RS package is a must have IMO, and is that the jewel red tintcoat?
Sweet ride, can I take it for a spin?

Yes the RS package was a must for me and a sun roof. I did not really like them at first either, but after driving one I fell in love, I did get the V6 just for better gas mileage.

It is the red jewel tintcoat. I debated between that and victory red, victory red was too red for me, and red is my favorite color.

Camaro

Good luck with new car. I do wish I could afford a new one. When you get tired of it and want to go back to the HHR world I would certainly think about you trading up to mine. tag Here's a pic of the one I bought back late in 1966. It was 1 day old.

I HATE the steering wheel in the new Camaros and plus it looks so busy in there. Interior FAIL ! Now, the interiors in an '83 Z28 & '94 I used to own looked so much better than the new ones.

Somber, isn't this like the pot calling the kettle black coming from an HHR owner?

DonBB82, nice that you're trading up to something that is equally unique as the HHR. Retro in a different way, instead of late 40's, it's late 60's. Good luck and many happy miles...

Thank you! I don't think the interior is busy at all. It looks pretty cool. it has light bars on the doors. It has the HUD which is really nice! I love it!!!

I loved my HHR too but I have to admit love the camaro more!

I too owned a 67 and stupidly sold it in 2001! It was beautiful!

No, the steering wheel isnt a deep as the camaro's & plus the grip isnt nearly as thick.

4th gen camaros steering wheels felt so natural. The new one= FAIL !!
