3. Trunk space. I bought mine just after Easter. There is no way I could have fit the groceries for Easter in my trunk. Don't know what I am going to do next year. I also kept a couple of lawn chairs in the trunk at all times in my Buick, and still had plenty of trunk space. I'm wondering if the chairs will even fit in the Camaro.

How many people are you feeding for Easter? You can fit A LOT! of groceries in there IMO.

These changes would fundamentally change the look of the car. I vote against them.

You think "chrome" and "wood" look better than the camaro's interior? I bet you think its real chrome and real wood. Not at that price point. It is pathetic plastic.

Big traditional dinner plus appetizers and dessert with everything made from scratch. Plus about 10 bottles of champagne (for 6 people), and vodka and martini ingredients for the night before. It just will not fit. My Easter dinner starts at about 3 pm and goes until 9 or 10 pm. Same deal for Christmas.

Don't most of you caterers drive big vans?

BTW, 10 bottles of champagne for 6 people? I want to party with you

Chrome and wood was used in many 1960's muscle cars. Chrome looked real, didn't examine the wood. In any case, I would be happier with plastic that convincingly looked like chrome or wood than plastic that looks like plastic.

I would change only ONE thing. Add an "Oh Sh!t" handle for the passenger.

No catering here. I do my own big dinner for Easter and Christmas, and that's it.

My mistake 10 bottles for 5 people, one brings her own wine because she doesn't like champagne.

And Baileys in the after dinner coffee, and vodka in the cheesecake.

I am so happy the Camaro has no chrome inside. The way it reflects the sun into my eyes is no good. With any car, you get what you pay for. The Camaro has just the type of interior that we all payed for. Im OK with it.

and push button start is very nice. not having to mess with a key is one of those things you don't really appreciate until you don't have to do it. it also makes it impossible to lock the key in the car. when I'm driving that car the fob goes in the pocket, (or for my wife her purse) and never has to be touched again for any reason. not to open the doors, lock or unlock the doors, open the trunk, start the vehicle, or anything else. very convenient. especially if your hands are full. but as I said before, the keyless entry is a far better feature than the push button start. the push button start was a kind of gimmicky thing that back in 2007 was pretty rare on non luxury cars.
I see what you are saying but I only like push start on an F1 car or something really serious for performance use on track you know like after you push that button you hear a really loud top fuel dragster roar out the tailpipe .

Haven't tried it with the 6 person tent yet but I'll just fold down the rear seat if necessary.

Try it with a convertible's smaller trunk.

This would be great!! Even for the young farts like me! lol

There has got to be a way to do it.
