Honestly, and I don't mean to be offensive here:

The competition offers in-dash NAV.

Every reason provided to not have in-dash NAV might be spot-on 100% correct when critically analyzed. That being said, "retraining" your customers to see your point of view analytically is usually problematic.

If it weren't, Betamax would have beaten VHS. Betamax might have been a better product, but nobody cared, and VHS won.

They had all these years to prepare and it seems like they still are behind schedule. Options like HUD should be available at launch why would they show it on their website? Fixed mirrors !!! Its been a few times break away mirrors came through for me. I thought that was a standard option in cars nowadays.

 

I'd love to hear more about the "Bumblebee" package. My guess, different color yellow V6 with leather package and RS package plus black twin stripes. I don't see how that can come in under $26k though. And more then that and you alienate(pun intended) your target audience.

 

I agree. Kind of a dropped ball on that one. Some people just dont like Onstar. Me personally, I dont like Nav systems, but if the competition offers it, it has to be matched. Maybe they can slap one in the '11 model if there is enough of an uproar about it.

 

CamaroScotty is a good man. Knows his stuff. He's helped the Camaro community quite a bit.

 

Hmmmmm...

Hope they aren't painted (packaged) into a corner there.

 

I would tend to agree with you, except, the first time I drove a vehicle with in-dash Nav system (a friend's Pontiac Torrent) we were in a town that we didn't know, and we actually used the Nav to make our way around! We went off the beaten trail a couple times (looking for stores, etc.) and the neat thing with GPS/Nav systems, is they always guide you back to where you are going. If you only had the printed directions from Point A to Point B, you'd be lost if you got off track.

Yes, an aftermarket Nav system will do the trick, but having seen what the system will do, I can see the appeal to having it installed right from the factory .

..... not that I would actually get Nav in a vehicle of my own .

 

What does that mean? Like most new cars it's probably got zero rear visibility but if it doesen't have a camera what does it have, proximity beep. Thanks, but no thanks.


Vinyl I take it?

Also anyword about interior trim pieces and what they consist of or colors?

 

I'd rather pay $400 to get a Garmin than $1200 for in-dash NAV.

 

Me too.

Some folks apparently wouldn't though.

 

To add interest after the initial fever wears off. Gives it something more towards the middle of a long model year.

 

I don't like the tacked on look of a Garmin or any other hand held. If I NEEDED to, I could just use my hand held unit, but I don't like the idea that GM is trying to force my hand on the issue.

I guess I got spoiled by the unit in my Grand Cherokee.
