Ironically...90% of the commentary on this very website (well, Camaro5.com) for the past 5-6 years has been incorporated into the new car. Spend any significant time in one, and an experienced Camaro driver can't help but see this is true.

They even improved on the "visibility issue" compared to the last generation. But the designers and engineers are far wiser than some posting in this thread - because they know better than to compromise the design of the car for the sake of percieved outward visibility that nobody apparently cared enough about to buy a competing car: It's been the best-selling sporty coupe for the past 5 years. That is, until everyone started waiting for the new one.

I can agree with the above statement so long as I point out the specified direction of "rear". That tiny-ass rear window got tinier...and skinnier...I'm not entirely sure why.

I haven't actually driven a Stingray...but I wonder for a silly comparison's sake, if it's any better to see out the back than the 6th gen.

The rest of directions, front, and side-to-side: it has improved. I don't own a '16...yet...but I'm 1000 miles confident in my statement.
