MY ZL1 wheel is gonna look better than your SS wheel!
Bunch of whiners! You want some cheese to go with that wine?
hehehe j/k....
Your just not used to it as it's different that's all. It will grow on you.
If you don't like the new one do what all modders do. Change it to a 2010 wheel of your choice. But you can't have my ZL1 wheel...no no no...
aint gonna happen...

I don't see the point in having the volume controls on the right side of the wheel. It's maybe 3 inches from the actual radio controls. Besides my right hand is usually busy shifting so it makes more sense that the hand holding the wheel be able to change the volume..... on the "left" side of the wheel. Just my opinion though.

I sorta like the '12 steering wheel too. Not that the '10-'11 is bad. I wonder if we'll be able to swap it out?

if they would have just kept "camaro" on it i would not complain at all and thats what irks me is the uqineness of the orginal steering wheel to this one if i wanted a cruize i would go buy one but i want a CAMARO blah only if the bow tie was not there no complaints as i stated before if i was to get a 12 i would want a steering swap or no deal

OK, I agree with everyone who does not like the new steering wheel. Sad to see the Camaro logo go and the bowtie take its place. My thought to all who hate it, look at it this way ---- when you're driving down the road or on the highway in your CAMARO, you hopefully WON'T be staring at the steering wheel. Out of sight, out of mind. Life is too short - enjoy the ride!

I'll be the first in line to buy the zed l1 steering wheel as soon as the part number becomes known.

VADR_H8R · 08-06-2011, 09:47 AM

why didnt they just use the ZL1 steering wheel??? everyone loves it!!! $15k+ to upgrade to a suitable steering wheel??

Opinions are not = whining. Our opinions are what help guide GM to refine the cars.
So what the heck was wrong with the 10-11 wheel? I am not a fan of the look of the new wheel simply because it looks like every other sedan, minivan type wheel and to me isn't that sporty looking. But it wouldn't keep me from buying the car.

Enough people complained that the old wheel was too uncomfortable.

It's basically just a little bit smaller, isn't it? That was the major complaint... too big.

At least they are keeping the SS on it; that's the best part. The Camaro lettering is nice, but it just looks cheap... I can understand the changes completely.
