GM doesnt need it. between OnStar, Bluetooth, and the first showing in the CTS of teh 40 gig hard drive, who really really needs it? OnStar system could be total GM's without havign to worry about license fees or any of that garbage.

When was the last time onstar gave you a display of the 5 closest gas stations, the direction to them, and the price of regular unleaded? Personally I think sync IS the way to go, especially since sync 2.0 can do anything onstar can currently do, and sometimes even do it better.

BUT sync isn't likely to end up in any GM product until GM realizes that onstar is NOT the answer to on-board nav.

Might want to try it first. Its amazing. It also only costs $300! I will admit I am biased towards it but it is a damn good product.

What's so great about sync? Is it a Microsoft product?

Here's what I found on wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Sync

Apparently it's actually a Ford product, but it uses a mobile variant of Windows.

That answers my second question but not the first.

Thanks! It's a great car and a lot of fun but I fell in love with it when I first saw it in Australia. Happened to be on an aircraft carrier and we stopped in Perth/Fremantle. Had heard about ther Monaro becoming our GTO so stopped at Shacks Holden. I do like the Holden styling better but that growl still grabs ya on either model. Just pulling the grill pieces makes it a whole different animal. Faster too by 50 mph in the 1/4.

Fancy, yet very affordable iPod/phone integration. Killer feature for the youth market. (Don't believe it's in the Mustang yet.)

Ontopic, the recent pics show that the interior of the Camaro blows away the Challenger IMO.

From Edmunds:
Not surprisingly, the V8-equipped Camaro SS delivers better numbers across the board. Chevy's Camaro SS outfitted with the 422-hp 6.2-liter LS3 V8 six-speed manual hits 60 mph in 4.9 seconds and runs a 13.4-second quarter-mile at 108 mph according to Oppenheiser. Strangely enough, Oppenheiser also claims that the automatic-equipped SS Camaro, which is rated at 400 hp, runs from zero to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 13.3 seconds. "We optimized the shift points," he said.

Both versions of the V8 Camaro SS pull a maximum 0.90 g on the skid pad. Four-piston Brembo brakes help stop the Camaro SS in 117 feet.

What this means to you: If Chevrolet's numbers pan out, the Camaro SS will be every bit as fast as the Dodge Challenger SRT8 for a lot less money.Kelly Toepke, News Editor
(emphasis added)

THAT's what I was looking for.

I'm definitely waiting for the Camaro.

auto SS for me.
