Well, cased closed. GM listened to user feedback like this, and this is why we have visibility issues. People aren't willing to have the roof raised 1 inch or the belt line dropped 1 inch.

There are bubble cars like that you can purchase if visibility is a major concern. For me it really isn't an issue at all. It looks the guy that designed the Cruze slept with the designer of the Camaro and their kid designed it.

Call me crazy, but I think the revised image looks a bit more like the 1969 Camaro (which I had back in the day). I kind of like it and I'm sure the visibility would be greatly improved without making it look like an AMC Pacer...

That is FUGLY. I looks like the offspring of a 2016 Camaro and a 1978 Pacer X.

Not even close. May you need some of these

These sales threads are always very interesting to me. This one is on a new level. Funny thing is that can anyone actually proove that the visibility conerns are affectting the out of the gate sales?

To be honest, I love the gen 6 Camaro's but with the pricing I've considered getting a 15' Mustang.

I can understand your concerns if you are interested in the V8. The other engine options match up better price wise, with the Camaro seemingly being the better value. You get more car for the money.

I highly doubt visibility has affected sales of the 6th gen... My guess would be spotty availability nationwide, and maybe price.

Styling might be a factor, since the "average" person has Mr. Magoo-itis and can't tell the difference between 5th and 6th gen.
However, when these same people look at the new interior, they would have to notice the night vs. day improvements that have been made.

Could be, they are few and far between here. Out of three local dealers only one has one and it just showed up last week.

Anything looks like a "bubble car" when your definition of a normal roof height is something that looks like a chop top. Pretend the car on the left is a standard 69 Camaro and the one on the right is photoshopped.
