Probably on the blue center display or inside the gauges. Trust me. GM didn't forget to put blinker arrows on the car.

Yea exactly. Who is actually going to use a tranny temp gauge? The only purpose it would serve is trailer pulling, or for those who spend all day on a circuit track. Even then, those people make up an relatively small percentage of people buying a Camaro (like a niche market). I would think the average consumer would like to see that torque gauge peg over when then step on it. I would have loved that.

the newer BMWs (at least all that i've seen) are designed where u insert the key fob into a slot on the dash (no real 'key' the lock/unlock transponder is like a big plastic key) and u press the ignition button

new camaros have a switchblade key which is used like classic keys

People have already stated this but the V6 guages look infinitely classier than the SS font.

Ah, I was referring to the switch blade keys, that the older BWMs had, and the VWs are currently using. Basically, the first time I've noticed GM use anything other than the traditional car keys.

I never really looked at the font of the guages before until someone mentioned the V6 looking better than the SS. I would hope they can change the hash marks. I think it would be better to have the longer hashes. I don't know if I have an opinion on the font though. I guess the V6 font looks a little better.

Both sets of gauges remind me of my dad's '77 SIlverado. I prefer the blue ones a bit over the ss. However, both look nice. My Kia has the 20, 40, 60 set up. I got use to it after a while. Also my "70" tick mark points straight up (like due North) so, it's not that hard to tell between 60 & 80.

I was wondering if the ranges could change but since kilometers are shorter (55MPH close to 70KPH) you'd think the numbers would go up not down. Apparently the V6's only go to 160.

the v6 go to 160 km/h or 160 mph ??????

Both! I imagine since they are electronic gauges, selecting KPH vs. MPH will electronically change the sweep/range of the needle to correspond to the proper reading. So the gauge face will always say 0-160. In one of TAG's EXCELLENT photos of a close-up of the gauges with his use of a flash you can almost make out all of the symbols that light up in the gauges. MPH is above km/h, so one of those will light depending on if you've set it to metric or standard with the menu button on the stalk, and the needle sweep will be adjusted accordingly. I'll find TAG's picture,,,,
