:cry:

There's been official word that the big swath of light that goes across the interior of the Camaro isn't going to make it into the production car quite as it's been touted. They've said they had too much trouble getting it to work reliably, so they're limiting it to the door panels...the strip across the dash will be inert.

Which sucks, because the interior materials of the car are kind of lackluster, but that ambient lighting setup made up for it. Now it's just...oh well.

Well this sucks.

swell. just fucking swell.

It's great...Camaro forums have gone apeshit, with half of the members saying this is going to give them second thoughts about the car, and the other half calling the first half pussies for being concerned with the interior.

hahaha that sounds about right

uh. they're getting all up in a fuss about a cheesy gimmick that in no way affects the performance of the vehicle?
well, scratch that, that's about 60lbs off the curb you dont have to worry about...
shit, cry me a river.

fucking interwebs

gotta love it

Considering it's just a light, I wonder what other features they'll have to drop because of trouble getting them to work reliably.

Its probably a programming vs cost issue in the BCM why they can't get it to work right.


Also, there is a tremendous "brain drain" going on in detroit with all the "layoffs" and buyouts going on.

I'm sure it'll show up in the aftermarket somewhere.

i didnt even know it had that. pretty sweet though.

they should just pay the japs to do it. theyll get it to work reliably.

should have flagged the Camaro i saw this morning down to look inside

If I lived in the vehicular manslaughter capital of the world, I'd be constantly flagging down random motorists too!
