I've been reading this site for any new news several times a week since the 06 Concept was released. And now that we are nearing production, and after seeing that beautiful front end on the pre-production model, i've finally decided to join up.

All that i have to say is, beautiful, i love it, i want it. And can't wait to get it!

Scott, and to the other hard working people at GM on this project, keep up the great work and dont stop. Fantastic work.

Its a matter of opinion.

I prefer my 4th gens over my old Iroc any day of the week.

Not really its a matter of Comfort.
I am 5'3 which means I have to move the seat forward to the point of almost touching the wheel to just be able to reach the pedels.

of course I am also overweight (which I am working on) which means the seat belt if it does go all the way around me is Tight & I cant really move.

In my iroc I can sit comfortable & have no problems getting the seat belt around me So I can drive in Comfort, same wiht my truck (since the belts are in the seats it self) & my buick Its not a problem either.

06+ Civics are like that too. If anything, a little more extreme still.

Why would everything else suck once you get used to driving the 4th gen? is the 5th gen going to suck too?

Why is it that there are so many people on this board who have nothing better to do then make a big deal out of nothing.

I was basically expressing My opinion. Maybe I should edit it so that people may understand it better. Or maybe its just that people have nothing better to then to attempt to start trouble and try to be comedians.
You failed at being a comedian. Go start trouble somewhere else.

No, really.

My opinion is that its comfortable. Your opinion that it isnt. Still a matter of opinion.

Of course this post is a matter of opinion. LOL

Its subjective...there..Hows that?

Compared to my Charger, the visibility out of my 4th Gen Trans Am is MUCH better at stop lights. (only drawback to the Charger.)

Sine the preproduction is so close to the concept, this may still apply...

Yes, you can see the hood of this car from the driver's position as opposed to the raking hood of a 4th generation f-body that immediately disappears after the windshield cowl. You can see just enough of the cowl induction hood and bulging front fender to get a great feel of the overall length of the car. It all gently drops away to the grill just enough to where the hood doesn't seem too long. As a result, the view from the driver's seat is just right. It looks and feels like a Camaro should.
This is from our test drive of the Camaro Concept, you might want to read the whole thing here. Even if you have read it before when it was written, it now seems to paint a better picture of what we can actually expect from the production car.

Hell ya! Your singing my song! 3rd gens will always be my first love. The seating position is better than any car ive EVER sat in. if you havent taken a 10 hour road trip in one you really should, they are extremely comfortable.

I can see the hood of my 4th-gen when I'm driving. I'm only 5'8".

Not that it matters.

Do you have your seat in a higher (and typically more proper) position than most? I am about the same height as you are, I sit relatively normal (a bit low, mildly pimpin') and the only part of the hood I saw was the trailing edge for the most part.

I sit pretty far forward (about 1.5" from all the way forward), but the seat is as low as it goes.

I'll have to sit in yours one day to see if I have the same view. Maybe you are just weird. Either that or I am...tough to tell...
