In my never-ending strive to find the right car, I get a hankering to drive the new Camaro. I've read various reviews on them, but a retro American pony car was never on my wish list, but it's fun to drive new cars, none the less.
It definitely looks retro, like Dodge Challenger a bit. A bit more edgier than a Mustang. It has a high beltline, and when I fist sat in it, I was way too low. Luckily, the seats had a nice manual height adjustment and visibility was not bad, better than a 370Z. I did feel more confined with the seemingly short cockpit. the dash looked retro-ugly and the steering wheel's odd shape turned me off too. It was an automatic with paddle shifters and 3.6L V-6 pumping out 304hp.
Sorry for the glare in the photos from my iPhone, but it was around noon and I was at a bad angle. Anyway, It's got good rear end looks. But overall, nothing impressed me. I guess you have to be a Camaro fan.
