Rear View Camera
So in playing with the competition's car builder (no worries, I don't think I'd ever buy a Mustang), I noticed that Ford's giving the option of the rear view camera that my G35 has on the 2010 Mustang. I've found it to be spoiling, but extremely helpful. Especially while parallel parking. I kind of wish that GM had this as an option on the Camaro, but do you think they may add it as an option? If they add it, would it even be possible to fit into a 2010? I kind of don't think so, given the dash and a lack of video screen.
Thoughts?

Well, it doesn't have to necessarily have a video screen on the dash. I have seen some (in Fords) that have a small screen in the rearview mirror. It requires a slightly larger rearview mirror, but it isn't too bad. There are also aftermarket options also like this one -
As for if GM will offer either option -> |

They will be adding the rear parking assist sensors, but I'm not sure a camera...

OH NO! Here we go
I think these things are cool but I don't want them anywhere near my Camaro. That stuff belongs on an SUV w/ good reason, but a Camaro....really?

but from what the reviews are saying the c pillars makes it really hard to see, with that being it would help with the blind spots. not saying i would buy it or anything, the mustang might have that same problems and a camera was a way to somewhat fix that.

For me, I wouldn't want or need it. I think it'd be cool to have as an option for those that do want it. I don't really think visability is going to be too much less than the last generation so I think I can make due. Personally, I like the idea these conveniences, but I don't like how they're grouped together with other features. Anyways, I'd vote to have it as an option; I don't think it'll be seen within the next few years though. I don't think GM is going to have many significant changes to these cars for a little while now, so rag-top withstanding (maybe Z28 in a few years) I don't expect we're going to see much in the way of change - okay, maybe ABL.
