True, but which begs the question "why not just get a Gen5 Camaro?" since the Camaro has much more readily available body panels, etc. I'm already scared to drive my G8 GXP, since I've heard horror stories about 5-month waits for body panels from Australia.

A real improvent would be to use cameras located elsewhere outside the vehicle to project a virtual side view on the inner driver's door, thereby improving aerodynamics.

. . . and eating this

The suspect was last seen wearing this brand of clothing . . .
