2016 Alpha platform Camaro

Yeah, wrapping the entire dash and the full door like they do in the C7 would easily add another grand to the base price.

In reality, though, it's no big deal. You literally have to reach up over the dash to feel any hard plastic, and if you've sat in the new Camaro you'll know you really have to put in an effort to reach up over the dash.

Finally drove a 2SS manual with magnetic ride and dual-mode exhaust. Wow.

Trust me, I really want to lie to you bro, I do... but... I am in love.

The only thing I didn't like is the visibility, but I think I'd get used to that after a couple days.

I think what amazed me the most was that setting it to "Tour" mode basically turned it into a Cadillac with great handling.

If it makes you feel any better, I don't think I'm going to be buying one. At least not right now. My wife wants an X5, so I think I'm going to trade the Z and drive our 335i for a while. I want to see what happens with the ZL1/Z28 and GT350.

Then again, if she said "lets get a Camaro today" I'd run back to the dealership and put my order in.

She is not a Camaro fan, though. Just the other day she was saying things like:

"Camaros are shameful"

and

"What do you do when someone asks what kind of car you drive? Admit you have a Camaro?"

It's definitely a better response the having to admit you bought a Ford

Or the delusional rhetoric that the Genesis coupe is 90% Z.

Lol. Depending on what they do with the Genesis brand and the car it might be a real contender but then if Nissan does it right and give us twin turbos then we have a battle going on.

UNKNOWN_370 · 12-29-2015, 09:15 PM

The Genesis coupe won't be a contender to a Z. It will against the Q60.it's going much more upmarket and won't be a bargain version.
I think Kia will be attempting a Z type competitor?

Camaro v6 review.

It doesn't have an active exhaust on this tester and still sounded amazing. I hope they make a track version of the v6? It's just too good to stay as just a commuter car thru the life cycle.
