Just chiming in, the cup holders I agree is bad, however if there was a way for them to maybe make them deeper, that might fit the issue

We all complain some more than others. Improving the car is whats at the heart I think to many of these rants. Unfortunately somethings because of the bean counters of the world are not possible, others are voted out completely and can be viewed as bad decisions.

Im just glad that we have the Camaro and that there are muscle car choices again.

My only rant/complaint is visibility, yes I have adjusted the mirrors and monitored all around before making a lane change. I think this is an area that could have been addressed.

this is just a mid cycle refresh. changing the car so it has more visibility would be a huge change in the car. let's see what the 6th gen brings.

Sounds like you bought a "muscle car" expecting it to be a $100k luxury car and nitpicking the h3ll out of it. Your ride is gonna be stiff, the interior isn't going to be luxurious, there are going to be blind spots, etc... the reason you buy this car is for the looks and the performance.

This car has met all my expectations and more, I do not have an issue with any of the items you list, well maybe the trunk opening but I'm not going to be hauling lumber around with my Camaro so I'm fine.

4. The 4 gauges on the floor need to be moved somewhere else.
5. The cup holders needs to be moved aside of the shifter.
6. The inside arm rest need to higher and longer. (must be able to rest your arm while driving)
7. The small trunk opening… need I say more…
8. The dash board. A complete redesign will do. (The 2014 Impala is not bad.)
9. How do you set the temp in the interior to exactly 70 deg. (You turn a knob to the right and left until you think it’s 70 deg in the car).
10. Suspension adjustment. Some of us have kids and want a nice smooth ride to the beach.
11. After all this said… I still might buy one. Convertible that is. I have a small brain the refuses to learn.
1. A built in blind spot mirror would be nice, but I don't agree that the side mirrors are too small. They are actually larger than the original concept Camaro.

4. The fact that you want to move the iconic 4 pack gauges screams the fact that you are not a Camaro guy.

8. Again if you want the Camaro dash to look like the Impala dash this is even more evidence that you are not a Camaro guy.

9. I can do without electronic temperature controls. They have proven to be unreliable and tend to be expensive to repair on past cars I have owned.

10. The 5th Gen. Camaro rides like a Cadillac compared to all earlier models. If you need a smooter ride purchase the Impala and you will take care of #8 at the same time

I agree with you on the cupholders 100 % (LS3) (would like to have seen the cupholders moved to the right of the gearshift and the parking brake moved to the left...I know quit beating a dead horse).

I also think the auto climate should have been part of the options availible for this puppy.

I bet the mirrors will come with Blind Spot mirrors in the next Gen.

The rest you are just being a little picky IMO. The non-fog DRLs piss me off more than the rest of your stuff...
