i guess you could argue the 5thgen was a little larger,(2 inches in length) but certainly none of the other gens was a large muscle car.
I consider gen 2 & 3 to be large cars, but the rear seats are anything but.

And even if you wanted to call the Camaro a muscle car, by the time Gen 3 rolled off the line, that era was long over.

they were not large cars. the 2nd gen started out the same length as the 6thgen, and got larger because the bumpers changed, and the 3rd and 4th gens had long sloping noses. the back seats were anything but popular with adults.

You can parse and debate definitions all you want

The Camaro got smaller and more track focused. (That means it was "LARGER before")


That put it in direct competition with the Corvette.

Thats undeniable.

Carry on...

Gen5 was the Zeta architecture same as the SS sedan and Chevy PPV. Was also going to be a Cadillac DTS replacement and Zeta1 was a Buick in China. All HUGE cars.

Gen6 was the Alpha architecture. ATS/4 AND CTS/5. Much smaller and lighter. CTS suffered for sharing the Alpha architecture compared to a BMW 5 Series.

I had always hoped for an Omega based Camaro. Size of Zeta with the weight of Alpha.
