I dont think this is the final revision of the wheel, I think its a parts bin make over for now, Its still a year off from production guys

Remember trunk locks on the vert, etc...

The steering wheel in the ZL1 looks much better than whats in the current camaros. Who cares if its out of a Volt? The subtle changes to the interior with the leather stitching and the suede make the interior look 1000 times better.

Don't knock it till you've tried it...I guess??. Can we get any input from anyone who owns a vehicle with that type of steering wheel?

I really like this new steering wheel...believe it or not. It looks slick in my eye, and the flat bottom will help in ingress/egress. Not to mention it's a very unique, sporty look.

I don't.....mind?...the bowtie...but it doesn't quite fit the rest of the interior, imo. There's a "ZL1" on the bottom of the wheel, a "ZL1" in front of the Passenger...I think the steering wheel should say "Camaro" like the old one did.

Camaro team...please re-mold the middle section? Pretty please?

Like the steering wheel quite a bit, looks like it came out of ahigh end exotic! Would love to have it say Camaro, or better yet, emblazoned with the old red/white/blue shield of Camaro's past.

I prefer the much-maligned wheel that is in the current car. I am not sure putting the Camaro script on the wheel would fix my concerns about it, but it would be a start.

I can't say that I like it at all. But that is just my opinion. I would rather see the current SS steering wheel with the ZL1 emblem or something else. Just my .02 cents.

Id say Camaro would look cool. If it comes like they show it now, I counted 20 ZL1 badges throughout the car, haha, way too much!

Love the new wheel, but the bow-tie is too generic.

The 5th gen Camaro logo would be much better.

Keep the bowtie and it's a d-bottom steering with with some actual contours. Let me bring to light the trash steering wheel that sits in the corvettes and compare that to this steering wheel.

Yeah! It's MUCH MUCH better!

Yeah the Vette wheel is straight out of a Cobalt, even in ZR1 trim! Camaro's is at least unique. But I agree, put the Camaro script on the cover and it will help it not look exactly like something that's in the Cruze or Equinox.
