Amazing write-up Joe! It truly is so nice to hear such positive words written so well, especially in light of some of the recent complaints about the car from some members and more annoyingly, the press... Statements like yours just bring it all back, and it reminded me of all my "firsts" with this car: the first time I saw the concept, the first time I saw it in Transformers in the tunnel *drool*, the first time I saw pics of the production version and how close it was to the concept, the first pics I saw of the amazing interior, the first time I saw it in person and sat in it, the first time I test drove a V6, and the first time I drove mine, off the lot and into the wild...

There truly is so much pride in this car. In owning it, in seeing it, in driving it, even in just hearing and talking about it. And as you said, the many complaints out there, I truly just can't understand. I completely relate to your comparisons to the Cobalt, as that was MY last car too, an '06 LT 2-door. I liked that car a lot, but there is simply no comparison. Again I agree with you. I think the visibility is actually better! You really do get used to the Camaro. I also drive an '07 Impala for my police cruiser, and I honestly think the Camaro's visibility is remarkably close, especially considering the difference in glass size and amount. The seats, as you said, are perfect, and I'm not a large person either... 6' and 215 pounds, with an athletic build with little fat, and the seat just hugs me.

Again, thank you so much for your encouraging and inspiring words. Your letter should go to some of these big-market, new car mags who haven't seen the light. This Camaro truly is world class. I am SO VERY proud to own a Camaro and a Chevrolet, and I let everyone know it!!
