Yikes..C & D was vicious on the interior!

Is it just me or did many of these reviews seem.....I don't want to say disappointed...?

Praising the performance but finding the rest of the car "meh"?

I actually couldnt sleep, in anticipation of these reviews. I woke up at 4am just to read them! Lol I actually EXPECTED more negativity. Somewhere... Anywhere. Car seems just too good to be true. I was very pleasantly surprised.

Having read more of them the excitement is more obvious.

I would like to know how C&D had such issues with visibility where the others said it was fantastic?

Yeah. Cant help but wonder if they are holding on to the stigma from the 5th Gen on that one?

Automobile and C&D are on opposite ends of the spectrum on interior visibility.

Automobile:

Quote:
Sitting in the driver’s seat, no longer do you feel as though you’re peering through a welding mask’s narrow porthole. The new Camaro is conspicuously airy, with far better visibility to the front and corners...Climate-control temperature and fan speed are adjusted simply by twisting the outer rings of the two central air vents—a brilliant touch
C&D:

Quote:
That styling—with its narrow slits for side windows, fat C-pillar, and short rear glass—has, indeed, done nothing to improve the outward visibility in this new car. It is abysmal. We adjusted to it, partly by accelerating hard before performing lane changes just to clear some room. Adjust your mirrors carefully. The interior of the Ford Mustang feels ballroom-spacious by comparison...Other ergonomic misfires include center HVAC vents mounted so low in the center stack that they dispense air directly onto your shifting hand, the world’s most useless door pockets, and an infotainment screen canted curiously down toward the floor, where it reflects the bright, faux-metal shifter surround.

Quote from the automobile mag review:
And the play isn’t over. Stay tuned for Act Three: Chevy in 2017 will release an all-new Camaro ZL1 sporting a supercharged, 6.2-liter LT4 V-8 probably making close to 600 hp. Start saving for your g-suit now.
Thanks for the time and effort to provide all these hyperlinks to the forum. I appreciate it.
