All I can say is... that's a pretty cool car

I think it's great how there's all this high-tech stuff (the HUD, back-up sensors/rear-view camera, etc.) yet they can still make it look retro (the 4-gauge cluster, etc.).

One thing that surprised me was the gear shifter -- it looks like the same kind of set-up as the 2012 Malibu I rented last October (6 speed with a manual mode, although that had a rocker switch versus the Camaro's paddle shifters). I would have expected something more similar to the Corvette's shifter handle which allows you to use that to shift gears (although that has paddle shifters too...).

I'm also shocked about the gas mileage -- that's pathetic! It's almost enough to make me want to avoid this car. But I still think it's a really exciting car and hope I can get it once
