I drive one every day. I have never said “The visibility is fine if you use the cameras”. What I have said is the visibility is not the big deal that everybody who doesn’t drive one tries to make it. I have also been known to say I have driven other vehicles with much worse visibility.
Understood. And it'd be only a tiny bit different if you were driving a typical intermediate-size FWD sedan instead of a Camaro, and most of that would be from the difference in eye-level height.
Bologna is a bad sandwich. There's no question.
I disagree. I think you have become use to the enclosed feel.
Im not gonna lie, after driving a 16 camaro, then going to a daytlna 392 for 5 months, then test driving a s550 it felt really enclosed gettin into that s550, but i figure i will get use to it again real fast, thats one of the biggest things i hatrd about the charger 392, it felt like i qas in my wifes truck.
I'm sure that happens, and I'm equally sure that it's going to bother some people more than others. Especially initially, which would work against those new to considering a Camaro.
I have an interest in ALL cars and try to approach them as objectively and analytically as possible. That approach has fed my family and sent my kids to college
. Mustangs and Camaros happen to be among my favorites.
I don’t think anyone is saying your thinking is wrong. Your opinion just isn’t what the majority think. I traded a 5th gen Camaro. Because I hated the sight lines and the interior that damn much. Loved the rest of the car. LS3, design styling. And the 6th gen didn’t improve visibility. Even magazine reviewer that fawn all over the 6th gen gripe about the interior and sight lines.I have an interest in ALL cars and try to approach them as objectively and analytically as possible.

I must say it is a little pretentious of you to "disagree" with what I see everyday, as if I am wrong in thinking I see what I see. Especially when you yourself have no real point of reference. And as for the "become used to the enclosed feel".... On any given day I drive any one of four vehicles in my household. Only one is a Camaro. There is ZERO adjustment that I need to make for visibility going from any one vehicle to another. Z...E...R...O
In the picture below, my front tires are on the white line. This is representhative of over 90% of the intersections I travel through. So what is the visual problem again?
The visible field from the Mustang cockpit is broader and you can see more. Doesn't make the Camaro field of view subpar or dangerous. I see more than I need to see from the Camaro. I see a bit more than that from the Mustang. One is better. Neither is bad.
Fair enough. The way it was worded led me to believe otherwise, but it's really no bother. For the sake of fairness, here's pretty much my worst case situation. Now, for this shot I pulled the phone back and down a bit, until it was literally touching my nose, so it shows part of my dash. When I snapped the pic, I could not see the RED light but I could clearly see the GREEN (the important one) and part of the YELLOW.
If the visibility out of the Camaro is worse than the average car on the road then it, by definition, is sub-par.I have an interest in ALL cars and try to approach them as objectively and analytically as possible. That approach has fed my family and sent my kids to college

It absolutely is, but it's not enough where major driving adjustments have to be made.
