-Radio controls on left of wheel not right. It makes much more sense. Why? Makes more sense, not sure I understand what sense you are comparing this too?
-Needs lane change alert system, massive blind spots. I agree there are blind spots, but many cars have blind spots, just need to know where they are, and how to pay attention what is around you at all times. I do like the idea, but this will come at a cost.
-Sunroof opens to top of roof which is ugly. Not much room but should hide inside roof. There is no room to have the sunroof come inside and still leave room for people that are tall to be able to drive there Camaro. Example, I am 6' tall and when driving with my helmet( 1/4 mile. My helmet is touching the roof, if I had a sunroof, I would never fit. I too do not like the sunroof outside when open, which is why I decided to go without one when ordering my Camaro.

There was a similar thread to this one not to long ago and I am still of the same opinion.If you want a bunch of creature comforts go buy a Cadillac,BMW or a Mercedes.Somewhere to store sunglasses

Climate Control! I can't believe my 2013 2SS doesn't have it. My 2004 Malibu has it! My 1997 BMW has it! My 2000 Tahoe has it!! My 2004 Caddy has it! Pathetic... every car should have it! I can't imagine it cost much... all you do is add a temp sensor... and all you need is a few buttons (which might be an overall cost savings). Buttons to set the temp and a Defrost button (when auto isn't defrosting correctly).

Nice one there. Set and forget.

And don't knock a good place to put your sunglasses if they could get that in there. Can't tell you how many times I had them in a little recessed spot in another car I owned and after braking hard or taking a corner they were lost under the passenger seat when I wanted them.not a necessity by any means but I would use them if i had one. My last car did and it worked for me.

What am I missing here?

There is a trunk button.
There is a button on the drivers door, and one on the FOB.

Climate control, seat memory, auto unlock when you touch the door handle with the fob in your pocket, My wife's jeep has this and push button start.

maybe we like the looks of the Camaro but would like a few more options/ Creature comforts, Hell my 2008 Altima had most of those listed. I prefer the Camaro but there is nothing wrong with wanting a few more things in it.

Better paint quality control, other than that I think it is a well executed and engineered vehicle. Im more than confident GM will evolve the car in a most savory way for gen 6.

[banter]

I can agree with bigger trunk opening for sure, but trunk button. I have one on the door and one on the key fob... And i don't even have a key lock on the trunk for that matter!

Here are a few things I think it should have...
-Sunglasses holder = This is a basic on many other cars. This is retarded...
-Those sun visors are a joke, they should fold out to become larger. Or just tint the top of the windshield.
-Radio controls on left of wheel not right. It makes much more sense. That's subjective to opinion of the driver
-Needs lane change alert system, massive blind spots. I don't have blind spots, you should just learn how to adjust your mirrors appropriately..
-Sunroof opens to top of roof which is ugly. Not much room but should hide inside roof. Don't have a sunroof so I can't comment on this.


Thx

I think they should shed about 400-500lbs.
They should make power seats an option.
Keyfob should be like the vette. Keyless entry and start.

Unlucked car in garage. Crap to put in trunk. Saying S $!# as I forget to have it already open, and need to go open the door and hit the button or hunt the key out of my pocket if I have it with me. Just had one on every other car and keep forgetting not here.

Not a big deal, just different.

I believe the OP stated "current Camaro". Everyone else may be interpreting next gen, but he asked about "current".

1. Retractable Hard top convertible.

2. The center console guages need 2 changes; first the upper left guage is blocked from complete view by the left climate control knob, and second the guages should be slightly angles towards the driver.

3. The seat belt receptacles should be moved upwards so that, if the driver has the seat in the upper position he/she does not have to fumble to engage the buckle.

4. The console should be redesigned so that a right arm rest is available.

5. Offer the "Curb Alert" as a factory installed item.

6. Put the battery somewhere that does not require complete disassembly of the trunk to access it.

there is a very specific reason it is on the passenger side.

it was stated during the development of the car, the doors are very long, having the fuel filler on the drivers side would cause the majority of people to have to open the door INTO the pump, thereby making it easier to bang up the car.

as far as I know trucks and SUV's get their rears tinted because people store personal belongings back there, as such a passerby can see into the vehicle and see your secured items. Tinted windows make this more difficult.

since the Camaro has a locking trunk with a lid, no one can see into, tinting the rear window from the factory is not needed, and therefore becomes more of a personal choice than one made by OEM out of safety.

all the vehicles you name are 4 or more passenger vehicles likely to be used for the transportation of multiple people regularly.

a 2 door 2 seater (yeah sorry the back seat is not intended for regular use on a Camaro or any other 2-door vehicle) doesn't have any need for Auto Climate Control. The vehicle cools down or heats up very quickly because of the tight quarters..

neither does a sports car in general, it adds complexity, cost, and weight.

I personally see zero need for it... I've had it in almost every vehicle I've owned since 1996, and I can recall never using it..
