At what price point? We all love carbon fiber - but it is expen$$$$$ive! The reality of the automobile business today is that you are limited in 'free-flow' options - because it adds huge costs and it also negatively affects product quality. So - that means that some of the features you're asking for will necessarily have to go in the 2LT and the 2SS packages - which increases the price.......... It's important that the Camaro remain a 'Chevrolet' in terms of price. That means that the base car cannot have everything that people are asking for......so if we include things such as carbon fiber - it would be on our uplevel packages - So you say "Fine! I'm willing to pay for it!" -- well - you might be, but what other percentage of the population is willing to pay for it? THAT'S the catch. We have to make hard, fast decisions - so we get some good stuff out of threads such as this - but we also have to weed thru a lot of undoables....... Keep it coming - but again - think about what I'm saying in terms of PRICE and WEIGHT and build complexity.

I do not like the rendering above, I would rather see something with a little more influence from the vette.

Wish list for Camaro 6
Hi Janet et al,
Here is my list for me to trade my 2012 2SS/RS automatic: 1) Lose weight 2) Navigation 3) Lighted Vanity Mirrors with slides 4) More throaty exhaust sound (I currently have SOLO exhausts) 5) Thermostat controlled heat/air (like my 2013 Malibu) 6) Driver Memory (like my 2013 Malibu) I really love my 2012 Convertible 2SS, but I would trade for the Camaro 6 if it had those above mentioned items. I hope Chevy doesn't change the "Style-Looks" very much. I would be willing to pay for the additional items. A laundry list would be preferred rather than the groupings Chevy now has. |

1LE option available on all models except ZR1 and Z28 should be a 1LE equipped, higher horsepower no FI.

I'm not sure that you understand that because a car shares the same platform doesn't mean they will share the same dimensions, wheelbase, track etc. or weight. Platforms can be modified in many ways to support many applications. The Zeta platform that GM adapted for the 5th Gen Camaro was heavily modified from larger 4 door architecture. Alpha will have to be modified for the Camaro as it is being for the new CTS. An Alpha based Camaro won't share the same wheelbase, track, overall length or width with the CTS or ATS and thus it will be misunderstood to think the weight won't change either.

Bring back the Z28
Design to be sleeker, more sculpted, and even closer to the look of the 69 Camaro Interior similar to the c7 corvette Overhauled Gauge cluster Cooled seats, optional luxury seats Heated/cooled/adjustable back seats Rear cupholders Much better cup holders in the front Ambient lighting standard Roof lighting/rear-view mirror/seat belts like the concept (see http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=132590) (Well designed and engineered) hardtop convertible for SS and ZL1 Heated steering wheel Redesigned trunk opening (be bigger and allow better access) Redesigned rear lights Optional high-end audiophile sound system (something like Sennheiser) More lightweight construction (drop about 400 lbs as most people have already said) Glove box light Good sun visors Durable paint More paint colors (I want a grey between the silver ice and ashen grey) Turn off button for the afm More rear leg room Memory seats Electronic parking brake Less plastic in interior Blind spot monitoring and turn signals on side mirrors Possibly hideaway lights More interior options (like ford) Unique Badge for camaro (maybe) Last edited by jk69; 01-24-2013 at 03:55 PM. |

Little people already have a BMW..... I would like to be able to put my right foot flat on the floor on long drives.... I think like they did with the Corvette make it a natural progression such as a evolution not a revolution...

Not sure if this has been mentioned but.... make the interior so that taller people (over 6 feet) do not have to have their heads hit the ceiling...I think this deters potential buyers due to the headroom, or lack of. Oh also....no more paddle shifters...make the sport mode use the shifter instead...I feel like an idiot using the paddle shifters :(
