I've been gone for a couple of days, what did I miss?

Huh? Pretty much every major publication uses YouTube to publish video content. Are you referring specifically to YouTube 'professionals'?

also

How's that saying go, "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck quacks like a duck it must be a duck?" People on this forum admit the car has bad/poor visibility, most of the automotive forum community says it has bad visibility and every review mentions the visibility is bad. Hell AL O himself even acknowleged its bad, but when designing the car didn't want to sacrifice styling to improve it

I heard about the visibility issues before I test drove the car. I found it to be a non-factor... for me. The side windows are long enough for me to look back at blind spots, the a-pillars are thinner than my Volt's, the rear window is only good for a peak (which is all you would really do anyways). The biggest drawbacks would be backing up (if the car didn't come with a backup camera) and the rear b-c pillars.

And as someone who has owned two of them and driven plenty others, there really isn't issues seeing out of this car. However, if you are used to SUVs, big spacious sedans, or even a touring coupe, its going to feel very confined/jetlike..... which is really the point of a sports coupe anyways.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and this one does all the talking. I cross shopped the Mustang vs the Camaro. I tend to agree with your opinion. In the Mustang you sit as if you would in almost any other car, higher, more upright, which isn't necessarily bad. In the Camaro, the seating position is lower, and gives it more of a sport car feel. And to your point, part of the reason I liked the Camaro, is because of the cockpit. I've even commented to my wife that I feel like I'm sitting in a space ship when I'm in the Camaro. However, that is specifically what I was looking for. Most people will find the Mustang more livable because it's easier to get in and out of, and has somewhat more space. I just valued the performance metrics more in my search, others may not.

As long as it has the potential to go as fast and handle as well as I need it too without becoming a basket case thats all I need. It also has to be a car I am going to enjoy looking at and living with for the next several years.

That's understandable. Then what are you doing on a Camaro forum?
