I was gonna get an SS 5th Gen but I didn't like sitting in it. I have long legs and arms. When I had the seat adjusted so my legs felt comfortable the shifter felt like it was a mile away.
For the Money you spend on the SS 5th Gen you can By a 4th Gen do some mods and make yourself a unique car that looks and performs better than a
5th Gen.
But eveyone has there opinion. They are nice but I perfer a Trans am or SS
4th Gen.
Edit Add-on: New bumper options may change my opinion on the exterior but I still don't like the interior layout.

AS a matter of fact, lowering a car a 1" can make it look a lot different.
Take NewEdge for example. HORRIBLE 4x4 type gaps between the wheel and fender. But once you lower it, it actually looks better. I've seen PLENTY of cars I preferred lowered to stock. The 4th gens however, I liked either way.

Sorry didnt mean to come of that way. You're entitled to your opinion, we all have one. I too think that an inch or two can make a car look a whole lot better, in fact i lowered my 03 cobra 2 inches and made it look really nice. But to me a car that isn't lowered isnt something that would make me not like it cuz for a couple hundred dollars you can make it look the way you want.

Regarding stock 4th and 5th gens, I personally always felt that my 95 Formula and my 00 T/A looked like I could go offroading whenever I wanted until lowering them slightly, so I don't think it's just the new Camaro though I do agree they both look better lowered

false.... i dont know of ANY rwd v8 gm vehicle made after 1990 that looks better at its stock 4x4 height.
and for all the great things the 4th gen brought to the automotive world, looks werent one of them. the 5th gen has a look which people like worldwide and is very marketable. couple that with a v8 you have a vehicle which is doing gm justice. my 2cents.

b/w bringing the camaro back, the movies which opened up a whole new audience to not only the camaro but GM...
leave the country and speak to corvette/ Cadillac/ used import gm dealers outside of the country and ask them about the new camaro and its demand to be imported there. I've done it and its nice to hear how much they want it. last time i heard demand like that over there was for the c6 z06.

Most people overseas I talk to are all about Audis, BMWs, and other exotics. Rarely does any domestic product in the US get mentioned. I've heard Vipers get mentioned from time to time.

i mean here you might see a 2010 mustang everywhere and its like what ever. but to import one to finland or buy a 5th gen camaro in germany is something special. those are exotics due to how rare they are.
this is me speaking from my time in the nordic countries. but people still buy m5's 911s etc.

GM sells the Camaro in Europe, as well as in Japan. Japan had something like 40,000 pre-ordered. They will build over 100,000 new Camaros the first year. It was also designed in Australia by the Holden design group.
So yes, it is indeed enjoyed world-wide.

When i first spoke to some dealers about the 5th gen this was back in 09 i think before European deliveries were set to start and the financial crisis but a hold on any new vehicles being at dealers in sweden.
they were telling me of thousands of pre-orders just sitting for even used ones once they got available. These days to make a buck you need to sell a vehicle globally. this 5th gen is doing that.

the only way i would consider buying a camaro is if it looked like the transformers 2 car with the hood scoop and front fascia . it really irks me that the after market is huge already and these cars haven't even been out a year. i can't imagine the next couple years. it goes up my *** that all these twin screws, other FI setups are easy to throw on these cars with no prob. ill wait a few years an see what happens. i have a rule "never by brand new cars"
