First pics of 2010 Camaro backup sensors

[Mini-Meissen]

Since the announcement of the availability of backup sensors (rear park assist) for the 2010 Camaro, we have wondered if the sensors to be placed on the car’s rear bumper would be an obtrusive element to the rear styling of the Camaro. A member has now shared these first photos of the sensors installed [...]

Not horrible, but I sure am glad my dad's car doesn't have them...

Not too bad - they better not be standard.

I always wondered if those little things where sensors. My bosses van hates those and he didn't tell me how to turn them off till I got back. Man that was annoying!

2SS

Not standard on...

LS
1LT

Good god, I hope not - that's not something I'd want to pay for and have ugly up my car!!!

But it looks like you're right - that's a terrible decision!

Hey! As if the car doesn't weigh enough, lets put more shit on it, make it cost more and ugly it up.

Yeah I'm pretty sure what I wrote above is correct. Also, MSRP is now $250 higher because of it...

*coughAprilcough* JK

But yeah - sad to see that it's standard but what can you expect when you're trying to please the majority not the purists.

Shouldnt the 1SS be a Z28 then? Seems like they are loading the 2SS up with all the goods. 1SS might actually be faster if they keep doing this.

There had to have been a better location for them. Why not under the bumper or in the license plate well? Then they could just angle them upwards.

they would not work angled.....im sure the engineers had a reason to put them where they are.

it is always a constant battle between styling and engineering. i know this first hand because my dad works in gm styling while my mom works as an engineer......it's all tradeoffs, sensors that look better vs sensors that work better.

I just think these shouldn't be standard. The option is great, but not everyone wants these on their car and having to pay for what they don't want...
