I do think it blows the 5th gen away in every other category.
It will be interesting to see how sales go in the coming months.

It really had such a solid, wonderful feel. The Alpha underpinnings really shone through on a short drive.
If I had space for a 3rd car without parking something in the driveway? It would be a different story. But as a DD, I need to have my clubs in the trunk everyday in the summer and I need to see where I'm going and what's around me.
Honestly, in all the 5th Gens I've driven, all belonging to GM, I never tried to parallel park one. Just never felt comfortable. The Gen 6 is even worse. Even if it can park itself, which my SS can do, I want to see what's going on around me.
I can assure you it will sell well for all the reasons the Gen 5 sold well. Most of the bad marks are only slightly worse. And the positives? Handling, acceleration, braking? All improved in noticeable ways. And as many suggest, isn't THAT why you buy a Camaro?
Will it sell 150,000 units like the Mustang has been? That I just don't know. It needed to be a really great coupe to do that, and I just don't think it is.
You know my thoughts......make a great coupe and then a great Camaro. GM made a great Camaro first and the coupe part suffered a bit more than I was hoping.
