Ambient Lighting?

[bigd1276]

For those of us who have been around here for a long time, remember all of the drama around ambient lighting? It was supposed to go across the dash but never made it into the 2010 model or any since then. With the introduction of the "refreshed" 2014, I still see no mention of it. Am I the only one who thought we would see the full ABL by now?

I remember the concerns about abstructing drivers view but since GM has since installed them across the dash on tons of other models, I would have theoght GM would have finally made it happen for the Camaro.

I was expecting to see factory afterburner tail lights by now

Or at least tail lights that were distinctive and not ugly or commonplace.

So the question that still needs answering is why didn't it make it into the refreshed 2014?

They were busy trying to make it appeal to anyone who does not have a camaro allready because they are dissing this body style....thus the do anything approach to some things...like the tiny hood extractor, the extensive use of plastic.....and well a lack of tasteful design unfortunate for those of us who could design better ourselves, and desired more. The tail lights reek of modern design along with the chopped grill and the lower grill missing a horizontal fin to be just plastic...why ?because the bumper support is there the true bumper...rolled steel..so naturally that part of the front lower valance is non functional to get air into the radiator. And the lack of the center break of the rear trunk lid and down the rear are just a total modern unbroken flow line kind of thinking. Too many cars now have the same bland ugly look and that sells I guess to masses of people....No chrome, no real stylistic style just transportation.......consider the 57 chevy belair, the nomad, the chevelle, the monte carlo, ETC ETC they all could be readily destinguished at a distance by the curves and fins..chrome etc and they were and are beautiful. Some day our cars I believe will be modern classics and be appreciated for such in the future as EPA liberal agenda slowly chokes the muscle car along with fuel prices, taxes, and big government programs.........

Actually, if you look at the 'What's New for 2014' manual (http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=285431) it does say 'NEW (BRD) Available Blue Interior Accent Trim Package'.

Now we just have to wait and see what 'NEW' means...

My impression of that option is that it would be similar to what is offered on the Mustang. Blue striping within the leather seats.

There was a kit that was advertised here somewhere once. I meant to order it, but never got around to it.
