Re: Now it is our turn to drive the Camaro Concept!
Is the location of the gages on the console really an issue? (I have a feeling you guys are going to need a plastic surgeon to remove the permanent grins from your faces. 
)

Re: Now it is our turn to drive the Camaro Concept!
-Do you sit more upright in this car, as opposed to the bathtub-style position in the 3rd/4th Gens?
-Does it feel as low to the ground as the previous Gens?
-Does its sedan roots show? (Goes back to the whole size thing)
I'm really most curious about driver positioning, does it "feel" like the Camaro we're used to or is it higher, more upright and more commanding like a sedan, or the Mustang....

Regardless, if we get the chance, we will indeed ask.

(See I've been lurking around for a bit.)
Seriously, though, I'm sure whatever imput you give back will be heard by the developers. I thought that such a radio may be too expensive for the car, but it would be a really nice feature. At the least, the radio needs an auxiliary jack.
The only real deal breaker preventing me from buying the car is how comfortable I'm am in the car. I'm 6'3", so headroom/legroom is of high importance. I really see this as a non-issue, because I'm sure GM will make sure taller people will have no problem sitting in the car. (at least the front seats)
Oh, by the way, thanks for the welcome.

However, so much in that department will be different we will be asking about it but not focusing on it when it comes to the drive.
What will be important...

I'd like the stereo system operate similarly to Sony's MEX-1GP radio. The face of the radio has 4GB of memory and detaches so you can download MP3's from your PC to it.
Sony MEX-1GP detached face
Another idea is for the radio capable of reading SD memory cards, so you can download MP3 to the cards.
The key to such a radio will be the interface; it will have to be easy to navigate through your music on it or it will be too hard to use while driving.

Re: Now it is our turn to drive the Camaro Concept!
I would be interested to know how easy/difficult getting in and out of the car is. The 4th gen's are low and have long doors making entry/exit in tight areas difficult.
