I don't get your point at all. If you are in the market for a sporty/fast coupe why would you not cross shop these? They are certainly different price points but size, weight, performance, yada yada are almost identical. I think that saying the Camaro handles as well or better than the 70k+ BMW is the point. You could never say that before. If your German/foreign car bias is so strong that you dismiss what American car companies are doing right now it is your loss.
