and looking out from any window (windshield included) was like peering through the gun slots on a WWII bunker.
What's wrong with that?!? You ever driven a supercar? The view was like that on the TVR Cerbera that I drove, perfect! The TVR Cerbera sounds nice. But it, like the Camaro, doesn't fit into a world where the automotive appliance is king. ? This is a car for enthusiasts... Corolla drivers need not apply. The reason for the thin windows, is because tall windows look  on a sports car. Well, you don't. So... there's that. A vehcile needn't have windows the size of a bus to afford decent visibility.

I'd sat being able to see your surroundigs would be a plus in any vehicle - but particularly one with performance aspirations. I cringe at the thought of piloting this broad-of-beam beast through downtown Toronto, not being able to see approaching cyclists. Or approaching street cars, for that matter. It's not just the rear-view and side view that struck me as compromised - there wasn't much of a windshield to look out of, either.
And if the windows extended all the way down to your navel you'd be complaining about that too. The real issue is that this is just another opportunity for you to about a GM product. |

Wow - Greg B. jumping down the throat of someone who dares to be critical of a domestic product. What a shock.  And yes, I would be critical of navel-level windows as well. It is consistent with your usual silliness to suggest such a polar extreme as the only reasonable alternative. Jaeger |

The reason for the thin windows, is because tall windows look on a sports car. Who cares? Near enough everyone on this board it seems. Come to think of it, the last TVR interior I saw looked like too.  Yeah whatever...   |

It depends which one, Bob. I also saw one...(not sure what year..but it was older) and the interior was POS and nothing special. Definitely not anywhere near as nice as that pic you posted. |

I'm obviously not talking about every old TVR ever made now am I. I'm talking about the ones that didn't make it to Canada, the good ones...  |

The one I saw was from the late 90's early 2000? Who knows what interior was the last one he saw... |

Whatever turns you on.
I would prefer Erik's TVR pic followed by Bob's 1st pic if I had the opportunity to have a TVR. |

I just wanted add something regarding the V6 to V8 debate. With the introduction of direct injected engines I think we need to get past the stigma of a 6 cyl sports car. The 426 Horsepower V8 is great for the collector who is going to keep it in the garage and drive it on warm dry sundays. I have clients that have purchased the V8 as thier daily driver. 426 HP is a lot of HP to be driving every day. I also had a GT V8 Mustang with 280 HP and our Camaro V6 is 305.
To anyone looking do not get caught up with the term "V6". 305 HP is a lot and more powerful then most V8 sports cars on the road.
Check out my site. We have SS and 2LT models available and Coming:

Spamalamadingdong. That aside, I don't think the V6 Camaro need make any performance apologies. Jaeger |

Spam aside....the dealer near me..the one's I posted the pics for? They got ANOTHER V8 in..which sold almost immediately. And the other SS is gone. The only one still there is the V6...the car I thought would sell first. |

I just have to comment despite this topic not having been posted in at least 120 days. My family and I; myself - a sole proprietor of an in home bakery and catering service and now a paralegal program graduate; my 3 boys - 20, 18 and 12 have tested our 2010 camero RS to the max....now with 120,000 km of awesome driving behind us, through snow storms which shut down roads, 9 months of commuting from Palmer Rapids to Ottawa, lugging staff and everything from up to 3 full sized hockey bags to gourmet meals for large groups to countless 20kg bags of flour, sugar and the likes - this car does it all with the most satisfying ride - the awesome stereo, sunroof, leather bucket seats, rear wheel handling.....I can't go on enough about this car!!! I have ploughed the roads at 5am from my house to Renfrew but always made it home safe....and the gas mileage for the performance was incentive to leave my suv at home!! Hope they haven't messed with this one too much;  for as it was....I would buy it again in a heart beat!!! |
