I had zero difficulty knowing he was there at the last second and held in the middle until he passed. I saw him without turning me head (mirrors) and the warning alerted me.
If you like the car and want one, visibility isn't going to be an issue. It's just not traditional. If you don't like the car and have no intention to buy one, this will be on your otherwise short list of reasons.

Which is great for you.
I've always said it's great if you can adapt to the car. It's just many people who don't love a Camaro first won't think they have to.
But when we discuss the sales, no one is willing to admit that because you can adapt to it, some people feel they shouldn't have to.
Exactly like you said,
"if you like the car and want one, visibility isn't going to be an issue". Now think of the people that are just out shopping for an expressive coupe, which the Camaro is.
For me? I LOVE the car and wanted one in the worst way. I could get used to the visibility, although it is a big detractor. But Mrs. Number 3 can't. We've tried. And at this point I want a car she can enjoy as well.
I still need a trunk that my golf clubs fit in though. That's still my deal breaker that makes it a 3rd car like my Sky Redline was. And I don't have space for a 3rd car anymore. :(
