I see Edmunds is among the crowd that thinks any Camaro with less than 8 cylinders is an Iron Duke.

A piddly little 4-cylinder engine they put in some early-80s Camaros with less than 100 hp.

looks like the first Camaro post is already up on their long term blog - a rant about the steering wheel. not surprising considering how wacky the wheel is in the Camaro, eh?

Huh. I actually really like the feel of the steering wheel. Never had a negative thought about it.

The wheel feels comfortable and natural for 10-and-2 driving. 9-and-3 is what you have to do to use all the built-in controls, but that doesn't feel as good.

The wheel and the radio (interiors biggest complaint generators it seems) are both fine to me. I think that people seize on them to complain about right away because they are different from anything else on the road at the moment. After 2-3 days with your car they're a non-issue. IMO
