The Three things that all customers look for, according to him and him only, to make a "Great" coupe have always been available from the Challenger.

Might want to be careful there. Dodge didn't have a competitor to the Mustang and Camaro until 2008 after over 30 years of being out of the class. Since then they have had steady sales increases every year. In time they might be selling just as much. I have seen multiple threads here on a CAMARO forum of guys ditching their 6th gen desires to pick up Challengers!
You don't think that average joes weighing all the options on the Camaro, Challenger, and Mustang don't think that visibility is at least something to consider?
Removing sales projections from the equation. The Challenger to me is the most Grand Touring Car of the bunch. Better interior space and trunk space and lots of power. Frankly I think a lot of people here will never push the car's handling limits far enough to even notice that it handles better than a Challenger. Frankly if I wasn't looking for a car to be a Daily Driver / Track Day Toy. I would buy a challenger or a mustang. I think they both look great and some would argue they are better street cars.
Visibility isn't the only thing that makes a car, but its a huge factor.
You guys fight this point like having more visibility is a bad thing! It's the designers jobs to find a design that maintains the camaro's appeal while providing better visibility. I think they sort of dropped the ball here.
If you look at a 5th gen compared to the early camaros you can see that they can maintain the look by slightly lowering the "belt line" of the car also making for slightly larger windows with better visibility. I'm sure that this is possible if mustangs are able to get away with it.
