We found the handling, ride and brakes exceptional. The styling is stupendous. Inside, the the instrumentation slips back into GM's too-hard-too-break habit of trying too hard to be clever with gauges.
The Camaro LS and LT models use a potent and sweet-sounding Cadillac V6 that makes 304 horsepower, with a six-speed manual transmission standard and six-speed automatic (with semi-manual shifting) optional.Option packages LT2 ($2,700) and SS2 ($3,185) include heated mirrors and seats, nine-speaker, 245-watt audio system, Bluetooth and USB port, leather shift knob and steering wheel with audio controls, remote starting, and console mounted gauges including oil temp and pressure, volts and transmission fluid temp; the LT2 package also includes 19-inch painted aluminum wheels. A sunroof ($900) is optional. Also available are 20-inch painted aluminum wheels and an RS appearance package.When you look down on the new Camaro from a balcony, you see the lines of the 1963 fastback split-window Corvette. This is as planned by its young designer, Sang Yup Lee, who came to the U.S. from Korea as a boy and grew up in the California car culture. There are subtle twin-cockpit humps on the hood, that can be glimpsed at the top of the steeply raked 67-degree windshield, helping to produce a 0.37 Cd in the LS and LT, and 0.35 in the SS.The interior materials of the new Camaro are good, but the design doesn't rise to the level of the exterior. The instrumention leaves something to be desired, with recessed speedo and tach stylized in square chrome housings, a nod to the classic Camaro interior. But that was 1967. However, back then they didn't have LED light pipe technology, an ambient light option that gives the cabin a warm glow.
The stitched leather wrap on the steering wheel is nice, although the three-spoke design doesn't make you say wow. The cloth bucket seats are comfortable, with decent bolstering, although we wonder if it's enough to keep an aggressive driver in his or her place during hard cornering. The front seat slides 8.5 inches and the steering wheel tilts and telescopes, so drivers of all sizes will fit; based on Camaro sales history, lots of women buyers are anticipated. The standard cloth upholstery is good, with excellent leather on available in black, gray, beige and two-tone Inferno Orange.
The climate control buttons on the center stack don't seem to be designed for ease of touch, but for looks. However we've touched worse. And those four gauges down on the center console forward of the shift lever are an affectation; they're optional, but most Camaros will probably have them. The center console and armrest is nice, solid, and handsome in leather.
Visibility through the windshield is good despite the long hood and raked windshield, thanks to careful location of the driver's seat. Rear visibility over the driver's shoulder isn't very good, but then it's impossible to make it good with a roofline this sporty. Ferraris don't have good rearward vision, either.
The trunk is deep but the opening isn't large and it's almost flat, but it's worth it for the handsome rear deck. Good thing there's a pass-through to the trunk behind the rear seat, which isn't easy to crawl into, and feels a bit like a pit.
The rear seat legroom measures 29.9 inches, a distinction, as few cars today break below that 30-inch mark. In other words, you'll want to avoid sitting back there.The new Camaro succeeds on all the main fronts: drop-dead gorgeous looks, potent and efficient engines borrowed from Cadillac and Corvette, great transmissions, superb handling and ride, and great prices. The only area where GM might have missed is the instrumentation, as it lacks the tidiness of the rest of the car.
