Rented a Charger once, and regretted it so badly. BRZ was in for repairs and I thought I might enjoy renting what I thought was a classic muscle car. Had no muscle and no suspension worthy enough for hairpins. Wallowing pig. Been in the 5th Gen Camaro SS. Great car. This one looks like it'll be even better.

The sad thing is that I know I won't be getting it. I'm keeping the BRZ, and our next car will have to be an economical (not necessarily economy) 4dr sedan or 5dr hatch for the wife. And she wants the new Malibu hybrid, an Altima, a CX-5, or something similar.

My soon to be wife loves the CX-5. After seeing reviews, and test driving the 2015 and 2016 models, we definitely want one. Being tall, I put that front seat all the way back and was ready to nap in that seat. Very comfortable, and the infotainment system in all the Mazda's is awesome with the knob to control it all. Very good value for the money.

I convinced my mother to look at some other cars last year when she decided it was time for a new Forester. She ended up with buying a CX5 Gran Touring after we test drove basically every SUV under $30k. She likes it, but if it was my money, I'd have gotten a Forester XT, which is smaller, more comfortable, and much faster for the same money.

16 Camaro looks meh. Hard to say how it'll be until they announce pricing we get to see how the new suspension is.

No argument about that from me. Both my parents have CX-5's and they love them. Subaru definitely needs to up its game with the Forester if they don't want Mazda to completely own them in the small SUV market.

Lol fair point. My side view visibility wasn't awful in the maro... then again I'm an average 5"10. I can image someone 6'2 and up would have issue.

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.

McDonald's sells a lot of hamburgers, I still don't think they are better than most of the competition. Try again

No.

The camaro sells well with middle-aged women and soccor moms who don't know much about cars. I expect it to continue selling well. Same goes for challengers and chargers. Mustang has a wider audience, still a crap car imo.

I never said you thought they were better than the competition. I was just refuting your comment of them not selling well. Whether you like the car or not doesn't matter to me. And yeah, most owners are middle aged men and women. That's why I prefer to hang out with Camaro car clubs way more than 86 or Scion clubs.

The V6 Mustang and V6 Mustang convertible are driven by a ton of middle-aged women. Same goes for the Camaro.

Instead of calling everything a crap car, why don't you state what you think is an awesome car so we can shit all over it?

Agreed. A lot of the meets I go to I'm usually the oldest and I am only 31.

Im excited to see the new Camaro.

Although I cant say I wont be just a little disappointed if they actually do everything they claim.

Why? Because it wont leave much of a performance gap between the new Camaro SS and my C7 Vette!

Sounds familiar with the 4th gen. History may repeat itself!

GM announced a $175,000,000 investment in the Grand Rapids plant to bring production of the Camaro back to the US for the first time in 23 years:

I guess we can't laugh to ourselves anymore when Camaro guys yell at us for driving foreign cars.
