If you read some of my previous posts on it I haven’t been a huge fan of it. But the more I see it, the more I like it (heck, I really didn’t like the '98+ Fbodies when they first came out, but I fell in love w/ my '99 Z/28). I can really see one in black on black lowered on CCW 505As. Or perhaps orange, though I don’t know if I could drive an orange car every day. Haha. The interior is another story, I just don’t like it thus far, though I’ve yet to sit in one. I never really “liked” the interior on my '99, or even the interior on my Z06, but I love both cars. This is different though… the 4th Gen and C5 just have “bland” interiors, while the 5th Gen interior has a lot going on, and to my eye (again, just from pics) is actually ugly. I’m not sure I could get past that. But I really feel like the pricing is right. The way I’d want one (1SS w/ few options) would come in around 33-34k. That’s not bad, and with GM loyalty bucks, some $ on a GM card etc I could get it around 30k (once the whole dealer markup phase is over). I’m currently working a Lemon Law case on my IS250, **_if_** it works out in my favor I may have to pick up a 5th Gen later this year. I figure by the end of the year all of the early bugs should be worked out (such as the current battery cable recall), dealers won’t still be asking mark-ups (the “money is no object” buyers will have dried up), and with GM still hurting some deals might even be out there. Hmmmmm… -TJ ---

Meh, I have a feeling the first time I see the interior in person you’ll have nothing to worry about because I’ll hate it so much I get over the idea. In the meantime I’ve been using [this](http://www.chevrolet.com/allnewcamaro/?evar10=DIVISIONAL_HOMEPAGE_LEFTPROMO1_ALL_NEW_CAMARO#camaro=build-your-own) to build out cars and the car the way I’d want it is about $32.5-33k depending on stripes or not. I actually would “only” want the 1SS unless GM has really, really, really changed their leather. Orange w/ Cyber Gray stripes… Orange w/ White… Orange w/ Black… Cyber Gray w/ Orange… Black… The car looks good in Orange, but I don’t know if I could actually own/drive an Orange car. -TJ ---

I think the car has a nice roofline & the sides look decent. The front end is growing on me. The back end is absolutly horrible. Of the pics above, the black looks best. ---

You can get the center gauge cluster as part of the RS package on a 1SS IIRC. I would like the Bluetooth and USB (for iPod etc) of the 2SS, but could do without the leather, and I really wouldn’t want a sunroof. Even still, the 2SS isn’t tooooo much if you skip the stupid $5k wheels and stuff. -TJ ---

you can not get the gauges on the 1ss you have to have the 2ss unless you order the gauges seperate and have them installed. ---
