The wheels look good.

The frame-less mirror is definitely a step up from the old one.

MyLink looks silly. It was an afterthought, and it shows. It sticks out of the dashboard, and is in an odd position. It's low, and facing straight back, not even upwards or towards the driver, which will probably make the usage of it awkward. It will be dangerous to use it while moving, due to it's position; it'll take your eyes completely off the road. And it doesn't have tactile knobs or switches, so you have to look at it to do anything with it.

AFAIK, it's standard on everything but the LS, so if you get anything but the base model, you are forced to use it whether you like it or not.

It's good to see GM is giving their customers a lot of options when buying a vehicle.

Years ago, GM offered more options than you could shake a stick at.

That mirror seems like it would greatly improve forward visibility! Gotta look into it.

Thanks for posting Becky!!!

I think the MyLink is awsome too. Did they keep the Heads up Display?

The MyLink looks like it would be interesting to have, but then you lose the CD player. I'd rather have the CD player since I get more use out of that.

Mirror looks cool, but I prefer the back up camera in the mirror. Just seems to make more sense there.

I don't see any big huge difference with the wheels. IMO all the Camaro wheels look pretty similar. The 45th anniversary wheels are the most different looking, and even those aren't all that different from the rest.

Glad I didn't miss much by not waiting for a 2013

Those look like the hubcaps they put on 90s model Cavaliers to me.

GEN-IV · 06-29-2012, 07:10 AM

akCamaross · 06-29-2012, 07:10 AM
