Sorry fellows have to ask this. Is HUD still on the table for mid production? I normaly would know but there are so many threads and posts, I must admit it is hard keeping up sometimes.

And they never said we'd get HUD. Admittedly, they had a simulated video, but they took it down very quickly. I...know...everybody's upset. And for the record, I think the idea of no ambient lighting at launch sucks to all heck - it's become my favorite feature about the interior on the car. But I still say the situation we are in, here on online forums and interacting with the Camaro team, is a unique experience. And things like this needs to be handled responsibly without all the speeches about injustices...:( |

Copo, you really need to give it a rest with the damn short stripes issue. I mean voicing your opinion is great, but beating the shit out of a dead horse is borderline annoying. I heard through the grapevine that they were working out issues with the ABL. I heard it might take them some time, but that the goal is to have it working for the first cars. My personal opinion (take it with a grain of salt) is that they are prepared to delay the production if necessary in order to get the ABL right. Everyone take a deep breath and relax. Since GM is in the holiday shutdown, we might not have the answer on this one for a few weeks. Patience. |

Unless someone from GM can state otherwise? Or can at least tell us the current progress of ABL? Or if it were to delay and the car would release without it, what would happen to the price of the MSRP? ABL is incredibly important as it practically makes the interior, and is something that other cars, especially more expensive cars, do not have. I seriously hope they realize that ABL is not a "Well we didn't get it working in time, oh well!" option. Has to be there. |

I still haven't heard anything about a confirmed removal of the lighting, so maybe let's not get worked up about it, ok? I mean, it's freaking LIGHTS. I think that a team of engineers can figure out some lights.
I will start a new rumor to worry about: GM can't get all 8 cylinders to work on SS models, so the first 3 months or so of SS model cars will have 6.2L V8's that have 2 dead cylinders. They will give you cupons for a free fix once they figure it out. And a puppy. |

I agree with not getting worked up !!!!
This thread was created with the question -- what if I sure hope that nobody has taken this thread with the idea that GM has canceled the ambient lighting -- and I surely hope that nobody has taken any action, whatsoever, on their pre-order based on this thread !!! Likewise, I surely hope that this thread has not deterred anyone from making a pre-order. IT IS ONLY A WHAT IF THREAD COPO 70, you shouldn't be calling anything a strike when the pitcher hasn't even thrown the ball yet. Good example of what not to do -- jump the gun on a what if thread. Right now, I am still sitting back with a big, fat smile and anxiously awaiting the day that the Camaro's start rolling out. Now, IF there is ever an official announcement that GM has failed on delivering ambient lighting -- THEN -- |

Okay, based on this new information (which I know is 100 percent accurate since was on the internet), I am just going to change my order to the v6. I would rather not have the weight of two dead cylinders. I have already called my dealer and changed my order. Also, he seemed really confused when I told him that I wanted a golden retriever puppy, and not a black lab (black is too hard to keep clean). But, since I told him I read it on the internet, he assured me that my puppy would be delivered as soon as all of the preproduction puppies had been disposed of. |

I don't want ambient lighting. I'm not buying a video game, I'm buying a car.
