What I'm saying is it feels normal for this class of vehicle, as in, I find it strange that this minor shortcoming would be a dealbreaker for so many with such a relatively cheap car. (And I'm still sure the beltline could've been lowered an inch or two in the refresh, which then could have been a game changer for those who were turned off to the car for this reason.)

Nobody finds the same fault with the C8 where one physically cannot see absolute jack **** behind the car or rearward to the sides, and were it not for the camera mirror (same as the unit in the Camaro), the only thing people could do is be faster than everyone else so they don't need to see what's behind them (j/k). And the C8 is much more expensive.

The frequency of mentions in reviews doesn't hit as hard in this ultra-connected, memeified world where content creators endlessly parrot each other, hoping their take will not be dismissed ("look, he didn't even mention visbility, what a superficial review"). In other words, reviews are far, far from independent of each other.

Anyway, it is what it is, I can totally understand how "normal" people don't like the cockpit feel; to me it's a selling point, and the discussion is moot, I seriously doubt GM would attempt a new Camaro line, especially one that would stand out and not look almost exactly like something else.

It was no diff from my C6's and 7's and neveR even noticed it when i got my 2021 LT1.
