Keyless entry/start. Just like on the Vettes. While this isn't a priority or anything, it would be nice to have.

And, yes! please. That would just be another cool thing on a cool car!

You guys want more options than a Bentley has. Do you want headlight wipers also?

No, but the "hand me down" theory from the Corvette to similar year F-Car was a gift to F-car owners. We are hoping that the same happens for the next Camaro. Not only would it continue to give Camaro owners more options (before and after ownership is taken), but it could make it more affordable as well.

While I don't agree since I'd rather have a real key on a Camaro, at least just please give the Camaro real door handles on the inside. The C6 push-button exit thing is an answer to a question that no one asked. I feel the same way on the key fob/push start thing, although I can why it's necessary on a Corvette to be competitive in its market. Camaro, on the other hand, is a different story.

Oh I would love a start button like on the Lexus GS450 or Honda S2000.

I think some traditionalists may even change their minds if everyone has seen the new Vette/Cadillac fobs, with no key. Would look great with Camaro insignia don't you think? See link below:

The Nissan Altima I rented last weekend had it, so its not really a "high end" feature anymore. It was cool to unlock the car, get in, and start it without taking the fob out of my pocket. All my family wanted to have a turn pushing the button to start the car.
It did feel like a waste on a cheap car like that, but it would make a good option on the Camaro.

Soon most cars will come with that. I wouldn't say it's a waste. They are pioneering this technology for affordable cars.

I personally like the idea of walking up to my car, opening the door, starting it and driving off. All with my keys attached to my belt loop.

Even though I don't want it, I think it is an alright feature as long as it's new, but what happens years down the road when it doesn't work so well anymore.

I would rather just have keys.

Then it would probably just be a matter of replacing the button or fob which is a HELLUVALOT easier and faster than changing out a "normal" lock cylinder

......I've changed three of them over the years .

My 1949 Chev UHP Car has one and it's pretty cool. So if they could make it happen in 1949, it should be no problem in 2009.
