Oh, and GM, if you are reading this...please, please, please make those seats as low as possible!!! The taller folks would LOVE the extra head room!!!

I'm only 5'8" and I just like to sit low in the car. No, not the gangsta lean. I just like to feel like I'm sitting IN the car and not ON it.

Exaclty. If you want to sit high, use the electric seat button and move the seat upwards.

I'm 5'9"

and I always have my seat all the way up. I've always had trucks and jeeps so i've gotten used to being able to bend my knees.

After driving my Mazda 3 I've gotten used to more of a lower seating position.

I'm interested in seeing how the camaro is oriented.

Me too. I have pretty good head room in the 4th Gen, but it could be better. We have to fix my wifes Kia...the electric seat button broke and it's stuck all the way up. My head is about a 1/4 inch from the roof....IT SUCKS.

How about a swivel?

Well I'm pretty wide so I'm okay with regular seats. But I'm also tall so I say low seats please!

I at least would like an option for premium seats, like the HHR SS seats pictured earlier in this thread. I know the interior is still being hashed out, but I'm not feeling those seats used in the pre-pro prototypes...they look really cheap. Hopefully, they're just placeholders and the actual seats are still being developed.

But yeah...I'm not a seat snob, per se, but I do want a good supportive seat for a sportscar like this. The seats in the concepts looked outstanding...hopefully we'll get something similar.

I sat in a 04 vette and the side of the seat closest to the drivers door was worn out. The padding was gone and the leather had a bad crease in it from the steel part of the seat. Sure wouldnt want that on the Camaro.

I'm 6'1 and still growing :|. In the past year I've noticed some height issues.. My 4th gen gets annoying sometimes, I feel my hair rubbing around the roof. Nothing more annoying than that lol. Sooo I'm hoping for some electric bucket seats that can be moved realllll low..

I have a cloth (but really not grippy cloth) bench seat in my 1970 Cutlass. Combined with pretty bad seatbelts, the only thing keeping me on my side of the car during a left hand turn was my death grip on the steering wheel. My Cobalt has pretty decent side bolsters for an economy car, and it is even the base model with the lowest quality seats. The bolsters are enough to keep me in place and they are still pretty comfortable, but then again I don't drive it as aggressively as I will drive my Camaro and I think I just have low standards coming off the Cutlass. I'm going for leather, and I'm hoping for a part-way balance between comfort and grip, as this thing will be both a daily driver and a weekend track machine. I could go for the seats in the new HHR SS I think.
