Is the back-up camera picture in the rear-view mirror kewl or what!!
Another benefit of the rear-camera is the rear spoiler is actually larger because of the camera. Looks better in my opinion than the standard one

Also, when it syncs my phone and I make a call, I have to turn the volume WAY up, everytime. Even then, the people on the other end still have difficulty hearing me.
Overall it's fantastic, and another feature I would rank at or above my MB, but it does have it's quirks.

just saw my first 2010 in person and i have to say that, through the window, the interior looks fantastic!
nice car you got there!

I think the waves in the leather are due to the softness; the leather in these are surprisingly plush. I traded a 08 Mercedes Benz C300 in on the GT, and I would put the GT's interior above the MB's in quality. I'm not too worried about the leather retaining waves or wrinkles, I'm pretty versed in taking care of these things and will be on the lookout!!

Nice Car!! I sat in one last week and I can say, the interior is light years better than the 05-09 models. I have an '08 so I was actually kind mad they made it that much better. lol So I would say the interior and the new contour from the door jams to the rear fenders are my favorite parts of the car. Now if only we could get a 350+ Hp V8.........
Nice Car.

Easily one of the coolest features of the car!
When I first got into the car at the dealer, I had no idea it had a camera. It's wasn't till I noticed it on the spoiler that cought my attention. I asked the sales guy where the video output to, and ha said the mirror. I checked again, but didnt notice any seams that would normaly accompany an lcd in a mirror, but sure enough start her up and put her in reverse and there it is. Now there are those that scoff at the idea of a backup camera in a car, but my driveway slopes down and to the right on the the way out; and with the "whale tail" spoiler I cant see the concrete out the back. Now for me it's not to big of a deal, as I have backed out enough to do it with my eyes closed. However once the wife does it (a wife that has single handedly cost me body work on a avalance, corvette, and GTO due to her driving "skills") it will be worth it's weight in gold.
Also, it makes backing fully into parking spots a breeze.

I traded a MB on the GT (as mentioned above) but before that I had a 450RWHP Corvette and a 500RWHP GTO. Coming directly off the lethargic MB makes the GT a blast to drive, but there is that little voice in my head that wispers of more.
I'm hoping I can hold that little voice back as long as I can, but eventually it'll start screaming, and then the 2010 will go under the knife.... Im thinking a S/C would be a nice start.
