the complaints I read.
I'm not defending or discounting the experiences of others. I'm just surprised that its such a none factor for me while being such a bitter pill for others

I think one reason they go on and on about poor visibility and lack of rear seat space vs a full on sports car like the vette, z or the ilk is that some people expect to make fewer sacrifices for this vs the others. It seems to be viewed as a more practical alternative. Also, it is a review. Not letting viewers/readers about that would make for a bad review and they can't assume that the viewer/reader is consuming all of the reviews. Same reason they all let you know how great the motor is.

Didn't quote your whole post but WOW. That's harsh. I'm no GM fan for sure but you sound like you're upset over a lot more than just visibility, which yeah isn't fantastic but it's definitely not a catastrophic failure. I never feel like I'm in any imminent danger from lack of visibility.
