If you buy a manual don't call them cup holders.
Stop lying.
They are change, reciept, wallet, phone, junk holders.

Period!

Try it with every style of cup you own.
Then shift.

"Introducing the new 2013 Chevrolet Camaro with new with race-inspired junk holders"

I'd buy that!

I forget his name but there is a guy on here from Boston I think that I bought a auto shifter from with the up & down shift buttons on the shifter. It is fantastic. Do a search and if you can't find him, send me a PM and I will look him up for you.

along with my previous 3:

1. FOB thats sensed and auto unlocks car door when next to it, adjust seat, mirrors, etc. according to which FOB is in your pocket, and push button start. My old 2009 Caddy had it, never take it out of your pocket.

2. One touch Vert lower and raise, my '94 Cutlass had it so it must not be that hard to figure out.

3. If cant have FOB at least have the seats and everything programable so the seat goes back when you turn car off and adjusts back to preset position when you turn the key on.

I would like to add:

1.color changes to the Dash/ambient lighting, digital dash/HUD, my '11 F150 has it and its sweet.

2.A more configurable HUD, maybe something like a phone app system, to change the background like wallpaper and styling of the numbers maybe, or what info is displayed and when, doesnt have to be major. You download it from the Chevy site and load it into the car. (I would love to have my MPH increment in the old clock or star trek style of the panels flipping up and down to change the numbers).

3. A cover for the vert roof that folds up more compactly.

4. Rubber coating for the metal tips on the cover so your less likely to goug the plastic it hooks under every time you put it on and take it off.

5. Move the traction control button, I mean it says turning it off while moving can damage it, yet you put a huge button by the shifter where stuff can easily be dropped on it and unintentially do exactly that.

6. Light in the glove box.

7. Delete the shark fin.

8. Lumbar support in the seats, my carolla had it, wasnt as good as my Caddy's, but it had it....

9. wider opening for the trunk, looking at it I dont see why it couldnt be wider, a couple inches around would make a world of difference.

10. Airconditioned seats.

11. Capless gas tank like on the F150's

I'm 5'9, and I find the head room tight. I can only imagine how cramped it must feel being your size.

No gas cap option. My fiance's fiesta has that, and it's convenient. Small thing I would change for sure. I'll likely think of more, the longer I drive it.

Locking gas door- not really a security issue, just so used to having to press a button from inside the cabin to open the gas door on every other car. Every time I'm driving a different car I get out, go to the gas pump, pay, turn to put the gas in, and realize I can't open the gas door from the outside because I'm not in my Camaro

Definitely the option on the A6 to move the shifter to the right or left and manually shift using either the shift knob or the paddles.

Front parking sensors- We've got a pretty high line-of-sight on these cars, when trying to navigate parking in a tight situation, it'd be nice to know just how close I am to the car in front of me.

Better handle/groove to hold the door from swinging open.

On the PDIM, allow you to control your iPod/iPhone from the actual device rather than navigate through the car's audio buttons.

With or without the skip shift the LS3 still gets better fuel economy.

And a shorter 3RD gear would've been nice as well. As well as:
-A high 13 second V6
-More of a distinction between the LS3 and other models
-Door lock/unlock buttons by the power window switches
-More power/torque.
-2.5" performance exhaust option
-An adjustable gauge color control (Mustangs have em)
-Smart key/push to start technology for the 2010

And with that said I feel it necessary to add that the illuminating accent Chevy put on the door was a very nice touch. It really makes the interior nice...and girls LOVE it!! I personally love the stock rims on the SS!! The extra gauges was a nice touch...it's nice to see you trans temp, oil temp, etc. The color options are amazing!! The interior is sexy as hell!! The ride is as comfortable as a mattress, yet it'll bang corners and handle like a beast!!

I have no complaints...this is hands down the best car I've ever owned!! And for what I paid for it, I still can't believe its outside in my parking spot!!
I thought the same thing about DRL on the car. I would have liked to see them on during regular light use. However someone else on the thread claimed that in some states it is illegal to have fog lights on during night because they are supposedly brighter, sort of like high beams, in order to be bright enough to be seen in daylight. Therefore, they never come on, except for day driving. I really wish they made them to match the Halo color instead of using regular halogen bulbs.
