But .......my car will only be two years old!.......It will only have
10K miles on it,and there is a better version already ?!

And has any one actually SEEN an "integrated exhaust manifold"

OH! I GET IT !! THE STEERING WHEEL IS THE ROBOTS CODPIECE !!! Its going to be a financial WINDFALL for Chevrolet. I knew they was finna pull something like this in designing cues when they had the lil vote thing and a lot of the choices were like trying to nudge us to look at the "Split-Swathy-Stripey Thing". well Its here. lol. I like the badge in the "4" of 45 and the nod in the coloring of the stiching as well. It will definitely help us to continue to beat that other car in sales.

Think if you had bought a 5.0L TPI '85 IROC with 215hp, then the '86s came out with only 190hp and how happy you were.............
Then the '87s had 215hp again, but with 20more tq and roller lifters and 5spd availability and a one piece rear main seal and center bolt valve covers....
Then the '88s had a new cam with 5 more hp.
Then the '89s had dual cats and 10 more hp.
And the 5.7L got hp improvements too.....
It's the way of the World. Would you want GM to NOT make any improvements?

You have ABM though. I regret selling my ABM every day...literally.

We've gotta wait and see if it's better in the real world vs. just better on paper. Enjoy what you have now! Upgrade later when there is substantial reason to, if you wish.

very cool

[Dasein]

I wonder if pricing will be similar? Might just consider waiting for the 2012 instead of getting a used 2010.

& when's this set for release? I just started seeing 2011's recently, so I assume not for a while...

I LOLed at this.



Well done sir. Well done.

Fen, does the 45th Anniversary Edition at CF2 have the new 2012 interior gauge package? If so, can you post some pictures of instruments?

[Lazerbrainz2k3]

I'll be interested to see what it'll take (and cost) to retrofit that 2012 mirror and backup camera system into a 2010. It's been done, of course, but having a big truck mirror in my limited forward visibility real estate doesn't appeal to me much. We'll see.

I like the red & blue stitching too. May have to do that on mine.

Hmm two problems.

A) I'm not at CF2. :(

B) GM hasn't released photos of the new gauges.

So nope, haven't seen them. Although the side interior view kindasorta shows a small portion of the new font I suppose.

[cam fan]

they should call it the INCEPTION edition because it has a stripe within a stripe

[dgformula2k]

I just love LOVE that 45th logo incorporating the dearly departed Camaro stripe logo. The rally stripes, meh. I'll have to get used to them. If Chevy replaces the Cruze airbag cover with one that says "Camaro" the '12 will be perfect. I noticed none of those pics showed the new center stack. Hmm...
