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

AMEN!!!
To any of you who can't read the last part of his post and acknowledge that he is right. You are a camaro fan boy who can't see that this is an issue. No one is saying its undrivable, but it can definitely be improved.
IMO Chevrolet was stupid for using Gen 5 owners at car meets as their focus group! Of course they will say that visibility isn't an issue and that the style was the most important thing to them, because if visibility was an issue they would have bought a different car!
I like the Gen 6 a lot and will buy one soon, hopefully a yet to be released performance model. However, I will admit that leading up to the gen 6 reveal I was looking for a slightly less retro more modern sleek design. I wasn't really excited about the looks of the gen 6 when it was introduced it looked like a lazy re hash of the 5th gen even though it was a completly new car. Even so I knew to wait for performance figures because I think GM usually excels in its class when it comes to overall performance. I will buy a new camaro and live with the downfalls, but I can only imagine what could have been if they built a car that was considered as universally appealing as the Mustang is and with slightly improved ergonomics.
