The Camaro makes a bad first impression because the roof is low. As someone that has driven one every day for 3-1/2 year, I can say I never think about visibility other than judging were the right front tire is in a tight parking garage.
The sensation inside is different. Visibility is not a problem. Even seeing stop lights are not an issue

It is funny you mentioned that dealers wouldn't budge but now there is money on the hood. My local chevy dealers are offering big money off on Camaros lol

Its possible to make more money by selling less.
The company I'm with (20 years) is going through a similar transformation. In the past it was all about being the volume leader. Now the focus is on the quality of the sale. The low volume models on the
low or high end of the price spectrum isn't where the money is made. Its in the middle.
Why does GM "brag" about ATP? Why does Ford brag about volume?
