I was going to reply but @Mikthehun1 hit all the points I would. I guess in forum lingo that's a big ol +1 hereThe Camaro is ugly as hell. They looked at the already ugly 5th gen, and decided to double down. At a glance, they're hard to tell apart unless you know cars. Why would I want an ugly new car that looks like an ugly old car?
The interior is crap. Not just the "materials". It's uncomfortable and cramped. Nothing feels like it's in the right place, as if no time was spent on ergonomics at all. You spend 100% of your driving time inside the car, and the Camaro is not somewhere I want to be.
The ride and handling are too track focused. The Mustang is a daily driver, a cruiser, a road trip car. It also can do very well on track. The Camaro isn't comfortable to drive on normal roads. Even the track focused Mustang's I've been in are better on real roads. They went too far toward track toy, and forgot they were making a road car.
It's completely impractical. Not that the Mustang is a big SUV, but it at least has a usable trunk. I've also fit a full set of tires in the back. You literally can't in a Camaro. I don't believe in having a "beater". If I'm going anywhere, even the grocery store, I want to drive what I enjoy driving. The Camaro wouldn't cut it.
I'm also not a huge fan of GM. My wife and I have toyed around with the idea of getting a Corvette at some point. We decided that a Viper would be a better version of what we want in the Corvette. The same way the Mustang is the better version of what we would want in a Camaro. I just couldn't see myself in one. I also can't see out of it either
