EPA rating for 2010 Camaro

My proforma invoice indicates the model is classified by EPA as "compact"

Is that what we call a sleeper?

LoL, compact... that is hilarious! Oh wait, so if I manage to park my Camaro in a 'compact only' spot, they can't legally tow me, score!

The EPA might be one of the most out of touch organizations in existence . . .

Wouldn't surprise me.

Insurance classifications are funny as well...our GMC Envoy is technically a "Sports Wagon" to them...

Having stood next to the car now, i can say it most assuredly is not compact.

Hope the insurance companies classify it that way too. Would be great.

Interior volume. I think the Accord is a fullsize car now. And the Fit has more space than the original Accords did.


I'll say it again: The EPA might be one of the most out of touch organizations in existence . . .

lol the Camaro being classified as a compact...

That's really funny. I know I have AAA auto insurance and they've classified some of the cars that we owned really weird. We had a minivan that was classified as a "wagon", but hey if the Camaro being classified as a compact means lower insurance rates then there's nothing wrong with that.
