Based on the 6th gen, what do you want Chevrolet to do better/include with the 7th gen Camaro?

The 6th gen was mostly perfect in my opinion. Most complaints revolve around people expected their sports car to be a sedan or touring car.
I would say front seat lumbar would be nice, and a fully customizable cluster.

Lumbar support would be great.

I'm surprised more don't complain about d-shaped wheels. Mfg's seem to be using them more because they're trendy and viewed as sporty. They do give more leg room, but only when the steering wheel isn't turned. Every time I grab that flat section I think "what a stupid design!" It's not tactilely pleasing. The plastic insert is what makes it feel cheap. Going from a uniform leather surface to a flat plastic surface while shuffling the wheels and hands yeah, not great... It's especially annoying when sliding the car or doing donuts.

Here's my solution to the plastic bottom/insert problem. The photo doesn't give it justice, this carbon fiber plus perforated leather steering wheel is nearly perfect.

That said, I understand why you want a proper circle for drifting and very quick end to end turns, I'm just saying that the shape itself doesn't make the wheel "cheap" or "premium".

The lack of lumbar support must have been another cost saving measure, GM has excellent lumbar support implementation in other vehicles.

I'm less concerned with the shape of the steering wheel than say, driver visibility or a more useful center console. The one exception I have to calling the 6th gen "perfect" is the lack of window space. The rear view camera was a huge improvement, so much so that I had my rear window blocked out with a sunshade on my 2019 and F250s with their enormous front lighting didn't bother me one bit during my usual dark morning drive to work. However, in true GM fashion, they short changed us when adopting said camera mirror by dropping the HomeLink module so they could place the Onstar buttons, formerly on that mirror, onto the overhead console. It's an option I use every day to park my beauty in the garage. Making a perfect track car is one thing, making a performance car capable of tracking AND daily driving is much more enticing. As for seats, these Recaros are MUCH more comfortable than the ones the C7 I had were, even with lumbar controls. Form AND function, please GM!
