Commenter akitadog mentioned earlier this week that "I'd like to see someone sitting in the rear seat to gauge how much (or little) room there actually is back there."
Well, as resident tall person (6 foot 3), I was tasked to drive the Camaro home last night and let you all know how much room there actually is back there.
Well, not much.
Head room's obviously not working for me, and leg and foot room aren't great either. Unlike the 135i, I can't sit behind myself. Then again, the 135i looks all goofy so what you have here is a trade off.

i expected this.
but one thing i notice in these pics...how huge are the blindspots in this car?
They look like they could hide a transport truck.

Dude I'm pretty colossal and sat in the back of a Plymouth Acclaim for the better part of a year in my formative days. The key is to SLOUCH. You gotta SLOUCH. SLOUCHING wins the day.

Tell the people in the back seat to quit moochin' and buy their own one!

I nominate wrinklebump's comment for the next "what you said" posting.
I also imagine that the only semi-comfortable back seat in a domestic coupe can be found in the Challenger. All that spacious Mercedes cabin room has to go somewhere, right?

Reminds me of the back seats in the last gen Camaros...worthless for anybody over 5'6".

I don't think you buy this sorta vehicle for rear seat room. Still, it would have been a nice bonus.

Good post, except for putting the 6'-3" guy in back. Tall guys almost always get shotgun, or insist on driving their luxo-barges with the chrome wheels. The back seat is for modestly proportioned people. Try someone 5'-10" or shorter, and have them ride back there for 40 minutes. That's a real test.

Come on. I'm not impressed with the Camaro, but even I know this is a bogus question.
