..Not to mention the manual itself!!...very uninformative and disjointed...

I am enjoying reading these comments.

Many very, very inspired. Some entertaining.

Great job, guys -- keep it coming! One of the biggest assets to being a Camaro Enthusiast involved in the community is the various inputs we have to the team of great people who Make our cars. Take advantage when these opportunities present themselves!

A couple of body ideas here. The taillights make the one piece rectangular in shape, Put the backup lights in the assembly also. The rear bumper cover instead of making it come to a point in the center flaten it out with maybe a little more pronounced bumper. The nose of the car is to sharp round it out a tad And please make the rs model like the original and give it hideaway headlights.

T top is a must, hide away headlights, for the l99 sport mode should disable afm, and upgradeable performance goodies (sways, springs, headers, superchargers, and etc that keeps the warranty
Just my 2cent

Would like a larger entrance into the trunk and more support for mods. Leds lights (no sunglasses though) as standard would be nice as well and of course a bit lighter and better handling. though seriously if ya want to give the corvette the best at least allow the mod community to keep their warranty.

I'm curious...in terms of safety wasn't the Camaro one of the first cars to ace the new NHTSA crash standards for 2012?

Will there be the possibility of front knee-airbags? or rear-side/thorax bags? The small Chev's are getting as many as 10, and I think the current Camaro only has 6?

-2 front
-2 side curtain
-2 side seat

right?

1. Useful sun-blocking Sun Visors
2. No Sharkfin - or make it bigger and meaner looking - may as well add dorsal fins to go along with the gills in that case.
3. No Nav Screen - I don't like having a video game to distract me; or at least make it a hide-away so I can use it if I really need to.
4. Useful trunk lid and space.

Janet...I've thought of something else.

I'm very happy with the "good from the start" approach the team has taken with the 5th gen. Although this raises the initial price a bit, it helps the car appear much more competent. (see: 4-corner Brembos)

I'm also impressed with the refinement the Camaro has versus other cars in the segment.

Two easy things -- software vs hardware... More HUD display options, and the ability to auto reset the trip meter upon refueling (I actually reset avg fuel economy, speed, etc. too but I'd settle for a Trip A reset).

T Tops would be cool.
