After looking at the dealer pics I decided no way. The Camaro gets the nod this time around. I hope the black/black color combo is not too drab. Maybe there are ways to liven it up. |

This is a pretty easy answer. Sync was designed with Microsoft. Microsoft has being doing UI's for 25-30 years. They know what people complain about and they know what they like. Add to that that MS knows programming systems as opposed to in house developed nav systems which are done by those who don't have the expertise. It is more about experience with systems and customers.
I've used the following Navs: Lexus/Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, Ford (Sync), Chevy (Onstar). It is by far the easiest to use and navigate. Things are where they should be. I would say Merc is right behind Sync but it isn't touch screen and uses some F'ed up knob which I don't care for. Also, the list of compatible devices is very extensive and you will know exactly what features you can and cannot use before you plug in the device. Then, on top of that, you can update the system yourself. Go to syncmyride.com, download the update to a USB drive, plug into your sync system and BAM you've been updated. As a matter of fact my Sync system was having issues downloading my phonebook on my Android phone because of "linked" contacts (a.k.a. linking someone's FB info to the info on my exchange server). I updated the Sync system with a flash drive I had and the issue was solved. Now, not everything is solved (I'd still like txt support on Android) but that was an easy fix. It's a great system and worth every penny in my personal opinion. Certain things require ongoing subscriptions (Sirius Travel Link) but they are obnoxiously cheaper than Onstar and not all that expensive absolutely ($70/yr).

i think, by and large, people who drive BMW's are dicks/biotches.
Now that is not everyone, but it seems that if someone is a dick/biotch they are more likely than not driving a BMW. I don't know what it is... but that's the way it rolls here in Houston. It is the sole reason I won't drive one. They are nice cars, very selvet, well executed but oddly priced and way too much of a rep comes with them.

I will say that i don't like the gills as well until you put inlays in them...sets it of subtly and still retains some class.. my personal thoughts on that..

I ended up with this SS from Mall Chevy, in Cherry Hill, NJ
They had a nice selection of Camaros SSes, treated me fairly, gave me a fair price on the SS, got me great financing, and most importantly gave me a fair price for my Gen-4 WS6 trade in. Most dealers do not want Gen-4s and price the trade in accordingly. Dan Reilly was my sales agent and was a nice no pressure guy to work with. I love driving the car so far. Once I get more time in it I will post a final review and post my reflections on my decision. Last edited by Fraxum; 08-31-2010 at 10:06 AM. |

Camaro owners also have a rep too. I do not fit. I do not care, I like the car. Drive what you dig, damn the torpedos. |

Hmmm, I will look around for those. Also not digging the size of the grid on the grill. But I see this can be altered too.
