On a scale of 1-10.....

...how do you rate the current Camaro on your personal approval scale? 10 being cosmic prefectitude and 1 being abysmal disappointment.

(This point of view is from a daily cruiser point of view) I had a V6 Auto 2LT for a weekend. I really loved the car. It was a great cruiser, on the outside it looked amazing, and got a lot of looks despite the car being almost a year old now. I liked the interior as well. The digital MPH read out in the middle is a great convience. The Boston sound system was top notch. It was good on gas too. Performance wise, I was really shocked how quick (not fast) the V6 performed, I mean it was responsive on the gas peddle, and surprisingly the paddle shifters worked pretty darn good as well.

Only real drawback I had with the car, was the visibilty. I presume after a longer time, I would of gotten used to it, but in my weekend with it. I missed parking spots, and had to open the door to see out the rear to get out of the driveway. 9 out of 10.

If only I could get an SS for weekend........

It has its strengths and its weaknesses. There really isn't anything to say that hasn't been already

5, because it best represents the pro/con balance IMO. Major strengths, major weaknesses.

How do you feel? What's it missing to be a 10?

I gave it a 6 which I feel is pretty fair. It was one of the few cars that I was considering selling my GTO for, until I sat it in. I could not sit in a car with that interior day after day. The external looks are amazing though and it handles well for its size. Not a bad car, but it is not for me.

Some minor interior tweaks and perhaps it could be a bit smaller, however overall its near perfect IMHO.

I wonder if the car had been a 9.5 for me, if it still would be a 9.5 for you. That is to say, what if it had addressed my personal desires, would that alter your love for the car.

My impression is, no it wouldn't, and Chevy would have two passionate advocates for the car instead of one.

Voted 9

Only draw back to the car at this time is the passenger seat being too low for my short wife.

8 - Im a 69 camaro nut. The car captures alot of that but looses a little in the grill which looks a little thick. Also the Bling 20 in wheels I dont like. Id trade them for wider stylish 17 - 19 inch rims. even in the same style.

For me personally, probably yes most likely, just based solely on the fact that youre a 3rd Gen nut and I dont like the 3rd gen aside from the 88 Trans Am and surprisingly your black 3rd Gen. Also while I like the 3 series I think the 1 series is a clown car and I remember you considering that.

never know. You cant convince me though, that if the 5th gen had been a perfect 10 cosmeticly that you wouldnt be talking about weight. I call BS
