Now, a bit off the current topic: any word on pricing for the various trim levels?

And I'm disappointed with the power levels in the 2.0L Turbo trim. The least they could do is give it equivalent power to the STI (which has AWD, 4drs, H4 turbo for low $30k's for base model) for similar weight.

Now the 6cyl & 8cyl.... ohhhh baby!

Still too early on the pricing. I'm sure we'll hear about it relatively soon because these are supposed to start rolling out in Fall.

Jesus that's one sexy car. lol

Like others, outward visibility is the primary reason I didn't even bother to start the engine on the current Camaro, let alone bother with a test drive. If they fix that and make it smaller and lighter.. hmmm

Too bad they didn't.

Focus RS or M2... hmm..

I'll never own a modern VAG product. Shitty materials that fall apart way to quickly and retarded engineering decisions (shockingly worst than BMW!).

The Jaguar XK has had it since 2007. The Mustang has had it since 2010.

To all the people complaining heavily about the rear visibility of the camaro, drive an X6 then get back to me. Trust me it's far from the worst. Also, I think they're hinting at something here.... You're driving a Camaro, why on earth would you need to see out the rear (it's a joke, don't stab me).

DarkSunrise · 05-20-2015, 07:02 AM

The beltline of the new Camaro does seem really high, but it's one of those things where I need to drive it to see how I feel. For now, I'm just glad Chevy hit on the other areas (weight, size, interior). And re-designed the gauge cluster.

The camaro is a HORRIBLE car. No suprise that they hardly sell any

I know you normally try to start things in most of your replies, and I guess I'm falling for the troll bait.

Whether you think the car is horrible or not is your own opinion, but they have sold remarkably well. They've lost a lot of sales in 2015 to the new-generation Mustang, which is understandable until the new-generation Camaro comes out. Then it will probably even back out.
