When you talk face-to-face with the designer, he freely admits he was unable to deliver good visibility/utility.
That's just plain incompetence.
A GREAT CAR delivers good visibility, utility, comfort, and looks with NO EXCUSES.
When I politely, but firmly, stated this fact, he blamed his failure on the "camaro fans" who demanded a "camaro look".
That's just plain BS.
GM fans like me who have been buying V8 stickshifts from GM for the last 3 decades may, or may not, continue to buy.
But, GM needs to be INCREASING MARKET SHARE by delivering GREAT cars that are appealing to ALL potential customers, and not just worry about what the designer ASSUME the "camaro faithful" want.
A GREAT CAR delivers good visibility, utility, comfort, and looks with NO EXCUSES.
Build a GREAT car, and it will sell.
Offer a pushrod V8 combines with a performance transmission in a GREAT car, and the "camaro fans" will buy it.
The $xxx,xxx that I have spent on GM vehicle in just the last few years proves that I am a GM fan.
But, the blind fan boy defensiveness of many in the GM community does everyone a disservice, it's transparent, and it's just annoyingly pathetic.
GM needs to continue to improve without excuses, or my 2016 SS will be my last GM purchase after being a loyal new GM buyer for 3 decades. I'm hoping that GM fastracks a Alpha SS Sedan to be made available ASAP with a base MSRP comparable with a 1SS. If so, I will trade my 2016 Camaro SS for one ASAP.
