Question about nav...
Will a navigation system/gps system be an option? From the pics of the production interior, i couldnt find a place where they would put it... Photoshop opportunity maybe?

there is not going to be an option for a nav screen type system. the only nav option in the car will be onstar that will give you turn by turn directions

Kinda Disappointing!
They have NAV in most of all the SUV vehicles and I've even seen evidence in the New Volt.
Oh Well :(

Supposedly the in dash navigation system will come at a later time, that is an option I will get. Don't want to clutter up my dash with a tacky clip on. If I can afford a new Camaro another $2k isn't going to break me.

Otherwise paying $2000 for something you can get for less than $200 is a complete waste of money. That's $1800 you can use on other things. I use my Nav maybe once a month, often not at all in a month. Attaching the portable unit to the windshield (or side window if the window is up) for a short time is hardly a big deal... |

I just read a thread where a guy is planning on taking out the L99 engine and replacing it with something different, it going to cost him $6k. He even spent the money on the parts even before he got his Camaro. So if I am wasting my money you should tell this guy he is wasting his, here is the thread: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6276 You might not understand my logic, but it's my money and I plan on going all out with this car. Just like many other people here will drop thousands extra on this car making modifications after they get the Camaro. The difference between me, you, and many people here I won't question how these people spend their money because they have different priorities and I understand/respect that. If you're really that interested in saving people money you should talk them out of buying the Camaro, while it's a very beautiful/desirable car people don't need it.

When my father was talking to his friend about his new vehicle he showed him the navigation system and his friend started criticizing him for spending his money on this. Get this, the guy spends his money collecting firearms. He owns over 30 rifles and he got his nerve to criticize how he spends his money. Again I have no problem with people spending thousands on their vehicle or even collecting firearms. If they enjoy it, or see the value in having these things they should go for it. Only if they would have the mental capacity to understand that some people see the value of an in dash navigation system for several reasons and just accept it.

I think that a unit similar to the one found in the Cadillac CTS-V could be made to fit with only slight revisions to the dash area design in the future. Having said that, this weekend we completed a trip to Bowling Green Kentucky in the new Z06. My car contains factory Nav and On-Star. We used both for Navigation in different instances. The OnStar turn-by-turn navigation is very nice, and much quicker to use in most cases. My wife really likes it because she doesn't really want to fool with the Navigation system. I was impressed with the OnStar service but hope that perhaps a later model camaro will be offered with navigation.
