That would be cool i just like to see 4 cupholders. Just build them in the dash like a ashtray so you can pull them out and put the other 2 in the back of the console.

That's how I'd like to see them. That way they're unobtrusive when you don't need them. Just make sure they're the kind that can expand or shrink to accomodate various size drinks.

Heated and cooled would be nice, but I don't think the pull out kind could be.

If there were no cupholders, where would everyone put their morning coffee? (Or occasional Hot Chocolate in my case since coffee is nasty.)

That, and I (and I'm sure most people) like to have a beverage for trips that are over 20 minutes or so.

Yeah, no cupholders would seriously make it less attractive to most people.

Maybe if they put the pull out cupholders right at the air and heat vent in the dash

I agree, this car needs to be built as a daily driver since the majority of people will use it as such. Heated and cooled i can certainly do without, but it has to have some kind of cup holders.

Maybe they should stick one of the cup holders in front of the ancillary gauges. Its not like they are going to be that useful in the lower console anyway.

This part. I dont know, sounds kinda expensive. A thermal cup could practically keep your coffee hot all day for free if you were worried. You can get an Ice cold soda, Sport drink, or water at any gas station or, convience store. Just doesnt seem like it would be worth it...

My '91 didn't have any cupholders, let alone heated and cooled. It actually served me well. It taught me not to eat/drink in my car. A spot for a cell phone would be nice, but I could live without cupholders. Plus, we all have that clumsy friend, well call him Mr. Upholstery Ruiner..."oh hey can i take this strawberry shake?"..."sorry man, no cupholders."

Well, if you stop and get a 20oz Coke, and have a ride that's 30 mins to an hour it gets warm unless you drink it fast. I'm not concerned with the heated part really. Cooled would be nice imo though.

Honestly, I'm not THAT concerned about cooled either. If it's not there I don't care that much. But it is a nice convenience if it can be done for little $.

Heated and cooled cupholders are an indulgence in excess that the Camaro in no way needs. The R&D money spent on that could be spent on about a billion other things that are far more important on the car.

I highly doubt that if they were to develop heated and cooled cup holders that it would be exclusive to the Camaro. I would think they would spread the costs across as many product lines as possible, which would mean the cost would be rather minimal. Plus, don't they already have heated and cooled cup holders on the Caddys and Buicks? So really there would be next to no new development costs....

With that said, I do not want heated or cooled cup holders in my 5th gen.... but if there is a market for them, then make them an option.
