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. :(

We aren't discussing sales or trunk space. Visibility.
I can see where a very short person could have a problem seeing forward due to the low seating position and the high gauge pod. I'd also think they would have problems with many other cars too. I do not fit very well in a old Prelude or Miata.
I'm 6'-4" and the only adapting I had to do was accepting less light due to the high belt, low roof. Visabilty really, honestly, has never been a factor for me in this car. I have enough head room to fit my fist, knuckles up, between my head and roof and can wear a helmet without changing my normal seat adjustment.
I'm pleased they didn't give us this. Talk about accepting? ...that was my 04 GTO. Great coupe, great performance, bland as hell styling.
