The question that I've never asked but always comes to my mind when I see US (LS1) Camaros vs my Export Camaro:

Why do they have a different design of the knobs for HVAC and lights?

Anyone got an idea?

Today, while going through some older test reports of LS1 cars, I think I know more:

In one report, a Firehawk had exactly the same knobs. So it looks they have not only used the Firehawk/Firebird's seats (which has a reason) but also the knobs! But why...
