The 1LT is a great buy. The leather Wrap and Connectivity are not bad for the extra money either. Should've known exactly what you were buying.

Personally I did'nt want the gauges because of my only disappointment with the car interior - lack of room in the console. I came from a Toyota Tundra so I was spoiled with a 'carton' as a storage box in the console, but the '010 Camaro console needs more storage room. Even the old 2nd Gens had more console storage space.

The gauges not being there gives extra room for change, sunglasses, etc., which is more or less why I did'nt want them. Beside, outside of Oil Pressure, the rest of the gauges are unnecessary as far as I'm concerned. Looking at the console to read those values during driving is not a great idea either. They put that cluster there for retro affect and I like it ... on other cars, not mine.

Leather wrap, sure would've been nice, but I'm not disappointed at all with the plastic .. and I do not compare the console storage on the Tundra to the Camaro, that's unfair and foolish. Enjoy what you have. Every car has their up and down points. The Camaro has way too many positive points for me to concentrate on the negative ones. My biggest beef is visibility - blind spots - out the back corners of the car from the drivers seat, but I knew that when I bought it and am adapting. I can see that being a major factor in future Camaro's though. the blind spots are not good at all. BUT ... I LOVE THIS CAR !
