Motortrend and jaopnik need to stick with the chevy cruze when it comes to testing a car. There is no way what so ever anything wrong with the visibility in the Camaro I mastered seeing out of it from the moment I stuck the keys in the ignition.

Love the color! Love the car! Not sold on the XM/OnStar fin! Please GM, take it off!

I agree...whats the big problem with the visibility? If you know how to drive...its hardly an issue.

I agree that the Onstar/XM sharkfin is a little out of place, but where else would they have put it? Also, consider me the only happy Camaro fan re: the car's weight. 4,116lbs is awesome. The Camaro is one big, safe beautiful car that performs excellent. It's Herculean dimensions and weight are much appreciated, at least until truck drivers drive sober, and soccer moms wielding 6,000lb SUV's are all finally prescribed valium. Edit: oh, and an LS3 with a Chevy Cruze strapped to it would be much appreciated, too. |

They were able to hide the radio antenna in the rear spoiler, you would think they could come up with another clever solution with the fin.?.?

I will never understand why Chevy went the tacky approach and slopped the third brake light on top of the trunk rather than slightly redesigning the spoiler (for so-equipped vehicles) to incorporate it much more cleanly. Heck, I think it'd even look better that way in the hard top variety.....
Oh well, beautiful car regardless.
