gm releases official images of 2016 chevrolet camaro convertible

Inevitably, this is the new 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible, sporting a slew of changes that do not include improved visibility over the current model.

Unfortunately, this is the only manufacturer-provided image of the new Camaro Convertible showing its top in the closed position, making it difficult to judge if Chevrolet has improved the number one complaint of every owner and automotive journalist to jump behind the wheel of their pony car. However, there are a number of changes to note.

Firstly, the top is now fully automatic, lacking a manual locking latch. You can also open and close the top at speeds up to 30 mph and remotely operate the top with the provided key fob (while stationary, of course). It drops 200 lbs versus the outgoing ‘vert, which should make it a better handler like the coupe we covered previously.

GM says it’ll begin deliveries in early 2016.

I have a 2013 DUSK convertible. Visibility with the top up is almost non-existent. The C pillar area on a vert is much larger than the coupe and the rear window is much smaller as well. It's a beautiful car, but it makes a better stationary piece of art than as a car.

2ACL 2.slow + stick + major components serviced = many more miles of motoring if the next owner is even half as diligent. Not my cup of tea, but I could understand someone wanting to take this home.
AZFelix In related news, the California Department of Public Health in cooperation with CARB is proposing a complete ban on new car sales by 2039. The agency director was quoted as saying "If it prevents just one death..." and "Think of the [non-aborted] children..." at a press conference. The DEA immediately classified Ozium Air Sanitizer spray as a Schedule I chemical/drug and applied for a yearly budget increase of $690 billion dollars to help prosecute their 'war on car freshness'.
Master Baiter The 10 year maintenance cost should be normalized with respect to the vehicle cost. Of course a $150K Porsche or Range Rover is going to cost more to maintain than a $20K Camry.
Paul 175k? Pffft not a chance. A VW with that mileage is an enormous bill waiting to happen.
Turbo Is Black Magic Civic Si all the way… it’s the sweet spot of fun to drive, manual, decent MPG’s, no dealer markup BS. Especially in Canada where you can get heated seats.If you are in the US just buy the last gen Si… it’s still a vastly better car than the current one.
