LOL, my buddy just bought a 2016 Cad CTS-V. Great Visibility and will out run /perform the current C-6. Only problem for me is 4 doors/ And many more $s.

From C&D: not the mini van drivers, LOL:

The Chevy’s cabin is far more crowded than the Mustang’s, and the form-over-function exterior creates some ergonomic woes inside. Hang an arm on the windowsill and your elbow rises to ear level. The high trunklid and low roofline squeeze the view out the back into a sliver. Wide B-pillars and the rising beltline render the rear quarter-windows useless. When the feds make blind-spot monitoring mandatory in the coming years, you’ll have this car to thank.

LOL: more:

In doubling down on the retro-caricature style of the fifth-generation Camaro, Chevy appears to have designed for the next Transformers movie rather than the buyers who will live with the car. Stylists injected steroids into the bodywork and, almost unbelievably, knocked the roof about an inch lower to make the greenhouse even shorter. The stocky Power Wheels proportions suggest that a full-grown human would have to poke his or her head through the sunroof to drive this thing.

More for "you all drive vans and adjust ur mirrors crowd":

There’s more natural light entering Guantanamo’s solitary cells than the Camaro’s cabin, and yet designers struggled to shield the navigation screen from glare. Their inelegant solution tilts the screen toward the floor, an awkward angle that also reflects the faux-metal bezel surrounding the shifter. The panel gaps of the instrument-cluster hood—directly in the driver’s line of sight—should make Bob Lutz weep.

So just say "ya visibility sucks but I love it." Not, if u think visibility sucks ur this or that...I like the C-6 but visibility (not just blind spots) sucks. Will be waiting for a hardtop and a little more green house. Maybe a long wait or will just have to go to a faster Cad 4-dr and more bucks. Naw, need a 2dr, with hardtop if I could. C-6 with the Vett engine is just hard to beat but yes outward visibility is poor.
Sorry...You can add all the "LOL"s you want....visibility is not bad in this car. I'll preach that till I die. It's got a slammed roof...so do all sports cars. That impacts things. It also reminds you what you're driving. You get used to it and adjust your driving style. If you're creeping up on the white line under a stop light and can't see it turn green, it's cause you're a bad driver, not because visibility is awful.

Adjust your mirrors: blind spots go away. Pay attention to how you're driving, and visibility is fine. If any of us here felt so compromised in vision while driving, we'd have all bought something else. But we don't...now do we?

By the way...have you owned one? Your commentary suggests...no.
