basically, if you pulled it off and looked straight down from above it, it would have protrusions and the like. Its much more than some standard trapezoidal mesh you get at Home depot.
Thanks for the info. I'm sure it looks better in person, but all I have to go by is the photos and I'm not liking it so far. I'll be checking it out as soon as one shows up at one of my local dealers.

I considered it, sure... but I still don't like it. I won't be going 100+ MPH in my car very often, so I'd prefer that it look good day to day than perform optimally once in a blue moon.

And about that "faster roofline" - makes me wonder how a sunroof is going to fit in there without either, A) looking big and bulky from the outside or B) robbing more of the already limited headroom inside the cabin.

My unofficial gripes are the colors first off. No green and no orange, couldve lost 1 of each of the double colors and the awful silver for some new colors. Not sure bout interior yet as the seats look very flat and im not sure of the colors in that selection as theres no blue leather for the blue cars. No 7 speed manual also.

Anyone else think they are saving the green or orange for a special edition color or 50th anniversary color?

+1 +1 +1 +1 x 10000000000

I've stated the exact same thing about 3 or 4 times on these forums. Yellow can't continue to be their idea of the "fun" color while the rest is standard fare. Sure, they have hyper blue, but how about a few more eye-catching colors? 3 shades of grey is just insanity.

My gripe... I'm frustrated with all the hype around new product introductions and the attempt to create discontent with the product I'm still making payments on. Camaro6 discussions on how GM should just drop the v6 from the lineup and the 200 pound weight loss issue makes your camaro5 a bus. It must be the nature of the beast. I just need to stop reading some of these forums and appreciate the car in my garage, which is better than 99% of what people drive around the world.

I hope not just an edition color. Remember synrrgy green was special edition until it opened up to all models. I love the green thats on the new gm trucks and would buy that on a camaro in an instant w black rims black stripes

Lacpac they will never drop the economy models as too many people buy them. I love the 5th gen look and ive had about 4 of them and the 15 1le is awesome looking but to me as a performance guy why buy the older 5th gen version when the newer base model outperforms it? Nobody is creating discontent, remember there couldnt be a 6th gen without that 5th gen bus. Lol

They should've put the steering wheel entertainment controls on the left side, so people with manual transmission cars can use them while shifting. The cruise control buttons should be on the right because obviously you would not be using them while shifting.

Standard (boring) selection of colors, no orange (what I want) or green. Why have 2 greys, 2 blacks, and 2 reds? Offer some different colors! No 7 speed manual (but I feel like this won't be that big of a deal). That's pretty much it. I love the car otherwise and I think the interior is awesome.

If your driving to where you need to be shifting you shouldn't be messing with any other controls anyway, pay attention to your driving!

The 6th gen will probably get CarPlay / Android Auto. That way, it'll have decent voice control too and this will be a total non-issue. Unless you're making too much background noise. Then… make better playlists ahead of time so you don't need to skip tracks?
