It may be safer when the car gets hit, the driver is further away from a potential gas leak.

In a normal luxury car or low-end gas sipper that probably won't see any customization it is fine. But on a performance car, truck or pony like the Camaro that usually see custom work done, it doesn't make a lot of sense.

Take a look at forums for any luxury car or low-end gas sipper, or look in the parking lot at a stereo shop. Every car gets lots of people who spend ridiculous amounts of money on a stereo.

Just be careful when putting something in the trunk.

Pretty normal for GM cars, in my experience.

I'm surprised so many people still haven't gotten used to those reverse lights. I quite like them.

I love both the exterior and interior (yes, even the odd controls).

-I wish it had a full nav screen. Turn-by-turn is better than nothing, but I'm a notoriously bad navigator and I could really use the smart map.

-I wish I could get all-season tires with the RS package instead of summer tires. I'm not planning to drive through rain, slush and snow (that's what the Grand Am's for) but I DO want to take the Camaro out when it's below 40.

I don't like how small it is. I wish it was just a hair larger because it would look meaner and maybe have more room for the back seat.

I don't really like the butt end of the car, especially the tail lights & I'm not a fan of the untraditional "SS" on the car. I understand its the same style on all the other SS model cars but I don't really like it on the Camaro.

Well, Ford doesn't have a Corvette. GM will never build a Camaro that is faster than the Corvette IMO (although they did in 1969).

In addition to the narrow trunk opening and no more hatchback, I don't care for the "retro" guages (I know a lot of folks like them, but not me).

kanys · 04-14-2009, 03:35 PM

Overall I love it, but here are a few things I am not 100% happy with:
1. Non-LED tail lights
2. No avaliable HUD
3. No push-button start
4. Interior materials - just doesn't look "modern" enough
5. "hips" maybe a little overdone
6. LS wheels - wish they were more "mainstream" like the others
7. foglights - should be standard on all models
8. no LSD on the V6 auto
9. rear leg/headroom (maybe add like 1.5-2" for headroom and 4-5" for legroom would be nice)

However I must say that if I made this list for any other car I might consider, it would surely be much longer than this! Great job GM!

I have not received mine yet, but from all of the pictures I have seen, the Interior is the LEAST impressive part to me. Sure its cool and retro, but I like sleep and modern. Also, some people on this board are saying the interior is hard plastic. I hope this is not the case.

It is hard plastic but to be fair they spent the money on the performance and the car is very affordable.

It's time Chevrolet get's back to it's roots (cheap and dependable). Every Chevy should have hard plastic dash except the Vette. Want nicey-nicey? Go buy a Buick.

I have 3 small issues.

1) Backup lights look like an afterthought and completely out of place. Should have been relocated to the license plate surround.

2) The backend of the car looks like it needs a small tweek. I can't put my finger on it, but something just needs a small change. A more aggressive spoiler would have been a great idea.

3) I wish jetstream blue was an option.
