I'm pretty sure many people bought these cause they looked better than most of the cars in the market at that price point.

Unless you're hardcore about gearing, weight, and all that jazz. Most people will gravitate to a certain car just cause the way it looks, cause they rather ride in something that looks good.

This.
I bought my Camaro because I think the 5th gen is the best looking car on the road. With the refresh it looks even better IMHO.
With all factors considered - looks, power, handling, MPG, etc. the V6 Camaro is a great car for daily driving.
I researched the options and made my decision.
I'm still happy with what I chose to buy.
If I didn't care about looks and just wanted raw power straight out of the box, I would have bought a Mustang or Challenger...

It's amazing how people will criticize without knowing the facts. A guy at my golf course was asking about my car and said he'd love to get one but when I told him what I paid for it he said with his budget, could probably only afford a V6. He sounded so disappointed until I told him the LFX engine was rated a 323 HP, and that the base 396s of the "old days" were rated at 325... he was amazed.

** Now I realize HP ratings are done differently today than they were back then, but nobody should feel their V6 Camaro is "all show and no go". I had a '12 LFX before I got my V8 and they certainly have plenty of GO! Be proud, OP. You've got one hell of a car!
