I'm one of the biggest advocates of improved visibility in the Camaro.

The Corvette (all of them) is a sports car. I'm more than willing to make trade offs like that for a sports car.

The Camaro, regardless of GM marketing (which calls it BOTH a Muscle Car AND a Sports Car to try and hit any base they can) is a sporty coupe and it needs to be a great coupe first and a performance car second. That's what I've said well before the Gen6 was ever introduced. Be a great coupe first. And it's not a great coupe. It's just the greatest Camaro ever made, but still a lousy coupe. And it's selling slower than the Fiat.

So yes, a true Sports Car and now pretty much a Super Car gets a pass from me for rearward visibility, and I haven't sat in one let alone driven one.
