Lose weight and I'm pissed my car doesn't turn into an alien robot is that option only on yellow models?

As far as the radio controls, I wish GM would take a look at how Chrysler does it. They make more sense, are more user friendly and allow more overall control from the wheel without the need to reach for the radio. I would also like to see an interior that doesn't look cheap at least in the higher trim levels.

Better paint.

Not my link, homelink. Its in the overhead console by the overhead dome light(s). There are 3 buttons (at least in my 2012). I have both of my garage doors programmed

I guess that's a big one to me. I just don't usually think about it because I gave up on mine.

IMO this has been resolved with the '14s and I'm told the '13s are nearly the same but I haven't seen the inside of one for myself. A lot less plastic, more leather, soft touch materials, and the big mylink screen in the dash.

-Fix the way the seat belts are ran from the B-pillar.
Totally agree. This is probably the most annoying interior feature. That little magnetic strap is useless... at least for us taller folks.

-Place the USB port somewhere besides the center console
Totally agree. How about just a port on the dash, near the radio. USB in the center console (especially down low) is stupid.

-Place the E-Brake on the driver side
I don't understand this one. Why? I have pretty long legs and on a long ride I rest my right one against the console for comfort. Had a car where the e-brake was right there and it was VERY uncomfortable on my knee. What's the matter with where it is?

-Offer a T-Top (I know pipe dream)
Yeah... but it's a nice pipe dream.

My only issue is the sucky seatbelt holder and location if you are tall. My shoulder is above the seatbelt strap, so I can't use that. Without the strap, the seatbelt tries to saw my jugular in half. Gm gives out free seatbelt extender which helps drastically, but is still a pain to deal with.

So a rigid holder like a Monte Carlo had would be terrific.

The roof you describe is a moonroof not a sunroof and you would lose a lot more headroom.

sdmbdad71 · 01-26-2014, 08:42 PM

Ditch the seatbelt straps in favor of something a bit more refined (genesis coupe has a pretty good system).

Bring the interior finishes up a bit, love my car, just would like to see some improvement here in the future.

1) Tip down right side mirror when in reverse
2) Memory driver seat
3) Square 19" wheel option for all models
4) Upgraded intake option (Z/28 intake would be nice)
5) Suspension upgrade options
6) LEDs or fiber optic in home link buttons
7) Leatherette on parking brake and center console (matching storage lid)
8) USB port in glove box
9) faster convertible top
10) Remove all plasti-chrome

How can you manual trans guys forget to ask for an on/off button for the stupid hill start assist?!?!? Or just get rid of it all together, which will never happen, but at least havig a way to turn it off would be nice without having to buy an $80 sensor!

slashsnake · 01-26-2014, 09:19 PM

Better center console design. It feels a bit far back and springs shut. A two hand job for me there.

Trunk button. Hate unlocking my car and having to fish again for my keys to open the trunk

Something that says these halos are not my brights. I have to flash somebody back at least twice a night.

Maybe a slightly less chunky steering wheel. I like it, wife hates it

Bigger trunk opening. I know its for stability, but if it can be designed bigger without sacrificing...

Move the garage buttons closer or make them easier to find in the dark.

Maybebjust little accent lights at night. Finding the charger flip cap, garage buttons, and some of the othrr buttons will take some getting used to

Just some small stuff here. Still in love with the car.
