When you do look at more performance focused cars like the Camaro, they tend not to offer as many of those features for more of a focus on the 'driving experience'.

I imagine that is part due to a desire to offer the most bang for your buck performance wise, and also that the target market for this car not placing as much importance on extra features.

That's not to say the Camaro is lacking in available technology and features.. heated steering wheel/seats, heads up display, android auto/carplay, rear camera & sensor, lane change, cross traffic, auto dimming mirror, collision warning, etc.. You can't expect everything in my opinion, there will always be other features other automakers have added on that aren't in the model you want.

I'm sure additional cameras for improved visibility will become more common in cars going forward. I saw the rear-view mirror camera feature on the CT6 and that looks awesome, but all that stuff will take time before it becomes more prevalent on new models.
Hey man THANKS!! Great answer and very thoughtful and not bashing. I truly do appreciate it.
