I have really enjoyed watching the transformation from concept to the latest and greatest pictures we see coming out on almost a daily basis. The engineers at GM will have a better handle on what can become reality and what can't just based on the fundemental design of the car... so here are my thoughts:
Exterior: Small rear spoiler, reverse lights either part of the tail lights or back as installed in the concept, rear gills... like the idea of a trim piece as installed on my 69 RS, functional cowl hood for the big dog, heated side mirrors, Bowtie emblems that are changed out with RS, SS or Z28 depending on trim levels similar to earlier generations.
Interior: My biggest concern is that my 6'-7" frame is not going to fit (not a wide body just a long one). I want the driver seat to sit far enough back and down that my legs and my head won't be crushed. Adjustable lumbar support in the seat... other adjustments would be welcome as long as they are not those bags used on the early 90 GM models that always seemed to deflate. Integral homelink for the garage door opener. 12 volt outlet for the back seat passengers. Dual comfort zone controls, 6 disk CD would be awesome,
Engine: Want a strong V8 with power, economy and durability. Want it to be easy for me to change the plugs. I want to make the GT500 crowd to cring when they see my car come down the street.
I am looking for a car that I can keep for years, one that will look nice next to my 69RS and that I will enjoy for years to come. This will not be a daily driver but I want it to be enjoyable to drive in city traffic as well as blasting down the interstate.
From what I have seen to date the car is pretty much on track for most of those items listed above. My biggest concern is the height issues. Even if I don't fit I don't see it stopping me from buying the car... it just means the first mod is moving the seat back!
Keep up the good work Team Camaro!
