The steering wheel is big, and the controls are set deep towards the center... but that's ok, I've got big hands.



I think the AC/Heater control panel and the stereo controls are highly practical. One thing that I would have liked to have seen was dual-zone climate control. I know my old lady is gonna be bitching at me for having it so cold all the time! BUT - she can just turn on the heater for her seat.



Navigation would have been nice... but I think it takes away from the style of the car. I'm very happy with the stereo interface. I'm sure later models will be offered with navigation. I would have liked it, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me. After driving the ol' lady's GMC SIERRA across California, I'm very happy with everything about it.



The 2010 Camaro is about style... MUSCLE... class... and a lil bit of luxury accompanied by technology. This is the first 21st Century sports car that I give a damn about.



...it would be bad-ass to get my hands on one of the original concepts though, even if it was just for show and cruising at 25mph 'cause of all the crap on it that isn't "legal" or "practical".

In Boston they've been the same for 100 years so I don't see how having Navi would be quickly outdated. And you can get updated map DVD's if you live in an area that's constantly building new roads.



And it's not a bright idea to be looking at your cell phone for directions when driving.
its not the roads that change and people want the updates for, its the points of interest. which, do change alot. Onstar is updated constantly, and has over 3 million. built in one are only updated once a year, or less.

Look at the iPod, it did everything with 2 controls! Nobody tossed them out because they didn't have a zillion buttons!
