ABL - not what we rightly or wrongly thought we were going to be getting
Stripe package - hood thing and limited factory install colors
Hurst Shifter - may not be available as an LPO or RPO
GFX - not body color matching
HUD -not available in the first production year if at all
Prices for GM accessories are out to lunch.

I know that most of these things can be addressed by after market add ons or some other after market process such as painting, etc. For the average guy/gal buying this as his/her daily driver it doesn't matter, he/she will drive it for a few years and sell it to upgrade and there is nothing wrong with that. I am buying this as a keeper/collector and it probably won't see more 2000 miles a year. It may never be worth anymore than what I pay for it the day it is new, but one thing is for certain, painting and modding kills its collector value. Watch Barrett & Jackson and see the difference between what an all original 67 Camaro fetches price wise and one that is not.

The new Camaro is a great car, but if the 2011 model comes with all the bells and whistles, this could hurt the collector value of the 2010, making it less desirable.
