Cool

I would like to see the gas door be on the drivers side of the car, so you don't have to back the car in, park against the grain........................................... JRJ

I was going to write reasons for your complaints, but I believe you just don't get it. Sorry next time buy a CTS sedan I think it's what you're desiring.
Get over yourself. It is just a car, and no car is perfect. That was the point of the entire post.

Probably not going to happen, but if GM took notice of the complaints and came out with a 6th gen that looked equally good but came in more colors, had more backseat and trunk space, no transmission problems and better paint. How would that be a bad thing?

Besides, it looks like according to your sig, you don't even own one. So how would you know what flaws it does or does not have?

^^^ THIS!!! Exactly. Just ride in the passenger seat of your Camaro (or a friend's) for more than a couple of minutes of "spirited" driving and you'll know immediately how badly this is needed. Boggles my mind that it was left out.

That was one of the purposes of my post. I don't expect GM to listen and make changes to the 5th Gen, but hopefully they see the most common complaints in this post and correct it on the 6th Gen. A company that listens to customers tends to do better than one that does not.

I wish they would have had a white top/int option. Would have made the IPCs just that much better.

Definitely better paint!

Instead of people tuning the AFM out why not just incorporate it into the nanny button, so when in sport (comp) mode its in sport mode period! And when you are cruzing, turn the nannys back on and turns AFM back on, now its in "economy" mode. So many people have voided their warranty due to this and I kinda think GM knew what they were doing when they put AFM on the L99, ie: people were going to tune it out thus voiding the warranty.

Most of these suggestions have merit,however I feel there are a few
on here that would buy a motorcycle and complain that it didn't have
airconditioning.

Since I have a 2LS, the only thing I can really complain about it that they skimped on USB connectivity for I pods and MP3 players. and the Steel Heritage wheels which look decent but come on GM its a #$@#^**&% CAMARO...so what if its stock!! put some pride into it...and give it decent rims.

I wont complain about the interior, I love it even if it is "cheap plastic" its the best bare bones interior of any car on the market. This is actually what sold me I saw the other camaros on the lot and except for the wheels center console guages and lights its the same...so I went cheaper.....

I wish the orange light that is on my doors was continued across the dash where it looks like it should be lit up. That would make it look awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!

The window shade visor is really short. Wind noise on the driver side.

I do love the car.
