2013 Camaro Full List of Changes

[snizzle]

Ugh, I was one of those clamoring for the in-dash nav and here it is.... one model year after I purchased.



Glad to see they're improving the car with additional tweaks each year. Hope I can retrofit the dash.

yea my phone still has buttons and no touchscreen....

and id rather not have that thing in the car at all. I believe someone else here hit it right on the nose when they said all they needed was an upgrade to the current radio. better lcd maybe even some color and it wouldve been good to go. I just feel big touchscreens belong in trucks and minivans. not in muscle cars like camaros, mustangs and challengers. but that's just my opinion and I'm sure the younger generation has a completely different one... just my 2cents.

People complain about every new feature. Believe me, GM heard enough from the public/focus groups about the desire for in-dash nav to redesign the dash and incorporate the electronics. There is considerable demand and in the years to come it'll be standard in all cars.

Touch screen requires my eyes to be on the screen, and you can't use it while wearing gloves. No thanks. Plus, I much prefer half of the rearview mirror to turn into the backup camera display, rather than having to look down at the screen for that.

I have a hard decision to make. I'm close to pulling the trigger on a '12 1SS since I have the private offer certificate and $2000 dealership employee cash to use before 4/30.

I really like the MyLink and would definitely order a 2013 with the dual made exhaust if I went that route. I could also get the color I want. I'm having to settle for Red with a 2012.

I guess I am confused.. Why do you have to be looking at the screen all of the time? Once you setup your phone everything is controlled by the controls on the steering wheel for most operations.. If you want to listen to music you can change lists/stations along with volume on the steering wheel.. If you want to make a call press the button on the steering wheel and verbally tell mylink who you want to call.. I guess if you are using the navigation system you need to look down to she where to go if you have the audio directions turned off but that would be the same no matter what navigation system you have.. To top that off I would much rather have a 7" screen to look at when backing up compared to a 2" screen up in the glare.. I must be one of the stranger people in the older generation, I really like have a system (Mylink with Nav) that will connect to my phone and start whatever music setup I have as soon as I start the car..

I don't know what you're confused about or if you just took something in my post out of context but i think it looks ugly in the car. I don't use my phone in the car. and even if I did my 2012 has those features you mentioned without that screen. and after driving a car for 20years I guess I'm just weird in that I've actually gotten used to looking up in the mirror when backing up as oppose to the car stereo.

I think I'm the one that suggested that :-) And I'm 22 years old! I'm all for nav systems, I'm used to them now that I work on cars that pretty much all have them. But I think the way this interior was designed it just does not go well at all. I think it's hideous. I like the features it offers, just not the way it looks. In the other GM cars that are recent the interior has been designed with that in mind from the get-go and it works well, but it doesn't work well at all with the retro theme in these cars. IMO, no offense to anyone!

Me too!!!!!
Except the part about the $2000 lol
Seriously though,I can get a red 2012 (want white) 1SS with the $1000 off rebate that the dealer located,or wait and order a 2013.
Don't know what to do.
Leaning more towards the 2013 and ordering the color that I absolutly want. Just hoping I don't hate the new wheel design.

A Trade up to a 13' Model may be worth it if you have a 10' model......The only thing that's different that's worth a hoot to my 2012 2SS model is the touchscreen....I'll stick to my Baby for a while!!
