Anyone heard if GM to address Passenger seat - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Memory seating would be a big plus and I would pay more $ for it. I get the seat adjusted just right and then my wife drives the car and I have to start all over again.

Definitely recommend memory seat adjust for the drivers side. Adjustable passenger seat would be nice, but not a big deal in my opinion.

mywife or daughter cant see over the hood as a passenger,
and the lack of driver 1-2 memory is pathetically too nostalgia.
no lumbar setting?

My gal doesn't HAVE to see over the hood for what SHE'S doing!

What?!?! Crossword puzzles.

You guys need to get your minds outta the gutter.

I (and others) agree about the passenger power seat.

We're working on it.....

........further, "Mom Settlemire" has threatened to 'ground' the entire team unless we come up with a dealer installed retro-fit as an accessory. She loves her Camaro -- but her friends claim they can't see out........

More to come.

A retrofit, like an official booster seat?

Add my wife to the list who wants to adjust her seat up so she can see over the dash. I would pay for the option also.

The problem here is that GM is trying to sell this car at a less expensive price, with less weight, and to the masses. That means that 80% of the time, you are going to be driving the car by yourself....no passenger. I want the car light. So, no power seat is necessary for me on the passenger side. I would have to say that GM wants to sell the car to the masses and I would be part of that majority. So, I think it would be better not to make the passenger seat 6-way standard, but make it an option for those who have a smaller passenger in their car more often.

I don't understand how much more it would cost to do...nor am I a bean counter up there at GM headquarters. I don't think GM would sell too many of them....but that's just me.

I can just picture THAT discussion with the "ladies'...very, very cute...I think your Mom having an SS, I mean ES, ROCKS!!!...my Dad was the same way, thinking and acting "young and cool"...he always said, "I'd rather wear out, than rust out"...lol...another thing he would say is, "I'll have plenty of time to sleep when I'm dead"...he always wanted to be out there having fun with the grandkids...he lived to age 82...

We'll see once I get my car back, and the excitement wears off, if there is any complaining... and if so, I'll tell them to go buy their own Camaro

Good one...
