really? your (Camaro) door unlocks due to the proximity of the key?

The height of the rear view mirror blocks my view out the windshield, even with it pushed all the way up. And i don't like the looks of the backup sensors in the bumper, plus you have to dig wax out of them or wax around them.

For me, the onstar mirror is the most unsafe feature of the car.

Oh, ok, just wondering.

Sorry, about the sensors. Guess you should have been an early order then you wouldn't have them..

i think they should have put in a key lock/unlock for the trunk. b/c what if the button in the driver door and your key decide to stop working?? no way to manually open the trunk unless you go through the back seat or youre trapped in the trunk for some odd reason. lol

1. LOCKING FUEL DOOR!
2. Keyless entry
3. A way to download info from the car directly into a smartphone (like OnStar does with that email it sends)
4. A tire iron and scissor jack, even if there is no spare.
5. Lumbar support on the driver's seat.

How about a tissue dispenser in an overhead console so you can wipe yo wittle tears away, awww... :(

A locking gas cap is like $15...most cars don't have locking fuel doors anyway. SHould have ordered your car with keyless. Should have waited until 2011 for the onstar phone app. and why do you need a tire iron and jack if there is no spare? If it's that big of a deal, and for whatever purpose, yank one out of another car that will fit.

Granted, the lack of lumber support in the driver's seat is weird. I'm not 100% sold on these seats...They're good, but not great. IMHO that's where GM should have spent just a little extra money on features and materials. That's where people spend all their time is in the seat. It should be something they crow about---'this is the greatest car seat, EVAR!'

Emblempros.com has some nice emblems. And they can probably make you what you want if you were to talk to them.

I got this one for my car. You can put it on your hood cowl, below the Camaro on the fenders, on the trunk lid...where ever you like. And they have other choices too.

For the record...navigation would have been nice a nice option.

Spare tire for the SS. Somehow they need to make the tires and the trunk space compatible with carrying a spare in the SS.

A way to open the trunk with the key in case the battery goes dead and you can't open it with the remote.

Height adjustable passenger seat.

Stock height should be 1" lower.

Better sounding exhaust.

Body-color bowties.

Nav. screen option.

Take car functions out of the radio so it's easier to replace the head unit with a better one.

DRL's should be on a switch so they can come on with the halos on RS cars.

Ambient lighting should extend across the dash.

[its a syn]

electric drivers seat override to let a passenger out the drivers side in less than 2 minutes!!!!

Locking fuel door, cap is worthless, if they want in they'll get in and it just adds to the repair costs when they tear it apart.

Key fob works well, I've actually taken to locking and unlocking with they key since a ring of car thiefs was busted in a local parking lot hijacking the remote key codes as people were locking their cars with the remotes as they walked away.

I get the Onstar email on my smartphone so not a big deal.

Tire iron and jack for a car with no spare...seriously?!

Lumbar would be nice but the seats are pretty dam comfortable to me.

Now if you really want to be pissed off it should be for lack of a glove box light....

No car is perfect but GM got it right by not loading the car (and the price) up with a bunch of things a MUSCLE CAR doesn't need.

Pine tree air freshener

[Bond]

Height adjustable seatbelts
Smaller/ higher rearview mirror
Ditch the bowties, add big "SS'"
Maybe a cubic inch or horsepower rating on the hood

Other than this bit of nit-pickin.. I love my car and an very appreciative of GM bringing our beloved Camaro back to life, and to Ed Welburn, for the design criteria.
Everyday is a perfect day in my Camaro!
