I learned the hard way that a large fast food soda with a straw in it will also not fit through the window. Fortunately it was Coke Zero.

I just don’t understand why someone would buy a car but they don’t like how it looks lol … because of the name/heritage? Those are just some weird reasons to get a Camaro if you hate the styling. Who wants to hate the sight of their car everytime they are about to get in it.

I keep looking at my car through my window when it’s just parked there looking so pretty and I fall in love all over again.

Also, I do love the Corvette style now, to each their own, that’s why there are so many car brands and models out there

I’d say sell the Camaro and buy something you love

My protein shaker bottle doesn’t even fit in the cup holder. I still love my car but would be nice to have decent cup holders

Human thinking isn't the same across people. Take for mustang owners who see no problem paying A LOT more for a "limited edition" model like a Boss 302, GT350, or a Mach 1(priced significantly more than the $ value of the extra parts you are getting) simply because "it's special." That's like saying if you are contemplating buying a mustang GT, the value needs to be there, but the minute you contemplate an option model higher than a GT, all pricing concerns go out the window. Feels like these folks have simply been influenced by the marketing.

I'm not trying to take anything away from how good the 302, GT350, Mach 1 is. Just that pricing considerations seem to take a back seat at that point to the marketing auroa.

I'm practical to the end, so will likely never be willing to overpay for a car, no matter how well it performs or how good it looks. And inevitably that's why I'm tracking a Camaro instead of the other options.

I didn't buy mine because it was a Camaro. I studied the car, drove it and liked it.

This, I wanted a V8 with some back seats, I wanted it to have a Tremec, I wanted something that came with oil, trans, and diff coolers OEM, I wanted something that would handle just as good or better than my 370z and I wanted something reasonably priced.

My Camaro SS checked off all the boxes and I absolutely love it.

I don't think so. Automotive design and engine configurations are primarily driven by government mandates. That's why the V-8 is getting killed. It has nothing to do with buyer choice or preferences, or manufacturer choices and preferences.

Ordinary people are viewed as little children by the government. Once government whittles down our choices, then the consumer will make his choices from the available options.

Little Johnny might want a hamburger for lunch, but Mommy offers only PB&J or mac and cheese. When he chooses PB&J, Mommy says that's his favorite.
