Seat belt mechanisms come to mind. As much as I prefer hardtops to post cars, most modern seat belt systems require the post to operate. My 69 Firebird had a shoulder restraint but it was attached to the top and you had to fold it up when not in use and put it behind these weird wire brackets above the window. It was ugly and a pain in the ass, quite frankly.
Actually they don't. The Mercedes S-class coupe does not have a B-pillar and they have seat belts. The rear windows roll all the way down too I believe.

Funny a lot of people seem to think this. I like 10-11 wheel way way more than the generic cookie cutter later wheel.

I don't have experience driving with the 2010-11 steering wheel, but it sure looks much better on the Camaro than the 2012-15.

I prefer my 2010 steering wheel if for no other reason, it says Camaro over the airbag. There's no mistaking that the steering wheel in your hands belongs to the awesome car you're driving. That and it's teaching my 2.5 year old son how to spell Camaro while he "drives" the car.

Odd, I'm 6'3 and have plenty of headroom in my '10. Do you like the seat fully vertical?

My only gripe is the rear visibility. The sight picture for lane changing and curved merging exit ramps is terrible. Can't see shit backing into parking spaces. Backup sensors and rear camera should have been standard, and I have neither lol. Maybe someday when I feel like throwing a grand at the stereo I'll have a camera.

I don't like the factory add-on ground effects (front lip, rocker panels, rear diffuser) from 2010/2011. It always looked out of proportion to me. The fake rectangular exhaust tips makes it even worse. The ground effects look better if the car is lowered but I still don't like it.
My other gripe is the 2010/2011 steering wheel. I like the look and unique 'Camaro' center but the ergonomics are horrible. There's no comfortable spot for my hands and the steering wheel is not ideal for autocross/road course driving.

That's the reason why I opted for no sunroof. At 7' tall the sunroof is a big no-no for me.

So I haven't been in one with a sunroof, am I to understand the sunroof has a lower interior roof?

i love my maro the chassis is still based on the Holden manaro/GTO. the GTO had a better interior but the styling sucked

Its based on the Holden VX Commodores Zeta chassis.

The official name for the Camaro Chassis was Zeta 2

The Monaro/GTO was Sigma.

Only the concept and Transformer movie cars were built on the Sigma.

That brings me to the one thing I didn't like...…..the weight!

If they could have figured a way to cut another 300 to 400 lbs these cars would be killer.
