I have heated seats in my Grand Prix. Love them. In a new Camaro??? Cooled would be all that I would desire.

How much do you guys weigh? I'm 140 lbs. When I take my car out, should I tell my woman that she can't ride with me because she's an extra 125 lbs?

Sheesh man, eat something!! 140lbs...you must be like 5'2? If thats the case, you also have to factor in the weight of the 2-3 phone books on the driver seat .

After driving/riding in my GF 2007 Aura with heated cloth seats all I can say is I'd buy that same option on a Camaro in a second.

Heated seats I could see as an option just because its more common on cars now as an option.
I know how you feel, my back is soaked after even a 20 mile drive or so.

This is not a luxury car.
Buy a buick or a cadillac.

My buddy's Denali is like a friggin spa! A/C on and the seat warmer on medium!

my upper is cool, but my lower half is warm!

Although the Camaro isn't really a cold climate type vehicle to require heated seats... But October to November w/ no snow can get kind of chilly here...

I'd love to have them, really just cooled seats but they are always bundled with seat heating.

I think we'll get heated seats as an option since other cars in the market segment have them, but I think they will leave cooled seats on the shelf for development $ and time reasons. While I would order them for sure (they would be great to fight back sweat with the T-Tops off in 90-95 degree heat) they aren't a make or break option for me.

Now how about that in dash nav system with a map screen ? Onstar turn by turn doesn't do it for me.

I'd rather have a Garmin or something than a proprietary system included with the car.

You guys sound like your more in the market for a Corvette than the stripped down Vette that the Camaro is SUPPOSED to be.
Not gonna get all that fancy crap that helps performance none, without increasing the price substantially.

Same here. I'd rather have something I can remove instead of that big ugly screen in the dash all the time.

Besides, I've read that those in-car Nav units are actually REDUCING trade-in value due to the fact that they will become too out of date in years to come as new hardware becomes available.

Garmin Nuvi 350 is the way to go (you can even use it in place of a handheld map when you're visiting a city such as NY).

Heated seats I can see, but as nice as cooled seats are, I doubt we'll see them. I know this isn't apples to apples, but my 07 Cobalt SS/SC came with leather heated seats. They were not an option, just came with the car. That may be the way GM is going? They were nice last winter.

First off i dont understand the logic in this. The ac pump is on or off right? then the blend door and the fans control the amount hand how cold the air coming in is.


i think the heated seats on this car seem well sorta odd because most camaros will be driven in warm weather. But i do see chevy putting heated seats in. I could logically see a/c seats more then heated but i dont see chevy putting them in there and personally dont think they belong there but hey i just wont order that option if its has it.

My friends 350z has heated/cooled seats. Even though its at least 80* here in SC at night, we still have the windows open and the heated seats on. Feels good on the bum.
