Do you think the car is too big?

Love the grille, the wheels, the interior, the rear lights, the way the b pillars slice into the flared rear fenders. It's a well designed car. Granted I haven't seen the car in person, but in all the pictures I've seen where people are standing next to it, the car looks physically huge. The hood appears to be four feet off the ground, and then they added the hood scoop which makes the whole front end even more imposing. When viewed from the side, the car looks kind of "stubby". To me it appears that it would be difficult to see over the hood while you're in the drivers seat. Does anyone else think it's too big?

It will be bigger than your corvette, and probably feel bigger too. But as all the others have said, see it in person then make you're judgements then. I know that the Camaro's big sister (the G8) looks a bit stubby in pictures but when you see it in person its a much different car.

Its just the right size.

Not at all, it's smaller then my Saab in all measurments except the width (being actually wider there) and my Saab isn't exactly a huge car.

That's good to hear.

My simple answer would've been yes. But judging from a comparison of the dimensions to my own car, it's not much bigger. In fact I think it's an inch longer, but has a 3 inch longer wheelbase.


The only difference for me is that the car may have a more aggressive and blocky style which could make it appear larger. I like the looks though.
