\"2016<\/p>\n

Advancement in Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obviously, the sixth-gen Camaro looks closely related to the fifth-gen version. Since Chevy sells more than 80,000 Camaros a year, we understand why the automaker went for evolution as opposed to a revolutionary design. That said, the new Camaro design is excellent. \u201cThe surface handling is fresh, and the linework is great,\u201d Gale, our legendary guest design judge, said. \u201cThe biggest area of visual change is likely the C-pillar and quarter window area for most people. Wheel to the body, gesture, and overall graphics add to a very nimble appearance, especially the rear three-quarter view.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"2016<\/p>\n

A legend in his own right, Theodore noted that the new Camaro\u2019s wheelbase is 1.4 inches longer than the Cadillac ATS\u2019, which helps with dash-to-axle, but he\u2019d like to see the beltline dropped by an inch or two to de-chunk the sides. \u201cAn exterior design with more reach might have been able to attract new buyers to the Camaro ranks,\u201d he said. A fair point. We all agreed that regarding the interior, the new car is hugely improved compared to the cockpit it replaces. Perfect? No. For instance, while we almost all loved them, to quote Burgess, \u201csmart and creative\u201d central vents with integrated HVAC controls, they should be located 6 inches higher on the dash. However, if you only wear kilts, Chevy has you covered.<\/p>\n

\"2016<\/p>\n

Efficiency<\/strong><\/p>\n

If there\u2019s a single criterion the Camaro doesn\u2019t ace, it\u2019s efficiency. That\u2019s the nature of the beast, to a certain extent. However, compared to equivalent Mustangs, we\u2019d be willing to bet that the Camaro V-6 bests the EcoBoosted Ford in the real world. Now, the SS is rated at 14\/26 mpg to the GT\u2019s 15\/25. However, according to our Real MPG tests, the Camaro SS gets 16.1\/25.2\/19.2 mpg city\/highway\/combined compared to the Mustang GT\u2019s 15.9\/24.1\/18.8. The less said about the two-ton-plus Dodge Challenger\u2019s fuel economy, the better.<\/p>\n

\"2016<\/p>\n

Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the 2016 Camaro is brand-new, neither the IIHS nor NHTSA has crashed one yet. However, both the Cadillac ATS and CTS received 5-Star ratings in every single category from NHTSA, and IIHS has the CTS rated Good (the highest mark) in each of the five tests of crashworthiness. In front crash prevention it\u2019s ranked Superior. (Crash avoidance and mitigation are rated on a different scale; Superior is the top mark.) We have no reason to believe a further evolution of the Alpha platform will be any less safe.<\/p>\n

\"2016<\/p>\n

Value<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is another criterion the Camaro utterly nails. A 275-hp turbo for $27K, 335 horsepower for $28.5K, or 455 hp for $37K? This isn\u2019t rocket science, people.<\/p>\n

\"2016<\/p>\n

Engineering Excellence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chevy hit this one out of the park. When new for 2015, the Ford Mustang GT gained 196 pounds. The new Camaro SS is down more than 200 pounds compared with the car it replaces, 3,672 pounds versus 3,908 for the V-8. The V-6 comes in at only 3,461 pounds, with an automatic! Weight is the enemy of performance, and you can easily see this when you note that the new SS is nearly as quick in a straight line (0-60 mph in 4 seconds flat, quarter mile in 12.4 seconds) as the outgoing and more powerful Z\/28. Lower weight plus the superlative Alpha bones make handling measurably mega; the SS runs our figure-eight track in 24.1 seconds, two-tenths of a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S.<\/p>\n

\"2016<\/p>\n

Performance of Intended Function<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s one where the new Camaro might transcend the criteria. Is this the best production pony car the world has ever seen? Without hesitation, yes. What was interesting to me is that we judge types weren\u2019t talking about the Camaro about the Mustang GT that we brought along as a benchmark. We were talking about future Camaro comparison tests against BMWs, Audis, and AMGs. I\u2019d even throw Porsche into that mix. MacKenzie sums up our feelings: \u201cA revelation. World-Class sports car performance and dynamics from an American icon. The new Camaro is one of the finest driver\u2019s cars in the world. And that\u2019s before you even talk about the price.\u201d It\u2019s also absolutely bitchin\u2019, and it\u2019s the 2016 Motor Trend Car of the Year.<\/p>\n
