Saw Camaro's at Indy and then at Philly...including the ABM, VIN 000008. Was able to sit in most. Outstanding. Can't wait.

dissappointed that i wasnt BLOWN AWAY in person like i assumed that i would be. i pray it was just the color.

what exactly is the problem with the leather? I have not seen a 2010 camaro in person and i am very curious about why the quality of the leather is not good?

Anyone have any pictures of the leather seats with the SS stitching?

I saw it in Orlando and thought it looked much better in person than it does in pictures. It was a black V6 and it got a LOT of attention. You weren't allowed to get near it much less sit in it so I was bummed about that. Needless to say I was very impressed. I want one and I drive a Mustang.

The leather is more than fine I not only have seen it but touched it. I believe some of these people were expecting Cadillac grade leather in a Camaro

HeatherR · 02-14-2009, 11:06 AM

I have seen many :-) Sat in many :-) and driven a few! I have not been disaapointed at all- and I had reservations concerning the interior in pictures, but was pleasantly surprised after seeing, sitting in, and driving production vehicles! No longer have the victory red, but my husband is scheduled to get a silver SS next week. I will post pics when I get a chance :-)

I saw the silver with orange interior at the LA Auto show. Luckily, I was working there until long after the show closed and the exhibitors left. My supervisor let me get up close and personal with that car. Easily the best night of work, ever.

havnt seen it. i live in BFE, cali so chances of me seeing one is when they become available.

djm96z28 · 02-14-2009, 11:51 AM

I will see it for the first time tomorrow at the JAX auto show. It's a yellow 2LT, auto, non RS. Can't wait.

If you look at Camaro Scotty's pics of the Vic Red/CGM camaro from Chicago, you will see what turned me off to the leather. In the pax seat. Pic related.

It's on both bolsters, pax and drivers side. And when I sat in it, I wasn't too impressed. Now it is good leather and I was in NO way expecting caddy grade leather; I guess it's personal preference (and I generally hate leather).

I haven't seen it at all. Yet.... It won't be long before it's in showrooms, or before I have my own!

The Great KJ · 02-14-2009, 12:09 PM

I hope it's not like the leather seats in my Tahoe. Everytime I hit the brakes I feel like I'm going to slide underneath the dashboard.

I saw the Koni challenge car at Daytona a couple of weekends ago...and was not entirely thrilled. Car is bigger than I had hoped, but...I guess I should have been a bit more prepared after seeing the weight of the car. Also, I don't think the blue does much for accentuating the lines of the car...

I haven't changed/canceled my order and I'm still #3 of 6 at my dealer and waiting patiently in anticipation of quickly getting it into the shop for it's first round of upgrades...
