I wouldn't let what other people say influence your decision. It's your money and if the Camaro is the car you want then go for it!!
I've had my Camaro since 8/09 and I have 23k miles on it so that should tell you how much I enjoy this car. EVERY car has it's pros and cons and this car is no different but it has more upside than down. I don't regret my purchase for a minute. Do what you think will make you happy and to hell with what other people say.
