Until you drive other sports coupes, you won’t see (no pun intended) just how bad the Camaro visibility is. If they do the same high belt line crap again, the 7th gen will fail. When I sit in a mustang I feel like I’m in a fish bowl. Same thing with a C6 corvette as it has a far lower belt line.

I can overlook poor visibility if I enjoy the car enough from a driving perspective, but most folks buying cars aren’t enthusiasts and if they feel like they are sitting in a bunker with slits for windows, they will pass on it again and it will get discontinued again.
I’ve been saying that for years. I can see what I NEED to see in the Camaro. I can see BETTER in a Mustang or Chargallenger. Setting mirrors properly eliminates the blind spots. And for some of us, letting the top down improves visibility a lot.
