I was able to drive the 2016 Camaro SS coupe a couple of days ago. It's a beast with a V8 engine and 455hp that makes it very fun to drive. It is the 6th generation revamped American muscle car with less weight (200lbs lighter), a sleek look, and performance that can't be found at this price point (under 37k when released). The only given thing is, fuel economy isn't that great. Due to my conservative driving skills, I averaged 22 MPG during my 100 mile run whereas it's quoted to have 19 MPG averaged over highway and local streets. Additionally, the car's designers thought that window real estate wasn't a priority. I was constantly checking for other cars as the slit-like rear view mirror and narrow side mirrors make you feel that you don't have a good view. It made me paranoid, but got used to it with more time spent with the car. It would also be nice if the front screen could be adjusted upwards for tall drivers, as I felt that the touch screen was angled for shorter drivers. There were other small, but noticeable differences. The middle part of main instrument panel is fully digital with some analog features. I had never seen that before. The parking brake is engaged with your right finger on a button near your right elbow. Also, a nice difference compared to Japanese cars is that when you turn off the car, the radio still functions and plays. It's nice when you've parked your car and don't want to get out just yet. This car always felt firmly planted to the ground when I took tight turns, accelerated, or braked aggressively. This is a fun car. I didn't play too much with the paddle shifters on the automatic, but it was cool to use. The infotainment system works with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, but I didn't play around with it much. Trunk space is actually very spacious and can hold multiple bags of luggage so long as you have realistic expectations. The rear seats are only suitable for cats and dogs as I'd feel bad for whomever was sitting back there. JD Power gives it average reliability. Taken from usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/chevrolet/camaro/2016/reliability If I had to get a sports car, I'd definitely consider this or the Mazda Miata. I'm patiently waiting for the 2018/2019 Toyota Supra or Tesla Model 3 though.
