Sounds like the only thing he cares about cars is size, he sure would love a mini van.
It's large, great view, only 10 seconds slower than any sports car 0-60, and the handling don't matter anyway. Of course anything sits on an almost 20 years old overweight Mercedes chassis will be his pick That large body sure didn't hold up to the crash test

I'm a Challenger driver since 2009, put everything in it: supercharger, suspension, tires, exhaust, gears, converter, tune.... even with a suspension, the Challenger has a WAY better ride. Even with a suspension and summer tires, the Challenger is not toss-able in any type of driving. Fuel economy is way better in the Camaro. The Challenger is way more comfortable to sit in, the Camaro has way tighter fitting seats for autoX.

I cross shopped Challengers for a long time while I waited to see the new 6th gen. In a nutshell. I think it would have been perfect for my Dad. More about presence than performance but has better comfort and is more spacious. It only has the HP and TQ if you get the scat pack or SRT. The base model hemi would probably have its hands full with a V6 gen 6 camaro.
I like the car but its just not a good fit for my tastes. Truthfully if I was in the market for a Challenger I would just go ahead and buy a Charger. Same powertrain but I think it is a much higher performer in the performance sedan segment than the Challenger is in the Pony/Sports car segment. Essentially it seems like this guy is just another youtuber looking for clicks by stating polarizing opinions that are likely to get his video shared or linked to.

He said the Camaro was ****ing ugly so why would he even test drive the car, just because he thought the interior was going to blow him away? what a joke.

I still like the Challenger, but I have to say in the picture you posted the Camaro does look better, and performance wise we know the Camaro beats it hands down. |

Meh.
If people all like the same thing we would have one model sedan, one model coupe, a van and a pickup. I had to go in into the Dodge/Jeep dealer the other day to check on something while driving the Camaro. More than one sales person came out to scope it out. One guy made the smart ass comment he'll "do me a favor" by letting me trade for a Challenger SRT that day. I made the smart ass comment back " sure as soon as you show me how the top folds down". He gave me a you can't be serious blank stare. I gave him a yes I'm serious raised eyebrow. He walked away silently.

Thanks! The Challenger is a good looking car, but has a lot of flat panels. It's not nearly as aggressive looking as the current Camaro.

The man is 5' 10"' 205 lbs and says he can't fit in the car. He obviously lacks the IQ to adjust the seat so I stopped watching there.
Bottom line: if people want to make an issue of size or visibility it will be one because their mind is already made up. I'm 6' 4", 225 lbs and there is more leg adjustment than I can use and Im able to wear a helmet and still have clearance without moving the seat from my normal driving position. Properly adjusted mirrors with the blind spot and avoidance systems is so good that I never turn my head and the high definition back up camera makes me more comfortable backing into a parking spot because I don't want to bump my front fascia extension.

This guy is really hung up on the size of the car, but I have a hard time accepting a sporty muscle car that is 198" long. I shopped the Challenger, Mustang, and Camaro. I drove an SRT8 Charger for three years. For all that exterior size, the back seat still wasn't that spacious. The Dodges are comfortable and fast but you never want to toss it into a turn. I didn't buy the Camaro for the back seat and the front is fine for someone that is 6'1" and 220 lbs. There's no reason to bash any of these cars. I'd like to have one of each!

If you took away the names of the cars and let them be Car 1 and Car 2...they wouldn't be competitors.
Challenger is a really nice and big grand touring type of car. Camaro is now a sports car with back seats.
