take a look at this picture from the Camaro Concept 'vert



notice that there is an arrow beside the gas logo that points to the passenger side... perhaps this screen that we are seeing is specific to the V6... or perhaps the screen that is on the Concept would have the same writing on it when the hood is open or the brake fluid is low... those sensors were probably not installed on the Concept, so its hard to say... but the comparison between the two makes me think that the screen will have what I'm talking about on it when there isn't an urgent message on the screen

something else that has been brought up time and time again is the shifter: folks, I hate to tell you this... but the Concepts shifter is not going to make it to production... and it might not even be offered by GM... because that is a SOLID PIECE OF METAL... do you have any idea how hot that gets? do you have any idea how many people would buy this car and then burn the heck out of their hands on that shifter? I'm quite sure that some aftermarket company will offer a shifter that looks like the Concept's shifter, but I highly doubt that GM would ever let something that could pose as great a threat for lawsuit as that make it to production... I know I wouldn't if I was on the design team.
