Just got back from my honeymoon in the Florida Keys and had flown into and rented a car from Miami. I had reserved a Caddy CTS, which they of course didn't have on the lot--this is Avis. They offered me a DTS(no thanks, I'm not that old) or a 2010 Camaro. So, I took the Camaro, unfortunately it was not an SS, just the V6 automatic.
My impression of the car is that it really isn't that bad. I really disliked the styling of the car when I first saw it in pictures, but in person it looks much better. The proportions don't seem all that crazy. Sitting in the car was a bit strange at first--as the roofline is really low, giving an almost clausterphobic feel--which isn't helped by the fact that rear-quarter visibility is nil--just two large blind spots, and it is impossible to see the very rear of the car from the mirrors--which made parallel parking a bit tough.
Once I got the seat adjusted, the driver position was comfortable enough--except the high waistline of the car almost forced you to rest your free arm on the door rest, and not on the window opening.
The car was peppy enough to rip tire with or without the traction control enabled, and was good in passing on the highway and overtaking towed boats/RVs on US 1. One really nagging issue was that you can't see the light switch control as it is completely hidden by the steering wheel--which forced you to take your eyes off the road to find and activate it(dial control).
The automatic paddle shifters worked fine--much better than Audi tiptronics that I have driven, Fit and finish were good, no rattles or squeaks--doors opened wide--typical of the older F-bodies. It got a lot of looks and thumbs-up and was an overall decent car.
I would have to try a V8 before making a decision if I would ever lay out the cash for one, but I can see GM selling alot of these--especially once they become more common and the dealers drop their crazy mark-ups.
