Its pure Muscle Car - If you used to own one like me you will like this car
Cloth Seats were very very comfy
Back seat had room youd expect - fine with me
Interior while a little plain was kinda cool in its simplicity

Its what you expect from a muscle car. I think a lot of us who are older (Im 39) and used to have one at one time forget that Camaros were never meant to appeal to us but the younger crowd and we never complained about visibility, lack of luxry features etc when we were young. We wanted a fast simple car - and this is the car

I have a 2SS Black with Cyber stripes on its way and im very excited.

Its a great car.

Don't get me wrong. I have a Camaro on order I am just saying that I think the mentality has shifted now.







I guess that makes me undecided.

I believe It's actually cheaper for GM to make them all the same. The more features they can duplicate on every car, the cheaper it gets for them to make. So in your case, more people are going to want power windows and cruise control, instead of not having those features. So, GM decided to put them on all cars to try to please the most customers at one time...

I, too, JUST NOW finally saw and sat in one this weekend and was hugely impressed and happy it came out how it did. It was pretty much a base V6 car, but I got to spend a couple minutes in it and was pleased by more than a few things.

One of them, was the feel and look of the plastic inside. I like the look of the dash and like that that there's no gloss. The feel is a little less than desireable for me but it's not like I spend all my time rubbing on the dash. As far as the materials go, in this example, I think it's great and better than the last generations.

I like that it's easy to get in an out of. The rocker doesn't seem to come up quite as high as the last generation.

The seats feel bigger but more comfortable, I think.

I love the telescoping steering column.

There are some other things too, but these are just a few comments I had.
