Oh and to start another poop storm.......you can't claim the Mustang is a Gran Touring car and the Camaro is a Sports Car. Using that as an excuse as to why the Mustang has better visibility is...................... They are both in the same class. The Corvette IS a Sports Car. The Camaro is not in the same class as the Corvette regardless of performance similarities.

Sales will tell the story. My only worry is that people will not buy the Camaro because it isn't a great coupe.

NOTE THE FOLLOWING: If you are on this website and reading this, performance more than likely outweighs visibility, trunk space and rear seat room. All attributes of comparing a cars usefulness. And 3 areas where the Mustang is measurably better than the Camaro. But, again, if you are on this website and reading this, those are probably the 3 things at the bottom of your list. Just be able to admit that people who are NOT on this website and don't care about this website or even care that the car is a 6th Generation of an iconic brand and are looking for a great coupe are using those attributes to judge and compare the cars. Most of the rest of the car buying public are NOT......LIKE......US

I absolutely agree I'm willing to trade some visibility for style. But like I said, a greater visibility model already exists with the accompanying style (Mustang/Challenger). We don't have to completely eliminate everything else just because some people prefer more visibility. I would t feel so strongly about it if it wasn't constantly harped on by SO many people. And the Mustang is a different car. They may be technically classified in the same realm, but they're both obviously aiming for different objectives. Even with the track pack the Mustang doesn't handle as well as the new Camaro does, as told by multitudes of journalists. Likewise the Camaro isn't as comfortable or easy to deal with on a 1k mile trip. That's okay. It just seems like an inordinate amount of people crap on the Camaro for its visibility, while barely touching the Mustang's softer handling. They both have a place though. Like I said, none of this exactly gives me panic attacks, it's just obnoxious having SO many freakin people endlessly moan about the visibility. I absolutely applaud Saabkyle and Subaruwrxfan for mentioning it without blowing it completely out of proportion. And Subaru actually owns a Mustang Ecoboost. Both very good reviews on YouTube btw. Y'all should check em out if you haven't seen them yet.
