However, you would think this Truck had awesome visibility when in fact it does not. The high back seat and B-pillar totally blocks out looking over your left shoulder so when backing out to go right as soon as you start to angle into the street there is no way to see traffic coming from the left. And no mirror adjustment will fix it.

And on the highway if the mirror isn't adjusted just perfect you have a huge blind spot that the only way you can avoid is put your nose right up to the window. I've never experienced such horrible visibility as I did in this little truck.

This is my first Camaro. I already know all of the horror stories about the poor visibility. But I made sure that I added the Convenience & Lighting Package and as long as I position my mirrors correctly so the driver and passenger mirrors see the cars driving in the lane over I will be fine.

I mean, how bad can it be?

I really wanted a Camaro. I made up my mind to accept whatever negatives there may be BECAUSE I want a really COOL car.

For people who complain about stuff, DON'T buy the car if it upsets you that much. Just stick with your Toyota and be happy.

I thought we were talking about visiblity..

Just pointing out that big windows and what may appear to be good visibility sometimes is not at all.

At least with the Camaro with properly adjusted mirrors and some seat time it's a non-issue.

However I hope, and think, I can get used to it.

Remember Chevy has stated that for any issues with visibility that the tech makes up for it (BLIS, Rear view camera, Cross traffic, etc).

I just sat in an 2015 for the first time. The view out the side and rear of the car were fine for me but the sightline out of the front was really low and i am only 5'11. I definetly would not be able to see a stop light. Just about 4 to 5 more inches of window would make a huge difference, or if the top of the windshield was not tinted it would be better. Its not enough to make me cancel my order though at all.

This is a trait I've seen in BMW M series owners, 911 owners and Corvette owners.

Yes. Unlike Mustang owners. Those guys are way more humble and mature...Just check out G6Ms VS section for proof...
