GM tried to go full sports car. But nobody in this segment cares about that. I don't even think the Camaro's biggest problem is its lack of visibility or it being too sporty to drive, it's the fact that nobody even remembers it exists.
The Challenger is very present in popular culture, everybody including non-car people know what it is. The Camaro? It hasn't registered in anybody's mind for years.

I'll go out on a limb a say the Charger is hands down Dodges most successful model and sales wise the Charger Rt, SRT, Hellcat, ect..... all blow the 2 door cars out of the water.
And yes.... the Camaro has been irrelevant for years.
