Most conscientious consumers with aptitude realize that the man is saying that the Camaro...based on the geographic conditions is well...as stated.

Would your opinion change if he stated "The Camaro SS, Not the Most Practical for The Narrow Roads of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest"? Or "The Camaro SS Not the Most Practical Car for the $8.59 per gallon cost of fuel in (Belgium, Netherlands, Greece, Germany Sweden) etc"

It is an opinion...not Camaro bashing..
Bah. Name anywhere on earth that isn't a racetrack or allows unlimited speed that a high performance car is more practical than a 4-cylinder AWD station wagon.

It has nothing to do with Seattle.

A Camaro is less "practical" even in flat states with under 5 inches a year rainfall.

If he knew anything about driving at all, he could have figured that out just by reading both brochures. No "test" is necessary.

To "test" a 1LE stick shift car, he would have had to do performance testing. My guess is he would have soiled his undergarments shortly afterwards.

He didn't even check braking distances, which is something important in all regions.
