Thumbs up

Exterior:

T-tops
More agressive hood for the upper trim levels, RS, SS type like the 67, 68, 69.
Smaller XM/Onstar/radio antenna (the "shark fin")
If it's going to be used on the production car, color coordinate the "shark fin" with the body color
The front scoop is one of neat little things we all like about the car (the fact that it's non-functional is a little issue to some, though) Ram air induction
please make it an option.
At least open the front scoop, even if it's not feeding the engine
Make every attempt to not use amber colored directionals for Europe. Use amber bulbs instead?
The concept wheels option the vert or hardtop wheels also a Rally wheel with RED line tire and RS, SS, Z28, wheel spinner caps and emblems options.
Chrome bumpers like on the 67, 68, 69 or the split bumpers on the 1970
options???

Lights/exterior trim:

LED lamps all around
Smaller repeater lamps on the sides
Relocate the reverse lamps to somewhere other than the middle of the bumper, like the C6 Corvette or the C5.
HALO headlamps (like the concept) also a standard grille kit, rally sport grille kit, hide away headlamp doors for RS, SS, options.
Keep any daytime-running-lights out of the main Headlight assembly, if possible
Side-mirror heaters
Offer multiple stripes packages, the Concept Convertible's style, the side "hockey-stick" stripes, and the center cowl-hood stripe
Could the stripes be painted on? The Rally stripes on 67, 68, 69 please.
Offer a close-to-Bumblebee yellow
The Gunmetal grey/steel color on the ZR-1 is HOT! Can we get a very similar color? Pretty please!!
Can the stripes NOT come as a mandatory option when purchasing higher trim levels?
Would love to see some of the First-generation colors offered (i.e. HUGGER ORANGE!!!)
The faux vents in front of the rear wheels. Could those have something done to them to make them look open? Instead of just being indentations

Powertrain:

LSA or variant. Supercharged 6.2 for the top-of the line model
Paddle-shifting with the Automatic transmission
All Wheel Drive?
LS3 engine or "better" (pretty please!!)
302 speciel edition Z28!!!
Short-throw shifter for the manual option
Optimize the Exaust note when in 4-cylinder mode
AFM-equipped, E85-capable V6 AND V8 engine
300 hp Direct Injection V6
Offering a 4-banger...er, 4 cyllinder engine, is a good idea for the success of the Camaro. We won't hate you for it.
A sport-tuned Suspention, Road, Track, Enthusiast, Touring tunned for RS, SS, Z28 options.
bear 4-piston calipers, slotted/cross drilled rotors
Please keep the tires the same on all four corners so they can be rotated

Interior:

Keep the torque gauge, and chrome accent that guage cluster!
Heads-up display option (preferably as it's own option)
Dual-zone Climate Control
Auto-dimming mirrors
Hands free Bluetooth
Homelink, Temp, Direction, and Onstar (possibly all on rearview mirror)
Premier sound system: Bose, Blaupunkt, Boston Acoustics, JL
Quality materials, (i.e. Not hard plastic everywhere)
A few Color accent schemes available
40G Hard Drive like that found in the CTS Cadillac. Ipod input!!
Please make the manual transmission shifter resemble the Concept shifter (obviously NOT made out of billet aluminum)
Include radio controls and cruise control on the steering wheel/seering column
Heated seats. Cloth Heated seats?
Navigation system available
remote starter for auto.

Pricing/ordering:

We understand the advanced components, and better interior, but please try and keep it affordable (as near to the Mustang as humanly possible)
Reduce the "clumping" of options
Offer LOTS of accesories/customizable "aftermarket" options
IF the options MUST be packaged together, try to seperate the performance options from the luxury options (seperate packages)

Marketing:

packages as they were back in the day when Camaro 67, 68, 69 any person could walk into the dealer and order what they wanted on one that, would broaden the want for one by everyone.
Highlighting the fuel-efficiency is a good idea
Any ads must make as strong a statement, and be as bold as the car is
Have a little hint about performance, like "Camaro: you'll spend more on tires than you will on gas". And highlight all the different fuel-saving features, AFM, E85(?), etc.

General Feedback:

You've been able to keep this close to the concept?!? Wow. Great Job, and Thank you for that!
The car is coming together really well.
Thank you for bringing the almighty Camaro back to us!
Please, spare no effort to absolutely destroy the GT-500 in the Camaro's corresponding trim level
Thanks for listening to us!!! We really appreciate it, and want you to know it
