While I could say features I would like are HUD, the option to adjust the colour of lighting in the interior, two tone seats, body coloured interior panels and the like, I think most of them have been mentioned.

The biggest concern I have about this car is pricing. I've stated in other threads the huge discrepancy between US and Canadian prices on equally optioned Chevrolet vehicles and I would like to see that, given the relative equality between the Canadian and US dollars, this parity would be reflected in the price.

If I could cross the border and spend 30k on a Camaro in Bellingham, when a Camaro optioned the exact same way costs 40K in Vancouver, even with the two dollars at the same rate, give or take a penny, I may be deterred from purchasing my dream car.

It's probably too late in the game to change this I don't know but I'd much rather have a folding hard tonneau cover on my convertible than the soft fabric boot...it's a much better look


That's my 2 cents, hopefully someone might pass it along to the Camaro team

HID option

LED's for the gauges and taillights

Something close to the concept seats

A nice DIC

PLEASE MOVE the reverse lights somewhere else for gods sake

AMEN! If GM wants to keep playing that game with us, we (Canadians) SHOULD revolt and either buy something else, or import across the border...which is really dumb considering we would be importing it BACK to Canada.

On second thought, if i have to go through that hassle then screw it, I won't buy. (Note: This is not in any way a criticism of the car itself...it is perfect )

How about asking to make the gold bowtie easy to take off. I would say make it an option, but, coem on, who wants to pay for that when you can do it yourself. Or at least see if they can give us a dealer installed option for a different bowtie.

it's a small thing but someplace or something to do with the gas cap when filling up. I hate the way it just hangs on 4th gen.

Even in our old Geo Metro I had problems not only reaching all the pedels comfortable but shifting with out a problem.
Its made driving a stick shift, hard & something I am not always willing to do.

I am 5'3 & somewhere around 250lbs.

how about a lock release for the gas cap, as expensive as gas is it would be a good idea.

DIFFERENTIATED trim packages, not necessarily a totem pole. "theres a difference between being top dog and the best at what you do." bring more than one player to the field.

Oh and 4xxx pounds is what trucks should weigh, not camaros.

something out of GM's control - I really dont like the b-pillars, I was dreaming of roll-down rear windows but i understand why that dream cant come true

i am probably to late on this or it may have been mentioned but i think it needs to have the ipod jack for sure. Also the wheelwells need to be able to fit some serious meat such as 315s if possible. but if that is to big atleast be able to fit 295s

The B-pillar is the only thing that makes me think that the Camaro might not be as heavy.

Please try to integrate the reverse lights better then what is in the mule/prototype pictures. Probably too late for the 2010 model year, but for 2011 could we get some better looking reverse lights in a better location.

1. Reverse Light incorporated into outter ring of red outside taillights
2. Reverse Light incorporated into inner taillights
3. Reverse Light incorporated into rear top trunk lid area
4. Reverse Light incorporated into bottom half of all 4 taillights
5. Reverse Light incorporated into license bracket area
6. Reverse Light incorporated into license bracket area 2






Could we get a hint on what will be the emblem for the front/rear i.e. a Camaro emblem, Chevy symbol?

More details on interior features like the paddle shifters, Navigation possibility and the led lighting inside.

Also how about a few pictures of the camaro chosen few standing or sitting in it.

Last how about a few pictures of the new Camaro next to a new Mustang
and a person standing next to both.

September is going to be an awesome month!
