LOL..... waiting for Bob's response.

 

Nope, but its a helluva lot cheaper, I have a radio (and a CB in one of my vehicles), and I don't like Thai.

And thanks for the welcome. I guess I'll stay in the 70's...or 80's...or whatever decade/century I'm in now.

 

That's great!

As for the nav. I think the Camaro should offer one because the competition does and it is a popular option. But for practical purposes I don't know if it's really any better than what most cell phones can do today. I know the iPhone I have with Google maps does a very good job.

 

Both my iPhone and Android phone can do this just fine, anywhere, in any of my cars--and have the added benefit of not contributing to the cars' obsolescence.

Welcome to the other 21st century--drive thru!

 

Too late. 2SS RS Cyber Grey metallic manual trans.........in my driveway.

 

Nothing to do with the topic, but I'm curious -- why would you have both an Android and an iPhone?

That's sort of like owning a Camaro and a Mustang
(come to think if it I might end up in that camp if the Coyote is as good as rumored)

 

Congratulations! How was the purchase experience?

 

Congratulations!! And in one of the hottest colors the car can wear!

 

I never thought of that. 20 years from now what will all these electronic things be like? Will your kids be laughing at how you needed a giant tv screen in your dash just to know where your going? Will common sense ever reign again? Has it ever?

 

Day job involves iPhone, Android, and Blackberry dev on occasion, so we have all the phones around. Lately been using the latest Droid instead of my increasingly-flaky iPhone. It has Google turn-by-turn nav.

But to contribute: yeah, that's why I never got into the "gotta have nav, gnar!" camp--car manufacturers should concentrate on making great cars, not great piles of soon-to-be-obsolete electronics.

We'll soon be holding all the computing power we'd ever need in our hands, and we don't have to worry about our car's dashboard display looking like Coleco Pong in a few years.

Investing in electronics in the dash has always been a bad bet--the FM radio in the '66 Vette was a $1200 option (in today's dollars), the CD player in my '93 Vette was part of a $1600 Bose system (in '93 dollars) . . . so I buy the car, not the gadgets.

 

I'm with you all the way on that...

 

cough late 80's Buick Riviera touchscreen cough





But it was cool at the time...

 

Are those screens really from a Buick? They are so hi-tech they could be straight out of Airwolf or something.

 

Excellent choice, congrats.

 

Thankyou! Overall, I'm really happy with the purchase experience. I got the car at MSRP with 1,250 off in rebates so I think I did pretty well for it being one of the hottest cars in America right now. It's Cyber Grey with silver stripes, and is just gorgeous. I didn't think I'd like it, but after seeing it in person in the sunlight, I was sold.
