I just thought I'd point this out...
The other day when I was driving home from work, I ended up behind a CTS and the color looked great in the sun. The closer I got, I was like "wow, I love that metallic sparkle... looks great!".... then closer... then closer... then I finally noticed that this car had the backup sensors on the bumper. But from a little ways back, it was barely even noticeable! Those sensors are so much smaller than the ones on my Fusion... they were body-colored, flush, and barely stood out until you were actually looking for them. Needless to say, I hope they are this "disguised" when they arrive on the Camaros, because that was quite impressive compared to others that I've seen! So I think that we will all be surprised when it's not as bad as we expected. And if GM adding this feature is a deal-breaker for you, then you should be looking elsewhere for a car... Such as the old used car lots, for something a little more cave-man-esque, instead of a modern car |

thats where the systems i was looking into at. im not sure if they are good or cheaply made and pos's and i dont know of any notable brands for park assist they are not alllllll that hard, but its going to be a do it your self thing, which i am not comfortable with, lack of self confidence, id rather take it to the dealer, and say "back up sensors please(:" and pick it up a few days later with it installed.

I found a picture of pretty much the exact car I saw when I was driving...
I think this will be the closest resemblance of what we should expect (being from GM and all)... Notice how you can barely even see the backup sensors. And here is another pic: Now compare that to the giant ones that Ford uses... Those stick out like a sore thumb, whereas GM's are much more subtle. Let's hope for the best (looks-wise), but hold off judgment until we see the final product |

I have started looking elsewhere for another car. I sold the freakin' Honda a couple of weeks ago so I do need to find something. The only problem for me is that nothing else can compete with the style and the price of the Camaro. Chevy really came up with a winner here, and in spite of someone finding a way to dick it up a little, it looks like it has a way to go before I would consider something else. |

For the people who think it will ruin the look of the rear bumper and won't be flush, I am pretty sure it's not that bad.
My STS has them and they are very flush and rarely stand out It's a great feature to have when parallel parking and comes in handy at all times, sometimes when I have a low curb behind me instead of opening the door all I do is rely on the sensor I have in my car just like the one in the Camaro.

I see that the 2LT and 2SS's prices on Chevy's website now reflect the $295 difference.

They need to have a good retro fit for this. Hopefully it will look as good as the caddy odes.
seven days and counting |
