I can fill my tank in under 5 min so unless I can charge the car in under 15 min I won't even look at electric because it's inferior.


Ev's are years and years away from becoming a viable option for most of the drivers. They still have to build up the electric grid, then build a charging infastructor, Advance charging tech as well as advance battery tech. It's just not there and won't be for years.


Some places have a infastructor for charging. But your average person is not going to want to plan trips based on where chargers are located.



Scotty Kramer said that the Camaro is dead! It must be true because he's the guru of cars. I didn't watch the video YouTube thinks I should watch the idiot so I just seen his typical clickbate title.



Personally I'm happy they delayed the Camaro. The Camaro team has dropped the ball and the 2019 some people have to be removed from that team asap. I hope they are restructuring the team and planning for the gen 7 to be a true new generation and the next evaluation of the Camaro. I think when they came out and said they were listening to us it was a wake up call for them and I hope we see more options as well as more performance.



Also people crying about visibility need to put the phone down and drive. Visibility why not the best is not horrible. It's a Camaro not a mini van. I have zero problems with visability.
Glad you have no problem with visibility. But it's a problem. It's like saying I have food on my table so no one could be going hungry.

The major point on visibility isn't whether you have a problem. You bought one. But how many sales are they missing because those other people, me included DO find it to be a problem. Again a slight reminder, every single Camaro review written since 2016 comments on it. So even though you are ok, even good with it, it's a problem that is more than likely leading to at least some lost sales.

Nope not a minivan. But although some have actually posted that if it's ok for a McClaren to have poor visibility it's ok for the Camaro. People think that the Camaro is a hyper car or even a super car. Well in L4 and V6 trims, it needs to be a great coupe. Those buyers are much less willing to trade off visibility, trunk space and lift over height and rear seat room.

It's not about whether you like your Camaro, you clearly do including defending what is, from an engineers point of view, a major miss with the Gen6. It's whey doesn't the BEST PERFORMING CAMARO EVER not destroy the competition in sales. Answer that question without saying $$$.
