It's just a in-line plug in to bypass CAGS, can easily be removed

Canada's emissions regulations align with the US's EPA. Increased efficiency also results in reduced emissions. Skip shift isn't going anywhere.

Chevy had focus groups with actual owners of the 5th gen Camaro.

Just like now most actual camaro owners don't have an issue with the visibility. I certainly don't. And, I'd rather keep the looks of the 2016 which I absolutely love....vs trading for "slightly" improved visibility.

While we are on that topic

...can someone explain that to me? Why would your focus group be a bunch of current owners? Shouldn't the focus be on getting new customers into your car? I'm pretty certain that was a mistake. If they would have asked focus groups of their desired age demographics and income range they would have got some better criticism that some enthusiasts may turn a blind eye to. I'm almost certain that us Camaro fans are a huge majority of the people who don't believe the visibility issue is well an issue. Any person who has never been in a 5th or 6th gen camaro that gets into one first remarks on the lack of visibility. Don't get me wrong its tolerable and I will buy a 6th gen because of the superior driving characteristics compared to the Mustang and Challenger. That being said I think its hilarious that they decided the visibility wasn't an issue because 5th gen owners said, its a sacrafice we are willing to make for the style of the car. No kidding! If they didn't think it was worth it they wouldn't have bought it.

Sorry. Rant over.

Or at least a decent wheel/tire package with a wider set up and non run flats an option...
Your mythical 1LE will not show up for 2017MY, But as a 2018MY. I bet my car on that. The ZL1 is coming next

Volume/music track controls on the left side of the steering wheel.

Black illuminated Bowtie.

Just a tad bit more storage space in that center console.

Storage compartment behind the center touch screen like in the C7.

(I realize only the Bowtie wish is likely to happen)

The black "Glow Tie" has been announced. It's just not in the catalog yet or on the order sheet. Hopefully soon.

Now that the cat is out of the bag on 1LE, anyone have any speculation on new 2SS features?

Its not fantastic like a truck or SUV but its completely bearable. This is my second 5th gen and I'm used to it. Even my wife who absolutely hated it got used to it and doesn't mind any more. I'm in the camp that would rather keep the chopped look than have mini van visibility.
