Halloween Finding New Roads

The following are my impressions of the generation six Camaro from the Finding Roads Tour that stopped in Kissimmee, FL today.

Pros:
- The car looks much more aggressive in person compared to in the pictures. The front lower grill, especially on the SS, looks incredible.
- The quality of the interior is very good.
- The NPP exhaust is very raspy, loud and mean. It sounds louder and more raspy than the NPP in my 2014 but it may be my imagination.
- The wheels certainly appear to be a step above the standard RS/SS.
- Heads up display is improved.

Cons:
- The interior is very noticeably smaller for a person my size (6'4", 280lbs). It is nice that there is soft leather where your legs/arm touch but I still think my '14 would be a more comfortable ride fit wise. I could not fit in the generation six sunroof version yet I fit in my generation five with sunroof just fine. I also sat in two of the new Corvettes they had there and can't believe anyone over 6' can fit in those.
- While I like the styling it is still noticeably less aggressive than the fifth generation. It is certainly softer on the lines.
- The placement of the center vents would probably become problematic if you have an M6 and like to rest your hand on the shifter.

Verdict:
- I really like the car but not enough to give up my '14 SS. I would certainly consider buying one when it comes time to start modding my current car and find a new daily driver. I do not like that the car got smaller and if that were to get even smaller in the generation seven then I would be out of the market for one. I really hope they don't go the way of the corvette which is comically tiny.
