What DON'T you like about the Camaro? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Is there any thing about the new Camaro that you don't like? For me, I am not crazy about the tail lights. They are starting to grow on me and once I have my Camaro I think that I will change my mind. Over all an exciting design well done!

MarkSS · 04-14-2009, 10:39 AM

I don't like that there isn't one in my garage yet.

Nothing. Well, okay, the backup lamps, but that's it. If someone told me back in the early 80's (horrible days for "performance" cars), that someday I could buy a 426 HP 6-speed manual Camaro SS I would have told them to quit smoking crack. Enjoy it while you can, this administration will eventually try to kill our beloved muscle cars in the near future.....

Not really sure, been so hyped up on all the things I love about it the small things that don't appeal to me just haven't gained any traction.

If I would have to pick something, it would be the vehicle systems integration with the stereo. I would rather like to be able to swap out the OEM stereo for an after market model without having to resort to hacks or hiding the OEM to keep the vehicle running the way it was designed to.

Cosmetically speaking there isn't anything I would change, or that bothers me about the new Camaro; at least for the trim level I ordered.

AZCamaroFan · 04-14-2009, 10:45 AM

The width of the car. I don't know of another car that is that wide. The height of the hood. Just looks like the largest Camaro ever.

Mail slot is silly.

Dakota Kid · 04-14-2009, 10:49 AM

Dash layout.

FenwickHockey65 · 04-14-2009, 10:51 AM

Would like to see better interior materials, but it's fine the way it is. No biggie.

And if GM can push the 3.6L to 30 MPG, that would really be impressive.

It isn't in my garage yet!!!!

VenomZ302 · 04-14-2009, 10:59 AM

That it's not free!

But in all seriousness, if there's anything that bugs me about the 5th Gen, it's the lack of a NAV screen, be it touch or otherwise. A very minor gripe that doesn't influence my decision at all, but that's my answer.
