No they are from people, like me, that believe a truly great car can be everything the Camaro brings to the table ANNNNND decent visibility. It's poor, no matter how much your personal opinion that is doesn't matter to you, the visibility is poor. This isn't a Lambo or a McLaren super car. Mustang has noticeably better visibility. BMW 4 Series has noticeably better visibility.

So no, you don't need to be a Camry or Hyundai. But you should be able to do a simple head check for a lane change. And you should be able to see the stop light at an intersection. Neither of these simple driving techniques was I able to do on a test drive. Why? Poor visibility.

And the magazine guys from Car and Drive, Motor Trend, Road & Track that have all consistently criticized the car for visibility ARE enthusiasts and DO NOT prefer driving mini vans.

It's ok that you are willing to accept the trade off for styling, and it's great you loved the new Camaro enough to go out and buy one. But many people won't be.
