at one time we were told they were looking at seats like those in a Mustang and steering wheel like the one in a Camaro ..... picture of the steering wheel in my wife's 2016 Camaro RS

Do you have the "mood" lighting in the interior?
The last Camaro I drove at night was a 2015 black on black, and the blue mood lighting and a HUD.
I thought the mood lighting was a very cool interior touch.

Why do they take what appears to be a very comfortable-to-hold flat spot on the bottom of the wheel, and ruin it with that center support? I tend to hold the wheel at the bottom, and that support just gets in the way.

it does .... it has the top Camaro interior with all the bells and whistles .... its proving to be an exceptional vehicle .... its ride is exceptional, I can ride in it for hours without hurting my back .... I really enjoy the air conditioned seats and heated steering wheel .... gets 31+ mpg cruising at interstate plus a few mph

The tablet in the Elio has been a great idea. This is something that you only really see on higher end cars. The Infinite Skyz app is just a great thing to have due to the flexibility it can have for the future. Just watching the Infinite Skyz video shows what you'll be able to do. Just make sure you are not distracted while driving.

I sat in on the show and tell that Infinite Skyz did, and it what it could do, not what it can do. It's not any better then apps that are already out on the market; at least if it were real it wouldn't be any better. You don't get a tablet with it, you have to provide your own; there is a monthly service charge, but they don't know what it is yet; the camera's they talk about, well they haven't figured out what they will use, and those will probably be extra. And the lane tracking, blind spot, and other views ..... That's if your car already has those as standard equipment, the Skyz systems doesn't add it to your car.
So what do you get for $2K? And OBD II device you plug into a port, and an app you download. That's it.
