Nice! It does not surprise me. Available technology on the base model is phenomenal.

I cannot believe that JDP considers the Camaro a midsize car??? WTF?

Yes, it has awesome tech. But it is far and away NOT a midsize car.

Sooner or later, this sort of survey topic was bound to show up.

But I agree, the way they seem to have cars matched up to categories needs work. A lot of it. If that list is complete, there isn't even a 'sporty car' category at all, and even Consumer Reports acknowledges the segment.

Wow, you're not kidding. Check out the Outlander, a compact?

Sorry, but what are they even talking about??



"The Camaro has never been known for being on the cutting edge of high-tech equipment and gadgets -- and the new model is no exception. While the 2016 Camaro does add a few new features, such as a larger center touchscreen, a new drive mode selector and configurable LED interior lighting, it still doesn't offer items such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning or any of today's latest high-tech safety gadgets."

Seems to be customer satisfaction with the technology that's there. Not dissatisfaction with what isn't.
