Chevy Engineers "Dept. 180" get to bottom of seat comfort - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Very interesting video showing some of the extreme measures that Chevy engineers undertake to verify the quality of GM vehicles. This particular one shows the engineers ensuring the best comfort and ergonomics in their cars, particularly the seats.

pretty commical and informational. The last to sit in the seat was great.

ron10 · 03-23-2010, 02:45 PM

Those guys really put their asses on the line.

69camaro6speed · 05-16-2010, 09:51 AM

I must say some cars have put the hurt on me after long drives. It does seem like my gm cars are better on butt and back.
I went to a race with friends In a Import car after 8 hours I was hurt.
My gm cars seem much better on long trips and I was like how can that be now I see lol

hot_rod · 05-16-2010, 10:30 AM

that was good

Johnny1 · 05-16-2010, 10:53 AM

Yea well I know they are going to stop production of the Colorado/Canyon. And that its a truck not a car. But my 07 Canyon I ordered has the premiim cloth bench seat and it really sucked till I had it re-upholstered. It sit to flat, the material felt like an old gunny sack (you younger folks may not no what that term means). And in no time the drivers seat was sagging and wrinkling. So BS on GM and there seat quality. After having the seat built up a little in the front so you sit at a back ward angle and a better material its comfortable. But when you buy the SLE Canyon you shouldn't have to do that or change out the seats whether its a truck or not.

Yup, because your seats sucked, that means all of GM's seats suck. Sound logic there.

Seats are great... I think they did a good job testing 'em!

I just wish they would have tested the seat-belt posts a little more thorough. This seems to be a common problem... http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78890
